We have used the following route in the past, starting from east of you in W. Long Branch:
Garden State parkway to northern end where it joins with the NY Thruway. East on NY Thruway over Tappan Zee Bridge to I 684 north to join with I84 (alternate is to take NY Thruway north to join with I84 near Newburgh). I84 to junction with I90 (Mass Turnpike) to I290 through Worchester to join with I495 around Boston which joins with I95 near the New Hampshire border. Just south of Portland, we take I295 to route 1 near Brunswick. Route 1 goes through a number of small quaint towns, but is a nice 2 lane that will take you to Rockland.
We have not stayed in Rockland, but have stayed several times at
Camden Hills State park just north of Camden.
