We're looking at doing a lake-oriented vacation in Maine this summer and have been looking at so many options that I've gotten lost. We're thinking lakes like Sebago and Long Lake, where there are reasonable sized towns and things to do nearby but we will also have easy access to a lake for swimming and kayaking, mostly. What campgrounds or other lakes/areas would you suggest? We've looked at Acres of Wildlife, Colonial Mast, and a few others. We're based in Mass so we can go further north if it's worth it. Thanks! ShawnRe: First Autumn trip to White Mountains - CG suggestionsAh, my bad. We're going 14-15 September (October trip is to the Fryeburg Fair). Good input so far, and thank you to everyone who has taken them time to respond. I guess what I'm asking is more along the lines of which campgrounds are more handy to the hiking and kayaking we'd like to do without having to drive too far to get there. Thanks very much! ShawnFirst Autumn trip to White Mountains - CG suggestionsHello! My wife, our 14 year old daughter, and I will be taking our first autumn trip to the White Mountains in NH in Oct and I'm hoping for some good recommendations on which campgrounds would be good. She has friends in Ashland, near Squam Lake, but being near them isn't really a priority. We're hoping to do the Mt W cog railway and some easy-to-moderate hiking. I'd like this weekend to be about being in the mountains rather than the outlet malls, so I'm thinking N. Conway isn't the No. 1 destination. Also, will it be too late to do some kayaking in the area? We hope to have our own kayaks by then but, if we don't, are there good rental places still open that late that you'd recommend? Any tips will be much appreciated! Many thanks! Shawn
