I have no 1st hand experience yet with the campsites. I have read a few threads on this and other sites that have a decent description of them.
My first scouting trip into the area will be to see the campsites. My issue is, I can not decide if I will be taking our travel trailer or doing just the truck. Not sure my wife is completely sold on going back to roughing it yet. So I have that dilemma too.
I'll likely take my travel trailer, arrive late nite, setup base then head out in the morning. No keen on lugging RTT all over.
But, my son and I are ready to rough it again.
Your trail plan looks good.
How are you coming to the area ie. Interstate 80, route 45 etc.?
I'm coming from 80, from Jersey.
Is there a reason you are driving clean to Millheim to start?
From what I've heard this is the only major town in the area, so resupplying here. I could be wrong.
Are you set on an area to camp?
Likely north, near 80 so heading home should be easy and fast. I have not reserved any yet, but the larger ones definitely since I have a trailer and probably 3 more rigs with me. They will be in RTT. If larger I'll request for group camp site.
Does your route have to flow those directions or could it reverse etc. ?
The direction just put us closer to camp at the end of the trip. Everyone tired and less driving back to camp. I also read the view climbing up the dam is majestic. Lot So, you are starting way below then climbing up overlooking your route. But, I'm not set on direction, we're flexible.
Just asking cause I am just curious how you decided on the plan.
Thanks for sharing. I can not wait to get out there and have tires in the mid experience to help others with their questions.
