82 W of Sea Rim State Park in TX was closed has that changed. Along that route limited campgrounds. In a class B we have stayed on the beach near Holly Beach. Also a Parish camp ground at Cameron.

Well, you get to ride the ferry at Galveston. A toll bridge to get onto Galveston Island. Bolivar Penninsula is a OK ride. Lots to see and do along the way. Seawolf Park in Galveston - home to a submarine WWII type and a Destroyer Escort for tours.  We have been that way a couple of times to avoid the I 10 ride.

Just a couple of thoughts.

So have you gone down these hwy's? Where planing to go down Blue HWY no big deal about toll rd, but trying to avoid Houston also.

Thanks

In January 2015 we followed the route you are asking about.  The roads are fine 2 lane roads, little or no shoulders in LA.  We spend a few days at Galveston SP then Sea Rim SP.  Palmetto SP in LA is a nice place in Jan, but in spring, summer or fall there can be hordes of mosquitoes.   The area around Abbeyville and Lafayette is worth exploring.  Lots of great food and history.
