Heading for the Ozarks - but where??

[impumalanga]

Hi there,

We are taking our Mobile Suites on its first 'long haul', and will be traveling with two other couples. We depart Chicago and are heading for the Ozarks........ but where should we go?? What are the 'must do' places to visit, incredible campsites or places to stop or simply eat!!

We are leaving mid-October, leaving on a Friday night -- returning a week later - Sunday, about ten days.

I didn't realize the Ozarks covered five states, amazing. And with our limited time, we think that we would like to stay more north (Missouri), stay a couple of nights - move, stay a couple of nights and move again.

Your ideas and thoughts are most welcomed - thanks in advance
