New to RV, looking for campground in NE
My family is renting a 32' Class C in August. We have never RV'ed but have always been interested. I am debating whether to tow our Minivan with the Class C, it says we can tow up to 5000 lbs. We woul...

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?
