Naples To Northville, Michigan Route

I am looking for a different route home from taking I 75 through Atlanta home. I talked to someone on a route taking I 75 to Ocala then highway 27 to finally get to I 65 then ?. Eventually either getting to I 94 then head East or some other direction home.Does anybody have the particular route and how is it?
  • The route on 19 is wonderful EXCEPT for limited campgrounds between Crystal River and I10. There are 2 in Perry, Florida, but 1 is NOT SAFE. More guard dogs in front of the park models that any place that I have ever seen.

    Enjoy your trip on either route. I prefer I 75 all the way to Ohio.

    Happy Trails!!!
  • Thanks Parrothead Mike for the route. I'll also look at the campground.
  • I would suggest heading north from Naples on I-75 to the US-98 exit and then west through Brooksville to US-19 north. Once you're north of Crystal River it's a nice clear shot up to I-10. Take I-10 west to US-231 and head north to Montgomery, AL. (There is a better route once you hit Montgomery by taking a right and then up a short distance to I-85 and then back west to I-65, but I can't remember the road name. It's the way I use though.) US-231 is a nice 4 lane road. It's a bit slow going around Dothan, AL using the by pass, but not so bad as Atlanta or Cincinnati by a long shot.

    Take I-65 as far north as you want. Since we go to SW Michigan we take I-69 north from Indianapolis.

    BTW, there's a nice campground right along US-231 north of Troy, AL a few miles called Deer Run RV Park. It's right on the west side of 231. It's a FHU park with cable and if you have a Good Sam card it's about $27/night.
  • Does anyone have a route through Alabama? I received a route through South Carolina. Thanks.
  • If your only concern is avoiding Atlanta....don't sweat it. Pick a lane and stick with it but stay somewhat left. The right lanes peter out from time to time.
  • Look at going I-77. Only about 50 miles longer than I-75. Will send route by pm.
