    I'm planning a drive down to Florida in a month or so, pulling a
    pop-up.  I have the route all planned out and a trip map from AAA.
    Initially, I planned a couple of stopovers in motels,
    the first at Roanoke rapids on the NC border, and the second just
    on the Florida border.
    
    I have provisionally booked the motels, but I'm wondering if anyone can
    recommend campgrounds that they have used on the way down and back?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Colin

|     I've used thousands, well, maybe not that many...
    The ones that stand out in my mind:
    
    Cherry park, just outside of Washington, DC.  Pricey.
    SOB, South of the Border  NC/SC border.  Nice, clean, safe, cheap.
    KOA at the exit with King's Dominion.  I believe it's in Virgina.
    
    we also parked a lot in rest areas, but bing in a motorhome, we could
    get away with it..

    What do you mean by "get away with it". 
    I have not done any cross counrty with my pop-up or I would probably
    know this but is it illegal to kind of set up in a rest stop?

|     'get away with it' == safety first off.  2nd, the police have no idea
    where we pulled in for a short rest, or longer stop as we don't have to
    pop up to use.
    I have traveled to Calif via pop up before.  and sometimes we did raise
    for lunch, but never for any long period as it appears as a flag to any
    cop that enforces no camping regulations.  most rest areas these days 
    don't permit 'overnight camping'.
    shuchs, in our motorhome, we can take a shower enroute if we feel like
    it.  I don't recommend any kind of stove cooking.  but we have been
    known to microwave a cup of coffee.

|     Thanks for the recommendations.  As it happened I drove through and
    just took a one night stop in a motel on the outward and return
    journeys.  It went much faster than anticipated.
    
    Looks like there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from, so maybe
    I'll camp next time.
