Any suggestions for visiting the Adirondacks?
I live in Miami, traveling in a 24ft Class C rv, diesel engine, pulling a small car. Looking for any info on where to stay and what I must see. Campsites can be private or state parks. I can travel in...

The most severe white water would probably be rafting the Hudson river. Can't recommend any outfitter though.
I don't believe any State campground has full hookups. Our favorite private cg is North Pole Resorts (100 Acre Woods side) in Wilmington, 8 miles from Lake Placid. Right down the street is the toll road to Whiteface Mt, or ride the chair lift up.
For hiking there are numerous trails in the region, from flat hikes to the High Peaks (over 4,000 ft.) The town of Keene on Rt 73 south of Lake Placid is where the die hard backpackers hang out. The easiest High Peak to access would be Cascade Mt south of Lake Placid.
Leaving in May? Black fly season will be in full swing. Nasty little critters, I use 30% DEET and hope my liver survives. I figure they're done at the beginning of July.
For a first trip to the area I'll suggest the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake to get a sense of the local history. Second would be the Wild Center in Tupper Lake. Of course there are the Olympic venues in Lake Placid.
