Colorado, I70 and 160 to 285 advice
Hello, Wondering if experienced drivers can tell us how the drive is through Colorado. We've pulled our travel trailer through mountainous areas before but we've never been to Colorado. We plan to go west on I 70 through Colorado en route to Utah. We'll spend a few days in Moab. Then we're heading to Mesa Verde national park. Afterward we are heading to Moraine park campground in Rocky Mountain national park and it looks like we'll be going 160 east to 285 north. Is there anything we should know about these roads? Is it appropriate to pull a trailer through these areas? Thanks.2.5KViews0likes5CommentsGlacier national park campgrounds
Looking for Glacier campground suggestions for next year please. I know part of the park is still closed this year. We have a 35 foot travel trailer. Full hook up preferred but if it's the right place, we can get by with just electricity. We'll be coming from Michigan. Not sure if we should stay on the east side or west of the park. Is it worth pulling over to the west side of the park? Scenery would be nice but so is convenience. We're open to all options. Thanks3.3KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Campground near Dinosaur State Park Connecticut

Starting to realize there truly is nothing anywhere near the area. We're coming from Michigan, so heading east. Looks like 80 to 84 through Pennsylvania and into Connecticut, then 691.398Views0likes0CommentsCampground near Dinosaur State Park Connecticut
Looking for a campground closest to Dinosaur state park in Connecticut just to sleep for one night. We have a 35 foot TT. Need electricity at least. We do not need any frills. We will be arriving from Michigan and leaving first thing in the morning. Pull through, FHU would be best but ease of location and on/off freeway is most important. A quick search showed no KOAs in the area, which is our usual quick stop for sleeping. We are not interested in Walmart or truck stops. Thanks1.2KViews0likes5CommentsPulling TT through Newport Rhode Island
We hope to travel on the east coast next summer and previous experience has taught us it's complicated with bridges/tunnels, etc. We would like to go from Dinosaur state park in Connecticut to Normandy Farms in Massachusetts but with stopping at the Breakers in Newport Rhode Island for a tour. Is it possible to pull a 35 foot travel trailer through Newport Rhode Island and into Massachusetts? Thanks765Views0likes3CommentsRe: Campsites directly on Lake Ontario in Canada or NY
camp-n-family wrote: The two nicest provincial parks on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario are Sandbanks and Presquile. Both can be tough to get into during summer months and usually need to be reserved 5 months in advance. See here for the park reservation site and more info. Thank you. We were considering NY as well but it appears our route will be better for a stay in Canada. I'll look into this. We'll need a Saturday night stay so I'll plan ahead.921Views0likes0CommentsCampsites directly on Lake Ontario in Canada or NY
We've camped directly on the beach on Lake Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Superior. Now we need Ontario. Does anyone have any suggestions for direct beach camping on Lake Ontario in either Canada or NY? This will be for at most 1 day/night. We have a 35foot TT and need at least electricity. Thanks.3.2KViews0likes17CommentsMi to Acadia and Bay of Fundy New Brunswick
Looking ahead to next year and hoping for suggestions. Traveling with 2 teenagers and an 11 year old in a 35 foot TT. We will have 16 days and can travel up to 650 miles per day. We're all seasoned travelers, this is our norm. We'll be leaving southeastern Michigan and heading to Acadia and the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. I'm looking for campground suggestions and must see places to visit in these places and en route. Top priority for the kids is to "eat lobster." I'd like to take them whale watching as well. We are nature lovers so hiking and natural elements interest us the most. We are not interested in visiting Montreal or Toronto en route. Niagara is only 4 hours from home so that's out as well. Any campgrounds recommendations are appreciated. We need electricity at least. We don't mind KOA and even value the amenities on occasion. Also, any advice of avoiding crowds in Acadia? Thanks1.3KViews0likes6Comments
