Usually rush hour begins at 3pm until 7pm in the big cities.

Thanks for the help

Elkhart, IN has the RV Heritage Museum just off of I90. Quiet, nice place to spend the night.

See if the Casino Campers site has any suggestions. I always have good luck at casinos for overnight stops. Plus they also (usually) have 24 hr food available.

I passed that on the way here. Maybe on the way home I'll have a little more time.thank you.

While going to Sturgis and Yellowstone, we've stopped at Belvidere East KOA several times , it's right off I-90 easy in/out. They grill up Bison burgers in the evening ( along with other stuff) -- it's about 600 miles to Yellowstone from there--- Devils Tower is on the way if you are so inclined
Other than that, I've used Cracker Barrel's, churches and auto parts stores for quick stops.

following this myself as we have future plans to head West to Yellowstone from central Ohio.

What are some "Must See" stops between Ohio and Yellowstone? I know one on our list would be Mt Rushmore but I'm sure there are some other major attractions that would be worth while.

jiveturkey, I would love to get a post trip recap on your stops, mishaps, or misc things we should take into consideration and plan for.

Thanks...

I'm on my way back from Yellowstone ... I live in Dayton OH. I left at midnight on a Friday and drove till 3am (4am with time change) to a nice rest stop just over the Indiana/Illinois state line. The next day I drove from there to another rest stop an hour or so past Sioux Falls SD. The next morning we left and made it into Custer State Park where we stayed for 6 days and went to The Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave NP, Devils Tower, Wall Drug, Minuteman Missile Silo and about a million other things. If Custer was in any other state it would be a national park no questions asked. From there to Yellowstone was a solid 10hrs taking Rt 16 to the south of the Bighorns through Cody and into the East entrance. The Bighorns were a lot easier than I thought they were going to be. The way everyone around here talks you'd think you were driving to the moon. As long as you have more truck than you do camper you'll be more than fine. Onve past the Bighorns it's an easy drive. Just remember from Cody you are two hours to Fishing Bridge.... Which is where I stayed as well. My route was 70, to 74 in Indy, to 80 in Davenport IA, to 29 near Omaha, to 90 in Sioux Falls to 16 in to Yellowstone. And don't look at the times on google maps for drive times. Once you get on 29 the speed limit is 80 almost all the way to Yellowstone so the times are pretty skewed.

The east entrance is fine. I'd skip fishing bridge and go to Grizzly Campground in West Yellowstone.. You'll have a much better stay, Mammoth is my fav in park. If you MUST stay in the park there are better alternatives.
