This trip is more accurately a marathon consisting on 3 trips. First is about 350 miles then another for ~ 350 miles then final trip ~150 miles
Where you're driving is flat as a pancake, so your only real enemies on this trip are cold and maybe wind. I've broken down your trip into three separate Google maps trips. Any leg that pushes past 60 miles in the cold, I would find an alternate. You need buffers, but more importantly, for best time management during the trip, you want to start at 100% at the beginning of each trip and that should be your longest leg. Then, you'll only charge to 80-90% for the subsequent legs.
NOTE: Most public charging is 208 volts, and will slow your charge rate. Campgrounds with NEMA 14-50R "50 amp service" will be 240 volts, but it's not uncommon to have much lower voltage. Measure the voltage under load every time to ensure you have a good plug. Never walk away from a campground charge sessions until you've ensured that the breaker won't pop after 5-10 minutes.

The new 2013 LEAF with optional 27.5 amp charger will be about 6.6kW at 240 volts. I don't know if its been measured at 200 or 208 volts yet to see if it increases to 30 amps. You can't pull 27.5 - 30 amps continuous from a typical NEMA 10-30 or 14-30 dryer plug, or you will likely pop the breaker.
You need an EVSE that can be set to 24 amps for dryers.
