I had this same experience from NC to CA 2 years ago, 7200 mile road trip. 5 Star rating, well that needs to be taken in account that at one time maybe. But I did find, any place was do-able for a night or two. I did make sure though that our long term parking,hookup needs were resort affirmed when I was staying more than 2 weeks at a time. I utilized the Internet a lot for this aspect. However after the trip, it was a blessing to get back to our home park (were full timers) which IS a 5 star resort, makes you really realize how wonderful our park is in Jackson Springs NC.
