Thanks for the great suggestions. 🙂

The 2 areas I have not yet found good camping sites yet are after I leave Rocky Point Campground Rd, Santa Rosa, NM and am heading east/northeast on 40/44/55 up to Chicago – I would like to stay about 3 nights along those 1,200 miles…

1st night near Elk City OK (320 miles that day to there) – needing suggestions for camping or boondocking near here. Not on a busy road, but not 40 miles off the freeway either. 🙂

2nd night near Joplin, MO (360 miles that day, to around there) (same parameters as the previous night)

3rd night I’ll likely stay at Sangchris Lake State Park – looks very good.

4th nite: arrive in Chicago area.

So any campground suggestions along that route for nights 1 +2?

I’d like to go this way as I have never been to that part of the world at all, plus it is the most direct route to Chicago.

Thanks!
