Favorite Boondocking Spot in Northeast?
Hey folks I am very new to the RV world. I've owned a tent for the better part of my 43 year existence. We recently got a TT and would like to plan a week long excursion to a boon docking locatio...

Very few places in southern New England where you can truly "boondock" - which I would take to mean finding a logging road in the woods and pull off somewhere to camp.
Hopefully someone here with experience with northern New England will give advice.
A lot of state parks, though, that are "rustic" (no hookups) are around!
How much experience do you have "camping" at RV campgrounds? The way reservations work (or don't, lol!), hookups, septic, campground rules (both written and unwritten)?
One issue you may have is trying to get campsites for 6 campers (yours and 5 others if I am understanding you) at this late date. What will really open up your options is if you plan on camping from Sunday night until Friday morning, skipping the weekend. Most campgrounds have plenty of room during the week, but weekends can be busy.
Hammonassette State Park in Connecticut may have room for a bunch of campers during the week. Right on Long Island Sound. Majority of campsites have no hookups - some electric only sites might be available at the last minute. Campsites here are flat and really big.
A long trip you may find really cool is to drive up to Acadia in Maine. For there, you certainly need to make reservations early, but we love going there.
You've got lots of camping adventures ahead of you!
