Lake Placid and Boston

While you are waiting do a search in the RV Parks section for the two locations.

For Lake Placid I always stay at the North Pole Resort, great campground and great family that owns the campground.

+1 for North Pole, we prefer the 100 Acre Woods area. It's in Wilmington, near Whiteface Mt and about 8 miles from Lake Placid. There's also a KOA there but we've never stayed at it. There are several State campgrounds nearby but they don't have any hookups.
We stayed at Cape Anne campground in Gloucester (so-so) and took the train to Boston. Last summer we did a night at Boston Minuteman on our way to Maine and we'd stay there again if we wanted to do the area.

North Pole is nice, So is the KOA in Wilmington
As far as Boston I have heard that Normandy Farms is really nice.

Normandy Farms is about 25 miles from Boston and close to a commuter rail station. It's a large RV park with lots of amenities. For a more wooded experience, try Boston Minute Man in Littleton. Once again close to a commuter rail station for access to Boston.

Whatever you do, don't drive you RV into Boston.

Buttonwood Bay RV Resort just a few miles north of Lake Placid. RV sites on a lakeside property, with 2 pools, a cafe, hiking trails & a boat ramp.

Have never heard of Buttonwood Bay in NY by Lake Placid, NY. Back to the North Pole Resort, if you have a big rig the 100 Acres side is nice, a little quieter.

Geo(graphy?)Boy. Read the title and the post. Not one word about NY. Is Boston in NY? OP is from Canada. Nothing, absolutely nothing, in the post or about the poster to connect Lake Placid to NY. I know of at least 7 states that have a Lake Placid within their borders. Apparently some need to broaden their horizons :)

Well, if we're splitting hairs here, I'll bet the every lake in the world is placid at some point in time. ;)

Not splitting hairs at all. Just wondering why responders have been assuming that the Boston being referred to is the one in Mass and why the assumption that the Lake Placid being referred to is in NY? Must be a northeastern thing.

Those in fly over country or here in the redneck south or on the left coast might assume differently :) That's not splitting hairs. It's a big country that spans far from the NE.

As to placid lakes - I sure would agree with your statement. In addition to the the many lakes in this country that are named "Lake Placid", there are dozens more named "Placid Lake.":)
