Northeast campground

Hi All,

Due to a schedule change we are just now trying to make a camping reservation for mid-August. We are in Connecticut and we have a week off.

We have a hybrid and, ideally, we'd like to find a place with full hookups, a pool, wifi, cable. We're fine with a pump out service if need be, but we don't want to deal with breaking down to dump the black and grey.

Yes, I know we'll be lucky to find anything so far into the season.

We started looking in the Finger Lakes area, but have not found the combination we're for. The Watkins Glen KOA would be good, but no vacancies.

Any ideas? Vermont might be an idea. Or Pennsylvania. We like natural areas to explore, and local bike trails are good too.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Trying to pick through every campground is getting old fast.

    How about Danforth Bay Camping Resort in Freedom New Hampshire? It's an excellent rv park with plenty to do within the park and in the area as well.

    Check rvparky.com

    Has a nice map with CGs on it and tells you what amenities they have and approx cost per night.

    I just looked at it again today. It has a LOT MORE info than when I tried it last.

    Is Maine within reach for you? If so, take a look at Acadia park... campgrounds within it (most campgrounds in the park are no hookups, double check on that), and private ones around it. There may well be last minute openings.

    If you've never been to Acadia, you can easily spend a week hiking and biking there.

    Normandy Farms has pool, WiFi, cable etc, but not exactly in the middle of nature.

    How about Letchworth state park, NY

    Check out the ridge campground, mount morris,ny. Should have W/E sites available. I am almost certain they have honey wagon service too.

    Check out their reviews on Rv parkreviews.com

    Ausable Chasm has a lot to see and do in the area. The campground doesn't have cable but we pick up 18 or 19 channels over air.
