On the trip up from Florida, this is my camper
set up in the Washington,
Penn KOA. The sites for the over-night only campers were
terraced into a rather steep hill. When exiting the camper, it
was right into the side of the hill and the grass was very
slippery when wet. Stepping out of the camper was definitely
tricky. The campground was nice otherwise. |

Our camper set up at the Niagara Falls,
Can KOA. When I called they had me down for a tent site
without utilities. I explained that we really needed W&E,
so they switched us to this tent site at one of the tenting
pavilions. It really worked out pretty nice as it was a corner
lot and there seemed to be a bit more privacy than the regular
sites. |

amazed at how many more popups we saw in the north country
than here in South Florida. |

My wife relaxes at Elmtree
Campsites along the N.Y. Thruway after a hard day of
riding (I did all of the driving). I don't know if the locals
use this as a destination or not, but it was one of the nicer
campgrounds close by an interstate that we stayed at
overnight. The mosquitoes were pretty bad though. |

Our trip to New Hampshire was more family
visiting orientated rather than camping. While there we stayed
at the Pine
Acres Family Camping Resort. After I'd booked the
reservations, I saw several negative reviews of this
campground, but this was the only vacancy I could find close
to my relatives. The site I was assigned, was large and
spacious and reasonably private. The shower facilities were
clean (one of the frequent negatives of other reviews) but I
was a little peeved at paying for a shower after $32 for a
site. There were a lot of teenagers about with little
supervision and it was a little noisy at night. Probably will
plan ahead a little better next time, to try one of the other
campgrounds in the area. On top of that, there is a $6 per
person visitor charge unless less than an hour. You can't even
cook hotdogs in less than an hour. |

My brother-in-law treated us to a delicious
Maine Lobster and Steamer cookout. A great time was had by
all. |
