Despite driving a JKU with armor, gas is looking to be significantly cheaper than plane tickets the week before Christmas so I'm taking a road trip with my dog.

Hoping to find some overnight spots that aren't a rest stop or Walmart parking lot, and contemplating the merits of a more scenic route. Any ideas? I have always wanted to see Shenandoah but it looks like Skyline Drive is currently closed.

How far east are you planning to be when you move through the Southeast? The GAT would have some good options in Georgia, Uwharrie is a great stop in NC, and Ocala National Forest in Central Florida has plenty of options for dispersed camping and exploring.

Skyline is open always, except periods of inclement weather. What info do you have? Quick Google search yields nothing out of the ordinary
