East coast camping

We are in the very early planning of a east coast camping trip.

This will be our first long trip after retiring.

Trip length will probably be 3 months.

We will probably start our journey in South Carolina and

hope to go all the way to Maine,

maybe Nova Scotia.

I have South and North Carolina covered.

After that, I am lost.

We would prefer to stay on the coastal route, not necessarily interstate travel.

Any ideas of coastal campgrounds and must see attractions?

We have never camped up the east coast farther than North Carolina.

Thanks!

My first thought is to try to get you away from your Neighborhood - "The East Coast" .

IMHO, your first trip should be to the Rockies - allowing you to see something "Different".

Having spent my life on either the Left Coast of the Right Coast, only seeing the Rockies as we traveled between the two (10-12 times) then later on just a few family trips or winter ski trips, I understand the draw to the Ocean (38 years of Reunions on the Beach) there is nothing like the Rockies (Having a son there is a pretty strong magnet). We have one (son) in Colorado with the 4 Granddaughters, so a little bias here.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but the energy required to do the Rockies is more than needed to relax on the Beach so I'd suggest you do it first. As you get into retirement the East Coast, will still be here, the traffic, the crowds, the Beach, all will be pretty much the same, easy and relaxing.

If by chance you still have the energy to - get up - Hike out - explore - see - touch - experience the Rockies I'd Do IT, NOW.

Guess I should stop, this is your post, just wanted to add to the Possibilities of a "First Retirement Trip"

Just a Humble suggestion,
