Winter Camping Close To New York?

Our camping season usually ends by Halloween because the local parks shut the water off at the campsites and close the bathrooms.

We are interested in trying a February trip when then kids are off for winter break. We do have the upgraded insulation and the heated, enclosed underbelly for the camper.

Any suggestions on places to go in February that would be at most about 6 hours from NYC? Is any park going to have running water where we could at least fill up the camper? If not, does any park at least have heated bathrooms/showers that remain open in the winter?

Have you thought about a "Ski Resort" - we used to do that with the kids and even when the snow was bad the kids had a blast - we would "check in" and be put in the out of the way spot in the parking lot, we would use the heated changing area and the n enjoy the fire place the comfy lounge areas and good food by the fire place.

When non skiing friends came they still had a blast - inside and out - not the thing you were looking for but might be fun.

Just a Thought,
