Need Ideas for East Coast Camping between Maine & Carolina's

[telorb]

Need ideas for East Coast camping. Preferably between Maine and the Carolina's. Have kids 15, 13 and 11 years. Like to bike, swim, (beginner Kayak) rental, hike (but not too long distances). Maybe water park/ amusement park, caverns or interesting factory/other tours. Something to keep them busy. Campground needs to have pool/pools and poss. boat rental, etc. I need nice campground showers/bathrooms! I appreciate any ideas! Thanks! -Tammy

Lots of great suggestions, we just came back from Lake George RV Park. Great to see Danforth Bay mentioned, we are seasonals there.

With the ages of your kids, Frontiertown will be a home run. So long as you all like a busy and active rv park.

Thank you for all of your suggestions! I'm going to look into them. We've also been to Lake George RV Resort and loved! Great shows!

Have traveled to everyone, some multiple times with our daughter and her friends and would go back to all of them. We went to Pirateland for 5 spring breaks and Cherrystone for 5 summer vacations. Great cgs'!

That's an easy one, Frontiertown in Ocean City Maryland will keep your three kids busy. Plenty to do in the rv park and plenty to in and around Ocean City. You will all have a blast.

Other good choices would be Cape May, New Jersey, Williamsburg/Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

How far inland does the East Coast extend in your estimation?

Around my area: the city of Burlington, VT runs a pretty decent campground at North Beach. This is a popular swimming beach on Lake Champlain, and a nice long bike trail runs through it. This bike trail goes the short distance to downtown Burlington, and up towards the Lake Champlain islands, which are not bad biking either. There are some fine attractions and hikes in the general area. The Shelburne museum is fantastic and eclectic. I like hiking Camel's Hump, which has a spectacular panoramic view from the top on a clear day, but it might be a longer and more strenuous hike than you'd be interested in. Many other hikes (of varying difficulties) are in the area.

Lake Champlain isn't precisely the east coast; but depending on what route you're taking, it may not be far out of the way.

Knoebels amusement park and HersheyPark (both in PA) have campgrounds associated with them and are very fun amusement parks. Again, neither are precisely coastal.
