April / May trip. Campsite availability?

End of April and still snow? Or in Pennsylvania etc? Interesting as we've not seen this yet! Cool temps yes and that's a given, but I question snow on roads other than in some of the very high northern western mountain passes perhaps.

The seasonal averages charts show mid 60's F day time and mid 40's F at night in Lower Michigan. Exactly what we see in spring at home in Lower Michigan. The State Parks CG's open between April 1st and the 15th as do most other CG's and the tourist season is happening already. Mid 50's F daytime and about 40 F at night in the Upper Peninsula close to the Canadian Border. True that it would be warmer to the south but already very hot in some areas. Maybe not so far south with the few things to see?

Surely does depend on what the OP's party of 4 wants to see on their trip and only they know. The route going south to S.C. nad Florida from New York and across to the west to San Antonio and then The Grand canyon and up to San Francisco sure does add a lot of extra miles to cover in those 19 days and if they are driving the RV back to New York which the OP doesn't tell us, it would be about 7,000 miles.

I wonder if he's renting an RV for a one way trip and then flying back to New York? That would be closer to 4,000 miles but a very expensive way for the 19 day trip for the one way rental and flying back for 4. Maybe he can fill in the blank details?
