Acadia National Park Maine.
Ditto Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville. We like River Plantation RV Park in Sevierville.
Also a bit over 1000 miles is Branson Missouri or Hot Springs Arkansas. Lots of caverns and the diamond mine in Arkansas. Petit Jean Mountain is beautiful.

Is it too far to Cedar Point, OH the roller coaster capital of the world?

Upper NY State .... Ausable Chasm, Lake George, Adirondacks

You didn't say if you are looking for someplace to park for 10 days, or looking to do more of a travel vacation, but one area to look at is the Smokey Mountains, there is lots to do/see there.

Head down to NC and there is the Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC...very cool to tour the place. Asheville itself is a real artsy town so fun to look around. Head West to Franklin NC and they have the highest concentration of gemstones (rubies, sapphires, emeralds, etc) and a ton of places where you mine your own. You pay for a bucket of dirt and use their sluice to pan for gemstones. Reasonable cost and a lot of fun!

Now you are right on the border of Great Smokey Mountain Nat Park. You can camp in the park if you want to do the hiking/fishing/nature thing, or just drive through. Just on the other side is Pidgeon Forge (home of Dollywood) and Gatlinburg, and there is plenty to do/see there.

That's one loop.

Another idea is to head up to Elkhart IN to see the RV Hall of Fame. Very interesting, they have lots of RVs of all different vintages set up that you can walk through, open the cabinets in, etc. Also there are a number of RV factories that give tours. We have a book titled "Watch it Made in the USA" that was a directory of all the factory tours in the US if you like that kind of thing.

Good place to stop on the way is the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland OH. Kids will love it if you raised them right listening to Classic Rock LOL.

That's another loop.

A third idea would be Vermont, Ben and Jerry's and the White Mountains. See a moose. Stop in Woodstock NY for some 60's memorabilia....

This and also Amish Country in Ohio and Indiana less than 400 miles from you.

Teens love to meet the Amish and the food appeals to them as well. Tons to do. Lehman's Store is also appealing to our teen grandchildren. They go camping just to visit there.
