New England in June

When you go to Watkins Glen try to stay at Watkins Glen CITY park. It is called Clute Memorial Park & Campground. Very nice and right across the street from Seneca Lake. Nice beach there.

You are going to spend a lot of time driving and setting up. Each state could more than fill a two week trip. Look for things to see at a destination, then pick number of nights and remember the first is just arrive, setup and eat, then search campgrounds.

Put your destination locations into the map on this link and all of the campgrounds will show up on the map including the state, regional, and federal campgrounds. There will be links for each one to check them out including an RVparkreview link if there is one. Then come back here and ask about specific one's you are interested in.

You will also get a fast idea if there is anything - government or private where you are going to stop. Just move around the map to widen the area you are looking at. This map makes trip planning easy.

I presume you know that most New England state parks have no hookups. That being said, you have gotten some good suggestions of places to visit.Lived in VT for 40+ years before moving to MA to work at Sturbridge Village - mentioned above. VT state parks have no hookups, but most are beautiful. Some interesting places to visit in VT.: Quechee Gorge (State park right there), Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream in Waterbury, Shelburne Museum south of Burlington, and take ferry across Lake Champlain to NY.

In NH's White mountains you'll find a whole string of national forest CG's, probably 20 or 30 of them, take your pick. The Kancamagus Hwy (112) and 93 are worth doing.

State parks in Ma., Myles Standish (not on the beach) is just outside Plymouth and Salisbury Beach is north of Boston, it would be a good spot to check out Rockport, Gloucester and Newburyport.

In Ct., maybe Rocky Neck or Hammonasett SP if you want to go I95 along the shore, both have beaches. I prefer the Hammonasett beaches, but that's just me.

Fisherman's Memorial SP in RI is a good one too, also along the shore. Light house, a couple decent beaches nearby, Narragansett Peir, Newport is close by too.

We did a New England/Maine trip this past August and really enjoyed the trip. We left Virginia and stayed the first night in a state park in PA. None of the staff knew this park and said there were pull thru sites. Only one was a pull thru. Very difficult to get around and confusing signage. We tend to stay away from government run campgrounds as they are not up to par with the private ones. We have found a few that were good, most were not. We stayed almost a week at Association Island KOA on Lake Ontario and toured the Thousand Islands of NY. Loved the campground and it was beautiful. We went through VT via the Adirondacks and ended up staying a good few days near Lake George NY. The best pizza I have tasted came delivered to the campground and also the best restaurant we've every eaten in...check out Trip Advisor as I cannot recall the name. We stayed at a nice campground near Meredith NH. State park looking place and lots of easy pull thru and full hook up sites with a small lake. Meridith is on Lake Winnapausaka (spelling is horrible), place was wonderful. Then on to Maine. Bar Harbor is really touristy, but Acadia is lovely. On our way home we stopped and stayed in Rockport Maine and visited some of the smaller towns nearby which were really what Maine looks like on the brochures. Our last destination was in Sturbridge Village MA. Actually better than Williamsburg. Good luck on your trip.
