Headed to Arlington end of May

[popbreed]

Traveling to Arlington, Tx (Ranger/Yankee games) from NE OK down 69 to 75. Staying at the Arlington/Dallas KOA. 32' MH with a toad. Appreciate any routing suggestions.

Personally, I avoid the D-FW area like the plague when I am towing even though your KOA is a mile south of my high school. If I were doing your trip, I would get off US 75 at McKinney, take TX 121 to Grapevine, 360 to 303, and 303 to Cooper in Arlington. That allows you bypass Dallas completely and squeeze into Arlington from the north instead of the east. It used to be easier to get to Arlington on the D-FW Turnpike (now I-30), but now it's not worth it when towing due to the addition of a few million more people since the 1960s.

Keep in mind TX 121 to Grapevine is a toll road.

If you don't mind toll roads, stay on 75 till the George Bush (161) west and take it all the way to 303 in Arlington then 303. Less traffic and fewer connectors.

Teach,
I agree with your suggestion except I would stay on George Bush (161) and exit to I-20 West. 1-20 West to North 157 (Cooper). North on 157 provides you a right turn into the KOA entrance.
Pop,
If you have a OKLA toll tag it is accepted by NTTA.

I am at Treetops in Arlington just down the street from KOA. Avoid the entire area from
0630 to 0930 and from 1430 to 1930 during the week. Traffic is as bad as any US city.
The routing previously posted is good.

Completely agree with this.

Mind Jetjockey6's times posted it can be a nightmare during rush hours.

Even if you don't have a Pike Pass they will just send you a bill. Might be some of the best $ you'll spend. Well unless you enjoy root canals.
