Hello fellow members.
I wanted to seek input from you about a trip we are taking next summer at the beginning of August for 14-16 days more or less, with extended family. We will be a total of 8 or may be 11 people with two 6-7 year olds and a senior citizen. It will not be a moto trip. Instead we will be travelling in our Vw campers, a 2003 Eurovan and a 1984 Vanagon from Chicago.
We do not want to stay in hotels/motels if we can avoid it. Once we get to WY/MT from Chicago we would like to establish a "base camp" to see Yellowstone for may be 3-4 days (coming in through the Beartooth highway). One to see Glacier for 1-2 days and the last one near Banff to go all the way up to Jasper. We would like to stay in campgrounds with cabins or in individual cabins/country houses, if possible large enough to accommodate everybody or if not possible getting 2-3 cabins/places together. An occassional sleep in the vans for those so inclined would be OK, but given the diverse composition of our party, roughing it, is not the way to go.
If you have any suggestions about places that I could look up to plan our stay and make reservations for our trip base camps, I would be grateful to get them. Any other ideas/suggestions about the trip are also welcome.
Thank you all.
Eduardo.
