Car camping all over the US in my z

Steintrek · 04-08-2013, 10:03 AM

Next week I start a six-month road trip in my 2011 silver manual 370z. Most of it is car camping. Any recommendations for favorite parks to camp at? I am going to all lower 48 states. Steintrek | My dream trip | April 16 departure | @steintrek

Cool. Take lots of picks.

Steintrek · 04-08-2013, 10:09 AM

Pics, video, blogging. I just hope I don't miss the country because I'm always looking at my iPhone

Nice and a very gutsy move 'cause you quit your job for this (Driving my z all over USA).

Definitely post pictures/videos for us to enjoy.

Have ya got your route laid out yet ...

Ya should try to meet up with other Z members along the way for a breakfast,lunch or dinner and maybe a stay over to save cash

Sound like fun! White mountain New Hampshire, Acadia park Maine are great places to Camp. Don't forget spray some "Off!" to your z too.

Maine will be my last state. I wanted to save a little something special for last and have never done Acadia. So after I do the whole US I will slingshot right to the vacation state. I don't want to put the nose bra on the car so I guess it's sealants?

I've got the first leg laid out. Although I live in NYC I want to start in West Virginia then to Kentucky then Tennessee and Alabama and head back north eventually to Indiana and Ohio. Good idea on meeting the other Z owners, one of the reasons I just joined the forum. By the time of my second leg I'll need good recommendations for places for maintenance.

Maybe its just me, but car camping is so impractical and uncomfortable.. Especially in a Z. The road trip and driving sounds excellent, though i would rather sleep in a comfy bed at night, even in a cheapo motel.

But have a safe trip, and please take picutures.

Steintrek · 04-08-2013, 02:39 PM

Oh, there will be motels plenty. But I also have a really small tent, blowup air mattress, sleeping bag, and portable cooker. I'm 6'2, no way to sleep in the Z.

IMHO......My idea of camping is The Holiday Inn.
Best Wishes,

If you are going to be in Tennessee you might as well go to Arkansas and Missouri for the Ozarks. I could give you a ton of places to go in the Ozarks that have great camping.
