Overnight stop in CT, NY, or NJ? Suggestions needed.

We are looking for a campground for an overnight stop in July anywhere along the New Jersey turnpike, New Jersey 287 north to New York 87 to Connecticut 84 to Hartford area. We are flexible about where we can stop along this area. Just looking for safe, quiet overnight stop with electric. We will be in a 34 foot fifth wheel and dually pickup and are headed to Maine. Will also need an overnight stop on our return from Maine. Can anyone recommend a good place to camp for one night along this route?

    Depending on when you arrive in New Jersey and how you feel about KOAs, there is a KOA off Route 295, Exit 18. It is listed as Philadelphia South but it is in New Jersey. You would take Rt. 295 north from the Delaware Memorial Bridge rather than the N.J. Turnpike. There are also a few campgrounds in the Jackson area near Rt. 195 in central New Jersey, but they are farther off your route if you are just looking for an overnight stop. You won't find anything suitable in North Jersey.
