nyeinbuda Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Will be traveling to New England states mid-June through early July. First time camping trip to that region. Want flexibility to move about without being tied to a location. How difficult is it to find campsites- state parks, national parks, private parks - without a reservation? I've typically camped in Texas, Colorado, and national parks of the western states. Minus a reservation, availability in those locations is typically limited to private parks. Is this the same in New England states during the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 First of all, I want to welcome you to the Escapee forums! We are very happy you are here and we will do all that we are able to help and support you. We do not have much recent experience in New England state parks and only limited with the national parks up that way but we have found that commercial RV parks are not nearly as available as they are in the other parts of the country. We also found that most of the RV parks we stayed in were used mostly by seasonal visitors as RV owners in that area do not seem to move around the way we do in other parts of the country. As a result, we found that reservations were pretty important in the area, especially on weekends. We spent several years living in that part of the country when we were much younger and visited quite a few parks there at the time. Two resources that I have found helpful for that part of the country are Top 10 national and state parks in New England, and also 15 MUST-VISIT NEW ENGLAND STATE PARKS.

Bill w/bus Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Welcome to the forums. I would recommend reservations as campgrounds are fairly small and expensive in the heavy tourist areas. We have traveled in the Northeast without reservations but be prepared with alternatives. Fraternal organizations frequently have spaces with power available. I am speaking of Elks, Moose, Eagles,AmericanLegion, VFW etc. Good luck Bill Bill & Lynn Baxter MCI102A3 Conversion, Detroit Diesel S50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you going "New England states" is a big area and has a diverse supply of places. I have been in The New England states the last 2 summers. I will be heading back that way in May. I have been from Niagara Falls to East Port Main. You definitely need a towed to get around in. Give me some answers and I can give you better answers.
