Summer trip from Pennsylvania to Maine

This will be our first RV trip. Taking family (4 kids) from Pa to Me and I am looking for advice on where to stay. Thinking about stopping in New York, NH, and Maine. Trying to keep travel to about 5 hours or less per day. Then do a similar route on the way home. Looking for nice campgrounds with activities there or very close as we cannot tow a car for small trips. Something scenic where we can hike and our be on the water. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sorry but it's really really REALLY late in the reserving season for the most popular water spots and parks in those states. Was just chatting with a cyber acquaintance about her booking a summer reservation for Acadia in ME 6 months back; I booked my regular kiddo summer trip in CT 11 months ago when the reservation window opened. Was one day late and missed getting my favorite spots.

This is not to stop you from going; just to help tailor your expectations.

For NYS for instance look for parks or spots that aren't full hookups but are still near areas you'd enjoy hiking and viewing attractions. I'm rather fond of Taughannock Falls ( partial hook up but has dump station), the nearby Buttermilk Falls(no dump station) and Robert Treman (full hook up avail) State parks for camping and beautiful surroundings. It's surrounding region is close to Watkins Glen, the Finger Lakes and other well known spots.

HTH and have fun!
