Oregon to Indiana

At the end of September, we will be going from Oregon to Indiana....will be a direct route, probably taking I-80 the majority of the way.....any suggestions for places to stay along the way??.. We will be in a 43' class A with toad.

  • US Highway 20
    go to the library .
    find the book " Road Trip USA ".
    Read the section for US Hiway 20 .
    we did that and it was great .
    Lots to see .
    we continued on from Gary Indiana all the way to "Lands End " in Maine .
  • Depends what you're looking for, lp5151. Assuming you're looking for FHU pull-thrus long enough for your rig, you will probably want to avoid state parks (even though Starved Rock is quite nice.) Some we have used & thought were anywhere from pretty good to excellent:

    Wyoming: Lyman KOA (more of a country "feel" and quieter than Rock Springs KOA
    Cheyenne KOA - make reservations, as only a few sites will be long enough unless you unhook the toad

    Nebraska: (haven't used Cabelas' CG in Sidney, but it looks ok if you don't mind road noise)
    Best Holiday Trav'l Park, North Platte - you may need to unhook the toad here
    Prairie Oasis RV Park, Henderson NE (near York) - former KOA, nice young owners, some sites are good & long, pretty quiet
    Grand Island KOA - standard KOA, decent stop, pizza on site (will deliver to your rig)

    Iowa: Des Moines KOA - some good long sites, not much road noise, decent place
    Kellogg RV Park, Kellogg - behind a gas station, doesn't look like much but decent overnight, clean facilities, nice little burger joint in the gas station (popular with locals)

    Illinois: Hickory Hollow CG, Utica - convenient to I-80, southwest of Chicago, not much road noise
  • RV Resorts, FHU CGs, State parks, Walmarts, rest areas, Cracker Barrel, etc. ?
