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...

There are some boondocking and dispersed camping spots available in the Green Mountain national forest in Vermont. How well you'd be able to do that with a group of varied people using travel trailers I cannot say. (For that matter, I haven't yet had any experience boondocking here myself.) Here's an unofficial but informative page with some details.
As was already mentioned, the Maine north woods offer rather more in the way of primitive camping in the middle of nowhere. Do be aware that there are vehicle and trailer length limits (more restrictive than on the public roads).
The Vermont state park campgrounds uniformly do not have hookups. They tend to be wooded with a little bit of separation between sites and are generally well-kept in my experience, but certainly not isolated wilderness camping (for ones which are accessible by vehicle). On the weekends, at least, you will have neighbors and probably would want to make reservations for a large group if not for an individual. Many of the state parks in surrounding states are also relatively primitive, though there are some with at least partial hookups.
Don't entirely overlook upstate New York for public campgrounds, either. They have some very nice state parks and DEC campgrounds (two separate governmental agencies).
