We are leaving from St. Louis to Charleston, SC this coming Friday and are wondering the best route to take.
First trip out in our new to us DP and we have 4 days to get there.

I would like to get input on places to stay and possible things to see along the way.

Also looking for the best place to stay in the North Charleston area.

Thanks,
Jim

One thing I would avoid on your route is Louisville I-64/I-65. The Kennedy bridge is being worked on and traffic flow is SSSLLLOOOWWW. I live north of Louisville and will be leaving Friday also for Pigeon Forge,Tn., so I will go to Cinci then I-75 south. We haven't been to Charleston in 42 years so no help there. Have a safe trip.

Look into James Island County Park in Charleston. Do a Google search.

If we were making that trip our first stop would be Nashville, 300+ miles. The next overnight would be Asheville, NC (280+ miles) with a tour of Biltmore. And then finally Charleston, SC, 280+ miles. You can check RV park reviews for campgrounds in those locations. In Charleston we have used the Mt Pleasant KOA with good experiences twice.

Slightly out of your way, but very beautiful is Vogel SP in GA. Vogel is a very popular park and can be hard to get a spot, best to check before going. Close by is the tourist trapish town of Helen. A Swiss styled village worth the visit.


Camping in a Sportsmobile. How much better can it get?

2nd on James Island County Park. Maybe not near North Charleston but to me it is THE place to stay in the area.

There is a KOA off of I-26 above Charleston but we've never stayed there.
