Hemet, CA to Klamath River RV Park, CA

[Baja_Man]

Considering this family trip this summer.

What is best and safest route for this trip. Would I be crossing GG Bridge (which would be great!)?

Would like to split trip into two days. First stop would be midway.

What is best place to stay at midway point (appears to be Tracy, Livermore, Dublin)?

Trip is approximately 12.5 hours/800 according to G-Maps.

Thanks!

“Best route” has different meanings. Best route is 5, 20, 101. Best bay area route is 5, 580, 680, 780, 80 37 (a lot of traffic use Lakeville Hwy through Petaluma), 101. Best SF route (midday only) is 5, 152, 101, 280, 1 (19th Ave through SF, about 7 miles), use center or right lane), 101. No GG north bound toll. There is a view area on the north side of the GG if you can find a parking spot. I’ve taken this route many times with 42’ MH and toad. Never take 101 through SF.

If you are going up the 101, it will take more than 14 hours. The 5 and 99 are quicker, but boring, until you pass Sacramento. There are a couple of RV parks around Fresno that RV situated right next to the river. Lastly, I might turn that into a 3 day drive if I had children with me.

What size of RV are you driving? Have you ever driven through S.F. and gone across the Golden Gate bridge??

Do what I just did and use Google Maps to give you a route. Been all over the USA with Google maps.
