summer in north east

We are a retired couple, 66 & 56, going to summer (July-September) this year in the northeast. We have traveled most of the south and northwest for extended periods in our travel trailer but we've never traveled the northeast. We're thinking of starting in Maine, traveling east to Vermont, Toronto and northern NY, and then on through New England. Our thought is to use RV parks for our base, staying in each for a week or so and explore the surrounding area, at times tent camping. We're in the beginning stages of planning and would appreciate any suggestions, must see/do, cautions, etc you can offer. Specific questions are. Do RV parks allow one to be absent from trailer for 2 or so days? We are retired military. We are looking at military campgrounds but there do not seem to be many with RV spaces. Are there parks that offer discounts? Should we make advance reservations at each stop in order to ensure space for our trailer or can we wing it a bit? What would you recommend as a basic itinerary?

To each is own but in New England you can get a lot of ground coverage by using just one base camp before moving to the next area or state, but that's just my 2 cents.

As far as itinerary (in no particular order), Acadia, ME, Cape Cod, MA (off season if possible) Boston MA, White Mountains, NH , Newport RI.

And my personal favorite in VT for relaxing, hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming and enjoying nature, Winhall Brook COE

Also, RV Park Reviews is a great tool for reserching campgrounds

Good luck, have fun and safe travels! :C
