Itinerary for part one of our trip
The first leg of our trip was getting from North Carolina to North Dakota. We did mostly 2-3 night stays in each location and kept our driving time to 1-4 hours between each campground. We’ve used RVLife to help plan the trip! They have a free app anyone can use but we paid for the year subscription to have access to everything. They give RV safe routes between each stop you make. You can search TONS of campgrounds and get reviews, features, tips, etc. You can create “trips” and it will keep track of each campground you book, how many nights there, how much you spent, all the things! Super helpful!!

Some of the stops in this itinerary were just to help break up the driving while others were planned with specific things we wanted to see on this leg of the trip. Most were not planned out more than a week in advance. We planned where to stop as we went.
