2WD camping... where to go

[Grumpy's Travels]

Hey guys/gals,
We are just starting out with this Overland camping. Currently using a 2003 Yukon XL 2WD (shopping 4x4). Have searched but what I'm looking for does not come up. We are looking for really nice campsites with scenic views, and fairly easy routes that a 2WD can get to. Is there something in the Gaia GPS that will tell me that? I don't mind the reading and learning, we're just not savvy to searching these forums.

thanks

Go Check out Rally Point to get connected with locals and see what trail runs they are planning. Check out websites like trailsoffroad.com to see if they list anything near you. 2wd should not be a problem for a lot of areas.

Yeah I have been looking and not much luck either. Glad I'm not the only one!

Another great idea @grumpy1056 (using the map to find spots)! I quite often pore over MVUM and forest service maps looking for camp spots, roads to follow, etc. Have found a lot of great stuff that way.

Yes, I've been doing that as well! I'm thinking that if I see something of potential, I can call the Rangers and ask how the roads are.

I like to use satellite view once I think I have found a route. Can help a bit.
