You guys are just the bomb! Thank you for the amazing recommendations! I have MUCH to research. We added Maine to the list since we haven't been (except a 30 hour round trip weekend to pick up a 1926 Old Town canoe to restore!). Eastern TN/Western NC still close to the top of the list. There's a nice looking (at least online) KOA in Cherokee NC. I'm now thinking Pigeon Forge might be too commercialized/kitschy/tourist-trappy. Same reason I loathe Ocean City, MD, but love Cape Henlopen State Park (and one night on the small Rehoboth boardwalk for the little guys). Myrtle Beach might be pushing it distance-wise...took us 10 hours a lifetime ago before kids and speeding in a car (so said the officer in Virginia)...with the moho, 2 wild little boys and a wild lab...might take quite a bit longer!
Thanks so much everyone!!! Off to research vacation spots...I mean WORK. Yes, work.
PS. those of you near MD...Tuckahoe State Park is AWESOME, has 30 amp service and quite a few big-rig friendly sites. Just made our 4th of July reservations. Easy drive to St. Mike's for the day.
