Anywhere between Oklahoma City and Chattanooga? I love Chilhowee in TN. It is great tent camping 7 miles off the main road and no city lights. I'm looking to go camping with some friends. We will be driving in from different areas of the country. Not looking for back country camping, just something far off the road and away from town.

Thanks!



Answer
Check out Tims Ford State Park in Southern Middle TN at http://www.tn.gov/environment/parks/TimsFord/index.shtml
It is away from town on a beautiful lake. There is tent camping and cabins, boating, fishing, a Jack Nicklaus golf course, and lots of other activities. Nearby (but not too close) you can visit Jack Daniel's and George Dickel distilleries, Walking Horse Museum, Beechcraft Heritage Museum, Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park, and lots of antique shops.

What are some good vacation destinations on the east coast?

My boyfriend and I are 19, and we don't have that much money to spend on an expensive vacation. We've already been to Myrtle Beach SC and Pigeon Forge TN way too many times. Anybody have any ideas?


Answer
This isn't my normal recommendation, but for a couple your age, I recommend camping on the Outer Banks.

Pitch a tent on Cape Hatteras and you'll not only have a cheap vacation, but it will be a lifetime memory. It's not as bad as you might think, and laying on the sand looking up at the stars and sleeping to the sound of the waves crashing is crazy romantic and soothing at the same time.

During the day you can visit the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, ride a ferry or two, play some putt-putt or bumper boats. You can also rent a dune buggy and tear up and down the beaches. Visit the horses up in Corolla, and one of the bars in the Nags Head / Kitty Hawk area. Check out the Lost Colony, Elizabethan Gardens and the Wright Brothers memorial.

I know it's not action packed, but if you want quality time with someone you love, it is perfect.
