Chicago to Florida: Camp Lakewood in Effingham is open all year as is Whittington Woods in southern Illinois. We like to make our first stop in Paducah, KY (about 380 miles) and stay overnight at Duck Creek RV park a Good Sam park. From there we go to Chattanooga then to Cordele, GA our last stop before our destination in Bushnell, FL at Blueberry Hill R V Resort just off I-75. The first day is about 8 hours but each succeeding day is more like 6 hours to four hours on the last leg.

we used to stay at Camp Lakewood often until it was sold. it's changed hands a few more times since then and to us it seems like the current owners are letting the little things go. Whittington Woods is a new one for us and I'll look that one up. we also use Duck Creek and like that park quite a bit. that's one of the open all year en route parks that we've identified and is about a 6-hr ride from home for us making it our first stop. we prefer heading to Florida via I-57/I-24/I-65/US231/I-10/I-75 thus avoiding Hotlanta. there are a few open all yr parks on I-65 in AL and by the time we get to Montgomery I suspect most parks will be open but we'll plan on making short hops out of respect for the weather and arriving early to get a spot.
