Any suggestions for visiting the Adirondacks?
I live in Miami, traveling in a 24ft Class C rv, diesel engine, pulling a small car. Looking for any info on where to stay and what I must see. Campsites can be private or state parks. I can travel in...

Update! I forgot about the bugs.
In my early days, I did lots of trout fishing throughout the Adirondacks, and the bugs, .... oh the bugs!!! Make sure you get the best insect repellent possible, as the bugs can be a nightmare. If you are not afraid to use DEET, use it. We used Deep Woods Off for years until I developed my own organic insect repellent. If possible keep all areas covered with long sleeves, long pants, hats, etc. The bugs were so bad that the "no see ums" used to bite our eyelashes, but then again, we were deep into the forests.
When traveling up the mountains, take warm clothes with you, as the temperatures at the peaks can be substantially colder then the base.
Keep a sense of humor, smile, and have fun.
