The Natchez Trace pulling a trailer

Oops, duplicate post. Sorry

or the 'Wall" right across the border close to Flarence, AL. ?? This is one not to miss. Not Actually on the Trace, but less than a mile from it. Well worth a stop.

Driving the Trace, who else has discovered the Old Country Store in Lorman, MS?? Or for the History, the campground at Port Royal??

We drove the "Trace" a few years ago and had a really wonderful time. We did not pull the trailer, we used our itty-bitty car that got about 40 mpg on that trip. We drove to see the Duck Dynasty place in Alexandria, LA, and drove the "Trace" coming home. We did do motels that trip ... AND NEVER AGAIN! OH MY!

We took our time driving the "Trace" and we stopped at almost every attraction on the route. All the while, we had the camper in mind. At that time we had our 31 foot Springdale, and I was constantly thinking if we had the truck and trailer with us, could we navigate. With all but a very few exceptions, the answer was yes. There's parking somewhere, long enough to get out, see the attraction and get going again. Some spots have bigger parking area, depends on the attraction.

There are 3 campgrounds along the "Trace" but more if you get off the "Trace" and find a campground local to your chosen exit. Spend the night, then come back and continue the next day. Here's a link with more campground information and additional links that might be helpful: Click here.

As stated above, the speed limit is 50 mph, and you really do not want to run any faster. When we drove it, we did see several law enforcement and National Park vehicles out and about. Plus, as stated above, there are bicyclists, folks walking, and generally, other traffic. 2 lane road, lots of curves, but nothing sharp. In other words, you just never know what around the next curve... law enforcement, a bicyclist, or an attraction. So, drive modestly and make unexpected stops the normal, and not the exception.

Most of all, have fun. It's a very enjoyable drive. It's definitely one of those roads still left in the USA where if someone is tailgating you ... well ... the may be behind you, but they won't be going over 50 either.

You seem to be a little longer than my rig (43 ft.) but I see no problems for you on the Trace.

Well you have to decide what sights you want to see. Directly along the Trace there is no development. It's a national park.

There are pull-offs along the way, for the roadside sights. Then there are many things right off the trace, battlefields, historic homes, etc.

It's 400 miles, which would be an 8 hour drive with no stopping. But there is a lot to see along the way. It would be a big mistake to just drive and not get off to see any of the adjacent area.

If you are just using it for a roadway, be aware the speed limit is 50 mph. It is also heavily used by bicyclists. So it's slow going.

We went in early April. Dogwoods were just blooming in TN, and it was way past spring at the south end. You will want AC. If I were doing it again, I would leave from the north end the last week in March.

With the rig shown, you should have no problems. There are a few spots that might be too small, but most will be no problem. We have run it with a 30' motor home and toad lots of times. Just be aware that it is a narrow two-lane highway with little or no shoulders and an enforced speed limit. A real fun, casual drive. And before you take off, PM me for several must do places on the trip.
