Travel Restrictions?

[Boehler]

My wife and I are snowbirds and plan to return to northern Ohio on I-75 from our stay in Inglis, FL. I've heard rumors concerning state borders being closed. Does anyone know the real situation (especially Tennessee and Kentucky)?

As far as Kentucky goes if you're just passing through there isn't a restriction. If you're visiting from out of state you have to self quarantine for 14 days. It looks like the rest of the states you will be going through are the same, not sure on the self quarantine in the other states.
The only concern I see is if you have to stop overnight, you might be limited to rest area or Walmart parking lot. Several years ago we pulled from Ft Meyers beach and stopped for a few days at Lookout Mountain/Chattanooga West Koa. They are currently open and on the Georgia line, its actually in Georgia. The next Koa up the road in Tennessee is closed.

Hope this helps

Here is a good link for the USA.

I forget if they link to the states.

Thanks guys,
We have a paid reservation at KOA Chattanooga North/ Cleveland TN KOA. I'll call them to see if things have changed.

I looked at their site again and it looks like the rv sites are open but lodging and tent camping are suspended.

I have not heard of any border "closures" and went between GA and SC yesterday. The only thing I have seen or heard is Florida checkpoints trying to stop people from up north coming in. I'm sure you will have no issues going south to north. If you were going the other way that may be a concern. I would also call the camp sites you plan on stopping at to make sure they are open. I know some in Florida have been closed but it may be for tent camping only, don't know the exact details
Georgia starts a "stay at home" order tonight but doubt you would be stopped pulling a camper. They just don't want people out driving around for no good reason.
