Camping on the east coast - Event Date: 28 Jul 2018 - 10 Aug 2018

Hi all and Happy New Year.

Jordan Lake has one of our favorite campgrounds. It is very near Raleigh. Look for Popular Point Campground. Site C037 is right on the water. We camp there at least twice per year.

Very tough question depending upon your interests.  We did a New York loop through Niagara Falls last summer.  We like museums, history, so for campgrounds we just picked the ones closest to our destinations.  Some of the places we hit were the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Lucille Ball Museum (and also visited the house she was born, lived in and cemetery) in Jamestown NY. Curtis Museum in Hammondsport (he should get credit for the first flight not the Wright Brothers!!!) Kodak Museum in Rochester.  And hunting for diamonds in Herkimer (their "diamonds" are in the Smithsonian) is a blast.  If you can borrow a copy of RVing for Dummies from your library there is a section on traveling through western NY with many more tips.  Also on the way north a great stop is Scranton PA.  there is the national railroad museum and at another site you can take a real coal train down to a closed coal mine.  Then there is a Houdini museum with a show if you are a fan of magic.  New York side of Niagara Falls is more park like.  If you have a passport you can walk across the bridge to the Canada side which has more of the tourist sites (Ripley's Believe it or Not, Guinness Book of Records etc etc).  Although we have done this trip numerous times, this recent visit with an RV was clearly the best way to travel. I recommend using Roadtrippers to plan your trip.  They can point out interesting places to stop along your route.  We found many oddball places using that website.  We like the seeing strange things that are off the beaten track.  The only way to survive getting through this cold winter is sitting in front of the computer planning our trips next summer.  Cannot wait.  Good luck on your trip to through the North East

+1 for North Carolina for BEST bbq  and the best red drum fishing

Ron, Be sure to checkout the little town of Pittsboro while you are at Jordan Lake. Great to walk around in the little shops.
