Recommendations Needed: NJ to DEL to DC to PA

In August 2014, we are planning to travel for 4 days from Little Silver NJ to Latrobe PA. 3 adults and 2 children (7 and 5).

We need recommendations for safe campgrounds to park.

Or can we just park on the side of the road and sleep when we are tired?

Thanks in advance for all your assistance.

  • We're flexible on our route. Don't want to drive more than 3 hours a day as want to explore where we are. However, thinking that it may be issue with an RV to get out and see things.

    Think there are a few RV parks that provide 'city shuttle services'.

    We prefer to stay in transient RV parks not mobile home courts with permanent residents.

    Does that help?
  • Look for cracker barrel restaurants if you need to pull over and sleep. We often use them with our kids (6&9) - they are quieter than a truck stop, easier than a campground if you're just need 4-5 hours so you can keep going, and they have the added benefit of awesome breakfast/dinner for when you wake up and the kids need to move a bit.

    If you want campgrounds to spend a day or two at, post your route, and I can recommend some PA ones.
  • Definitely do NOT plan on stopping wherever you feel like, as it is illegal in many areas and you could find your trip ruined very quickly. Try a campground website such as rvparkreviews.com to find campgrounds along the route you plan to follow.
