Welcome to the most geographically diverse country in the world, the U.S.A.! This guide is written based off of a road trip that we took in late 2020. The full itinerary is a little over three weeks (23 days, 22 nights), starting and finishing in Orlando (where we were living at the time). The best part about the itinerary? It's a loop! Allowing you to start and finish wherever. This itinerary is 100% personalizable and as many stops can be added or removed as you'd like. This route offers some amazing places, including the beaches in Florida, the deserts of the southwest, and the coastlines of California. The most optimal time to take this road trip is during the summer as you'll find the best weather everywhere. But because we're mainly down south, you can take this road trip in the winter without too much trouble in the snow. This itinerary includes 15 states, nine National Parks, 6000+ miles, and all of the costs we incurred along the way. This itinerary also includes things to see, places to eats, and our favorite things in each location. This itinerary does not include overnight accommodation, so it is necessary to find hotels/airbnbs on your own.

Hi! We're Andrew and Brenna, currently living full-time in our Ram Promaster as we venture through the U.S. The southwest has found its place in our hearts due to the abundance of amazing locations to camp for FREE. There are thousands of acres of BLM and National Forest land that allow you to stay entirely free! The places in this guide are our can't-miss campsites, and we'll continue to update this guide whenever we find somewhere new. All of these spots can be found on iOverlander and can be accessed with a 2WD vehicle. Please remember to pack in and pack out so we can keep these areas clean and free!

Whether you're a visitor to the Centennial State, or a local who's ready to explore more, here is where you'll find the best towns to visit depending on your interests, and when to go!
