  • Cape Henlopen State Park
  • Delaware State Parks, Lewes DE
  • Expensive but perfect beach campground. Close to the lovely and user friendly towns of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach.

  • Johnny's forest dacha
  • private business Grafton VT
  • beautiful, rustic location.

  • Kiptopeke State Park Campground
  • Virginia State Parks, Cape Charles, VA
  • Expensive for the non-resident, but a nice campground in a spectacular location, on the Chesapeake Bay just a few miles north of where it meets the Atlantic. There is a cool little boardwalk access to the beach, where you can walk along the beach to the boat ramp/picnic area/fishing pier a little south. Really fun place.

  • Elizabeth Furnace Campground
  • George Washington National Forest, Fort Valley VA
  • A very handy place, in the next valley over from Front Royal. It stays open later in the year than the other federal campgrounds in the area.

  • Stony Fork Campground
  • George Washington National Forest, Wytheville VA
  • Wonderful campground only a few miles off of I-77. Sites with elec+water, elec only, or neither (my favorite!). All reasonably priced, and with Senior Card, downright cheap!

  • North Creek Campground
  • Washington and Jefferson National Forest, Buchanan VA
  • Been here twice, and it was a little bit weird both times. Drive for six-ish miles up the side of the mountain, then get to a quiet campground on the point of land between a creek and a smaller creek. Both times it has seemed gloomy here. Both times I have been really happy driving back down the mountain to get out of here.

  • Tony and Joyce's house
  • private business Fall River, MA
  • Nice ole house, trees, squirrels, nice neighborhood in a declining city

  • Big Meadows Campground
  • Shenandoah National Park, Luray VA
  • The campground is quite nice by western National Park standards. It isn't very exciting per se, but the greater CCC-built Big Meadows complex and Skyline Drive is awesome! The lodge, the trails, the trail signs all have that 1930's feel to them. I love it.

  • Nickerson State Park
  • Massachusetts State Parks, Brewster, MA
  • large, spacious, in the strategic near end of Cape Cod

  • Fahnestock State Park
  • New York State Parks, Cold Spring NY
  • pleasant but too close to New York. Check in was confusing and a pain. You know you're too close to civilization when there are pizza delivery numbers at the campground office.

  • Fort Frederick State Park
  • Maryland State Parks, Circle Spring MD
  • Overpriced campground, but a very interesting place. The actual Fort is cool, the CCC buildings around it are cool. We are right on the C&O Canal/bike path.
