Fall 2023 Adventure

I've got an El Monte C28 booked for September thru October later this year. I'm flying in from the UK and picking up in NJ I want to cover Niagara Falls, then down thru the Smokey Mnts. Blue Ridge to Memphis, then on to New Orleans. Returning back thru Alabama Georgia, South & North Carolina's, Virginia, Delaware, to NJ

I don't fancy paying $130 a night so what's best a Good Sam card? a mix of Sites and Boondocking? How safe is it to just drive and then look for a site?

I guess Niagara would be best to reserve before I come, but do I need to reserve everything or can I just "wing it"?

Any help or advice would be most welcome.

    You might consider Harvest HOsts. You can stay for free or low cost for one night generally. But you are mostly boondocking, so no hookups. Wouldn't want to do it everyday as you would run your batteries down, but it would give you a break from campground fees. These are safer as they are on family farms, wineries, museums, etc.

    I haven't ever run into $130 fees. . . more in the $50-60 range, but in big touristy areas you might.
