Xforce 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 With a couple of weeks to get things organozed my DW is getting anxious for me to start planning our stops enrout to Fort Wilderness. We are not rushing down and will break each day into 6-8 hours on the road. These are rough, but within an hour either side is where I imaginge us doing stops.1st night off I79 in the Pittsburgh, PA area2nd night off I77 in the Charlotte, NC area3rd night off I95 in the Jacksonville FL areaAny recommended campgrounds in these general areas that you can share would be appreciated.

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Can't help you with the first two stops but we thought Flamingo Lake in Jacksonville was a nice park. We spent 3 nights there last year. It's just a few miles West of 95 on 295Flamingo Lake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easy on/off access from I77 and will work just fine as an overnight stop Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We always go just a bit past Jacksonville to St. Augustine and stay at North Beach Camp Resort. Very nice place!From there it's a quick two-hour hop to the Fort!

Xforce 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks for all the suggestions! It looks like we have 2 of the 3 nights taken care of. Thanks CDNCruiser for the route tip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
