Stockton, Ca to Phoenix

my wife's cancer has not gone away. we have contacted the Cancer Center in Phoenix. we hope to hear back Monday or Tue.
can you help with best route to get there.
have been told they have a full campground on site.
not sure of any other accommodations
  • French Camp Rd south of Stockton is a decent road from 5 to 99 or 46 from Lost Hills.

    The quickest route is 5, 210 (mid day) and 10. All of the above other routes are longer but less traffic. The 2 lane 58 west of Barstow is in poor shape. The 4 lane portion is OK. I don't recall any significant delays on 58 this summer.

    Below is the way we go every Fall;

    Get over to the 99-S when you can to Bakersfield...we usually stay overnight at the Orange Grove RV Park.

    Then the 58 to Barstow picking up I-40 to Needles, Ca. Plenty of places to stay overnight...we are Elks members so we stay at the Lodge...6 sites, 50 amp FHU's.

    Then we take the ramp left for I-40 East toward Kingman. Then take exit 144, take ramp right for US-95 South toward Blythe.

    Then turn right onto US-95 / E Broadway St.

    Then turn left onto CA-62 to AZ-95 / S California Ave. to I-10E to Phoeniz.

    All good roads.


    Thanks had been thinking of taking that way this summer but definitely will now!!
  • Thanks! The beauty is we are in no rush. As long as the road is in good shape, we are good to go!
  • Thanks
