Hi all, just picked up a nice 2014 camplite 6.8 to sit on our 2022 F350. My wife is not sure camping is for her so I'm looking for some good sites and advice on places to book or check out to get the family into it. We love being near water and want to avoid large busy campgrounds. Also LOVE state parks. Are there any sites I should check out or parks I should be sure not to miss? Just returned from a trip to the keys (hotel) and really liked the look of Bahia Honda State Park ... definitely looks like a special place. Any help getting started is much appreciated.

PS. we are near Niagara Falls and will start out on the East Coast and South East next winter. Thank you.

Sorry I have not read through the thread so much of what I'm going to say might of been already mentioned...

First off - Welcome to the wonderful world of Truck Camper camping! While the camper ought to keep the family warm+dry if the weather goes south while your on your trips, IDK if it includes a toilet or not (the little women usually like the indoor features) camping WITH a RV is surely easier to get "the other halfs" into then camping without.

Now for a bit of bad news... being it is March already you better getting surfing ONLINE and do it quickly!! Why? Because around where I live ALL campgrounds are booked solid 6 MONTHS OUT!!! Getting any kind of reservation on a weekend is nearly impossible!

Best of luck!
