I've been to Spring Gulch in Lancaster and I'm going to Lake In Wood out there too next weekend.

I also decided to do South Carolina, but I'm going to layover in Richmond one day back and forth.

We just got back from a trip through the finger lakes up to Niagara- had an amazing time. We did state parks- Watkins Glen, Four Mile Creek on Lake Ontario. You can get power & water, but not sewer. I'd definitely recommend heading that direction, easy drive from NJ. Tons to see & do.

Hershey, PA? Have had Hershey Park/Chocolate Factory experience -- very nice, but no campground experience, although I have heard good things about the campground there. Also Gettysburg? Have heard good things about their campgrounds and they are not far from Hershey. I know you said you wanted to go north, but these are not too far south.

We've been to Spring Gulch and Lake In Wood. We're going out to Gettysburg for Columbus Day weekend. Spring Gulch was nice and quiet, more serene in the elite section. Lake In Wood was noisy but the amenities were far and away superior.

Crossing the border even with an RV is a piece of cake as long as you aren't carrying firearms or booze as long as you have passports or the travel cards. Just be polite and answer the questions.

We cross the border at least two trips a year... Someone noted earlier that crossing into the US is harder then the trip into Canada... 100% accurate but still easy to do.

The primary difficulty is the agriculture restrictions... Some bright light has decided your roast beef sandwich might be the source of the next Mad Cow Outbreak. The list of foods you cannot bring from Canada to the US is basically any fresh food products, dairy or citrus juices. We cross with only pre-packaged foods and then at our first stop on the US side we pick-up our meat and produce.

We use to dispose of any extra produce we had before crossing back North of the border... Until we discovered that Canada does not have the same stringent restrictions. Now we come home with whatever is left in the fridge... And my DW's year supply of Chef-Boy-Ardee Pizza Dough, which is not sold in Canada.

One thing to keep in mind... When returning to the US is your pet food. I can't remember all of the details but basically no lamb at all. Food packaged in USA is OK but it has to be in an unopened bag. As Canucks travelling South we just by a new bag before crossing the border and leave it sealed. Americans coming North... Again no problem because we do not have the same restrictions just be prepared to have to dump any extra food you have before the return trip.

Oh... And some booze is OK... A bottle per person or a case of beer is a safe bet... Trust me you DO NOT want to pay our Liquor prices. Up here Beer is more expensive then Gas.

Finally fill the tank before you cross... Canadian gas is currently about $1.15 a Litre... Translates to about $4.60 per Gallon.

We have camped in Maine for the last 20 years at Beaver Brook Campground. You are close enough to most everything. One o the countries best bass lakes, a pool and activities at night.

I'm actually posting this from here right now. Very nice park. The park is dead right now though but I've never been to a more QUIET place. Except for my kids you can't hear squat out here.

I ski there every year, but have never been there in camping weather. I need to go try it out.

Bikester- I'd definitely say check it out. I did a triathlon out there and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was April or May I believe so the water was still 50 something degrees, I highly advise against swimming that early. Coolest 1/2 mile of my life, even in a wetsuit.

If you swing by my place in the North Bay Area, Ca. in exchange for some BBQ and Beer, I might be persuaded to help you with some of your repairs.
