Thru Dallas

Beverly - I grew up in Henderson and DW in Tyler. The traditional route to Amarillo was IH20 to LBJ-635 to IH35E to Denton then Wichita Falls etc. on US 287.

I have recently driven IH20 and it is a bumpy roller coaster like it has always been...the reward is a stop at Bucee’s in Terrill. 635 is no problem between 10 am and 3 pm and I have done it pulling the Monte. I think IH35E to Denton may have several construction zones I have not driven it with the RV however. My last trip to glacier was in 1994 in a Coleman pop up with 3 kids and a dog - so my campground reviews would be a bit out of date.

If you don’t want to drive thru Dallas you could follow US69 to Greenville then 380 to McKinney.

As long as you time your trip thru Dallas for mid-day and avoid rush hours you should be fine. It’s summer and school is out! My 30 mile commute into Austin is piece of cake in the summer with no public school traffic and 50,000 fewer tee-sips gone for summer break from t.u.
