Stopover half-way Dallas and Destin FL Via I-10 on way back

What I do is bring up my pending trails on the GOOGLE MAP and put RV CAMP GROUNDS in the search form. Then as I move the map along the route it will bring up all the available camping locations near the route.

Its easy to use the mouse then and click on the ones of interest for more information.

Then when someone recommends a new place you can a better idea about it...

I-20 through Louisiana is some of the worst maintained interstate highway I've driven - at least it was when we made that trip a couple of years ago. I'm surprised we didn't suffer kidney damage from all the pounding we took.

Sorry I can't offer a suggestion of where to stay. We overnighted in a Sam's parking lot in Hattiesburg.

OK, one possibility: Take I-49 at Shreveport, then pick up I-10 at Layfayette to I-12 in Baton Rouge. There are two nice state parks just off I-12: Fairview Riverside at Madisonville and Fontainbleau just down the road at Madeville. I know there are some private parks in the same area but we have never stayed at them. In recent years we have favored Faiview Riverside.

It should be an easy trip from there on down to Destin.

We have also stayed at Buccaneer State Park near Waveland, MS.

EDIT TO ADD: If these are two far down the road for "half way" there are some good parks around Lafayette. I can't remember the names just now as we are on the road, but they should be easy to find.

Cajun Palms at exit 115 of I-10 on the north side is a great park.

We have stayed there numerous times and it is a resort.

Cajun Palms is awesome!! We stayed there right after New Years. It is a beautiful resort. We had no trouble getting in at that time of year but hear that it is very hard to get into during the summer months. Good luck, John

If you stay on I-20 then River Town Campground is just south of I-20. Large maintained sites.

Well...y'all had some great suggestions. We ended up at Magnolia RV Park Resort just over the border in Mississippi but we are going to do something different on the way back and look at your suggestions to try out for the night. I-20 is a beating!

I tried to tell ya! :)

So, for the trip back Friday, how about "A plus motel and RV Park" in Sulphur LA? Anybody try that?

Not doing I-20 for the way back-I-10 is a much better road. Hoping to hear any thoughts for "A Plus motel and RV Park" for the way back....
