Brian,
The first place you camp should be your driveway.
Make sure that everybody understands that this is what you are doing, and a (ie) 4PM, the house will be locked. You can run an extension cord to the trailer, and a water hose if you choose, but that will be home for at least that night. If it is raining, that is even better.
As to where to go for your first excursion, I don't have any clue. When I did live in the megopolis (central North Jersey), I tent camped in places like Stoke's State. We now do avoid the places you are looking for, but never fear.
I am going to suggest that you get over to:RV Park Reviews
I am sure that what you want will be found in the radius you have proposed. Remember that radius covers a lot of eastern PA, all of NJ, NY south of Poughkeepsie and CT west of New Haven.
Why not more??
Because you are towing a new trailer for the first time. You will be a lot slower than you are expecting. Rushing is a great way to never get there.
Matt - now camps with grands....
Thanks. Will check the link you posted.
Yeah, I wasn't planning on going hours away on my first trip.:E We're thinking in the middle of the summer once we have had the TT a few months and gone a bunch of times local.
I am sure my DD of 9 will want to sleep in it the first day we get it. Not to sure about just running an 'extention cord' though. Probably going to install a dedicated 30a/10ga cable to a new receptical outside the house.
...you never know when the mother-in-law might show up. ;)
