Watkins Glen NY
Spent 3 days at Clute Park in VofWG right at the base of Seneca Lake. Nights were a little chilly, but the days were clear and sunny. We were here last year and we stayed at the KOA. Clute Park is nicer and more convenient to downtown Watkins Glen. There's a Walmart within walking distance and the park across the street is great for picnics and the kiddies. Clute is a mix of seasonals and transients, and there were a number of large class As in the transient pull through areas. The staff is friendly and the park is kept clean and manicured.
The only issue we had was a rental car. We're trying toadless for a while to see if we can make it work. Don't bother commenting about whether or not we need a toad. I learn most everything the hard way.
Anyway, the closest Enterprise is 20 miles away in Horseheads. I had a car reserved for a day of winery hopping, and planned to take a cab to the rental location and drop it off on the way out by having the DW drive it back and I'd follow in the rig. However, we came through Horseheads on the way here and it's really too far away for that plan so we canceled the rental.
Another option is a wine tour limo for less than the cost of a cab ride and car rental. The added benefit of this is that you don't need to worry about how much wine you "sample".
Our solution was to hit a few wineries on the way to our next stop - Niagara. The preferred route goes right up Rt 14, which is where most of the vineyards are anyway. No sampling for me.
Didn't really need 3 days here. We should have done 2 here and 3 in Niagara (where, BTW, Enterprise will pick you up at Branches of Niagara campground).
