Amarillo.....Rt. 66 RV Ranch
Ft. Smith......Fort Smith/Alma RV Park
Memphis area is big. lots of choices there. If you don't mind going south of Memphis about 15 to 20 miles, EZ Daze RV Park in Southaven, MS is a nice one. Another option is the Agricenter RV campground....it's a bit south and East of Memphis, and located in Shelby Farms Park
The EZ Daze in Southaven is right next to a very large RV dealership....Southaven RV....that is where we bought our GD. Momentum back in early 2019.....just in case you need something RV related.Last edited by xrated; 01-22-2023 at 03:06 PM.

I have used RV Trip Wizard to plan our last few (very long) trips. It's a subscription app, but well worth every penny in my opinion. The user enters parameters for the RV, minimum, maximum, and target driving ranges for each day's drive, and maps out routes that are RV appropriate. You can record your reservation information in it, as well.

For travel in mountainous regions, I also use The Mountain Directory (digital copy on my laptop).

We stayed at Fort Amarillo RV Resort, sufficiently roomy pull through sites, easy off and easy on to I40. Just at the edge of the city so any shopping needed is nearby.

+1 for RV Trip Wizard, great resource and worth the price for trip planning.
If you end up making it further east than Amarillo but not as far as OK City, Wanderlust RV park in Weatherford, OK was a great full hook up CG we stayed at on the way home from the ABQ Balloon Fiesta.2022 GMC Sierra 3500 AT4, CC, SRW, 6.6L L8T Gas, MYD 6-Speed

+2 for the RV Trip Wizard. Been using it now a few years on both our laptop and iPhones. My navigator especially likes the printed turn by turn you can get by exporting your trip into excel. You can also export to your GPS. I have to do some editing in excel to get everything we want fitted onto single landscape pages, we don't use everything it exports like GPS coordinates. We also like the iPhone RV Life app which is a GPS app and you get access to your Trip Wizard saved trips. It will also keep track of your trips estimated fuel and camping expenses.
Now Trip Wizard doesn't always know about every fuel station (Buc-ee's, Roadrunner fuel stations for example) or campground or any Harvest Host / Boondocking sites, but you can always enter a specific address into RV Trip Wizard. We also use other apps like RV Parky, Allstays and Harvest Hosts for example to get the specific address, and then type it into RV Trip Wizard and it plots the route for us.Steve & Tami Cass - Escapee's, FMCA Members, Texas Fulltimers Since July 2020

RV Trip Wizard does a pretty good job, but I still prefer Basecamp. But I do use Camp Reviews, which is part of RV Trip Wizard, to help find RV resorts and such. I think part of my issue with RV Trip Wizard is the online-only access, and the very cluttered screen when trying to suss out a route.
