Thank you to all for the replies. Some good thoughts here.
Yes, this is our first RV trip. I think based on the feedback and thinking about it, I am not going to tow. The rental car is an interesting idea, but installing/removing three car seats gets old after a while... especially in the back of a sedan.
I am leaning toward either finding a campsite with plenty to do or a walk/bike trail, or using the class C to get around a little bit.
At Knobels, we are at lake glory for a couple of days and they have a shuttle to the park, so that isn't a problem. Speaking of which, has anyone used the shuttle? How reliable is it?
I am thinking of going to watkins glen after that. The state park doesn't have any full hookups which we are looking for. There is a KOA down the road but we would have to drive our Class C in to town... but I think that is what we will do.
From watkins glen, I am trying to figure out where to go next. Lake george rv park up north of albany looks nice, but according to their website you need to book a full week in the summer... we are only looking for 2-3 nights. Old forge is also sold out (according to the website).
Any other recommendations of places around the finger lakes, rochester/syracuse, watertown, up state new york? Prefer a campground/resort with stuff to do for the kids.
Also keep in mind I am a first timer, is disconnecting the motorhome to take it somewhere and coming back later in the day a big hassle?
