Mt Rushmore-Yellowstone

[ShadDad]

New to RVing. Looking at a 2 week trip from Houston to Mt Rushmore and then to Yellowstone this summer. Any info or advice on routes, overnight stays, and fuel a availability when off the main roads would be appreciated. Also campground suggestions for each location.

I would also recommend the Rafter J for Mt Rushmore.

I stayed at Rafter J Bar Ranch Camping Resort at Mt Rushmore. It's one of my favorite RV Parks and it's right outside the entrance to Mt Rushmore. I drove over the Bighorn Range towing my FW and didn't have any problems. I stayed at a park in Cody that's within walking distance of the Cody Museum.

This is a very common request for information, so you can find out LOTS by doing a search. Almost all roads are "main roads", so no issues with gas, etc. Towns are a bit apart, though, so don't push until almost empty.
RESERVE campsites NOW for your destinations. Very popular areas. We did a drive through of both this past summer, on the way to the west coast, and while we found overnight places a day ahead, they would not be preferred if we really intended to stay a bit.
Not like the old days where you could just show up around 10-11 am and be pretty assured of getting a campsite.
