Planning an extended trip to the Northeast and the Canadian Maritimes and looking for advice on travel routes and campgrounds. We prefer to stay in National, State and Local campgrounds when we travel and take secondary highways when that makes sense. Normally we take advantage of the National parks that offer senior discounts. USACE, National Forests, etc., when available. We also dry camp when possible and every 10 days or so look for a park with laundry facilities.
Would like to see as much of the coast as possible. Not sure how doable/advisable that is with the motorhome and toad. Also thinking it may make sense to find a centrally located park in the Massachusetts area and stay there for a month. At least is the more populated area. Don't think that's necessary once we're in upstate NY and beyond. Will likely end up in Nova Scotia before returning.
Thinking of either heading North out of L.A., then East to Canada via Sault Ste. then down to the New England area. Other option is to head East to Provincetown and then North to the Maritimes. Our start date is likely May 1 so thinking about 4 to 6 weeks to get there, two months in the area and then another 4 to 6 weeks to return. Unfortunately, this puts us squarely in the high seasons and since we usually don't reserve, we will probably do a bit more planning on this trip.
