June 2018 New England Trip

My husband and I are planning a month-long trip through New England with our bumper pull trailer this June. We are new to camping with a travel trailer, and we've never been to New England. I would love any ideas and suggestions in regard to:

1. Which state to start in and continuing route
2. Good places to see/stop
3. Good campgrounds
4. How long we should allow for each place

We plan to take our bikes and do a lot of hiking. We are also interested in history, so we hope to include that in our trip as well. We will begin our trip in Oklahoma and try to make it to New England fairly quickly, driving approx. 8 hours the first days in order to get there soon.

Thanks!

    Reservations can be a must and time is late to be getting them in some very popular areas. We did a Canadian Maritime trip last year and were advised, rightly so, to get reservations early for pre-trip and post caravan. Arrived NE in mid- June and returned to NE in late August, Never saw an empty campsite. Hoping you have a wonderful trip!!

    See if you can work these two stops into your initerary

    VT: Winhall Brook COE Scenic Rail Trail goes through campground to connecting hiking trails. South Londonderry VT and general area has lots of country charm that you would expect from VT

    CT: West Thompson Lake COE Air Line Rail Trail is down the street from campground, hiking trails from campground to around lake. Just a nice place to enjoy nature.

    Book NOW if you want any hope of a W/E site https://www.recreation.gov

    Lots of good advice on this thread, enjoy you trip to NE and safe travels!
