Planning 2017 trips(Northeast)

Would like to hear favorite campground suggestions anywhere in NJ,NY,PA,MD. So far on destination list.
Cape May
Assateague
Knoebels
Lake George
Traveling in 30' C with wifey, 14yo boy, 12yo girl.
  • For Cape May we have used Depot Travel park a couple of times. A short bike ride to the beach and in town attractions. As a heads up, they don't accept credit cards.

    For Assateague, we have always stayed at the National Seashore. Camping just over the dune from the ocean or on the bay side. No hookups, but the adjacent State Park has one loop with electric. Check for ticks after any hiking.

    The ponies like human food, but aren't tame.


    For the Lancaster area in PA, we like French Creek State Park. Nice lake with canoe rentals, lots of trails and the largest swimming pool we have ever seen. Campground has some sites with electric plus one loop with FHU. We have only been there in the Fall.
  • Jersey,

    I don't have a crampground suggestion, but I have a date for Assateague Island and Chincoteague. Be there around July 26 (2017) for the pony swim.

    I'm sure you will have to locate and reserve a space at any crampground in striking range right about now....
