Nice place to get away
We had a nice site tucked under the trees, which has pros and cons. On the plus side, it was shady and felt private. On the negative side, the trees made Starlink impossible to use, and our cell coverage wasn’t great. If you have to work or remain connected like we do, this is a problem, but luckily I didn’t have any critical meetings, so it worked out okay. There are a lot of amenities for families and kids, so I can see this would be a destination for folks who want to get away from the city. We used it as a jumping-off point to go into the city, as there aren’t a lot of options closer to the city for a large motorhome, and it was easy enough to drive to Yankee Stadium (about an hour and a half away). I would have loved to stay longer and explore more in the immediate area, however. Next time! We camped at New York City North / Newburgh KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

Completed visiting all contiguous states
With our road trip to Connecticut and Rhode Island, we have now visited all 48 contiguous states of the US.
Here’s Jenn adding last state pin:

Here’s the full pin board. Alaska and Hawaii are the only two remaining, which will require special efforts:

Our review on Campground Reviews:
Great base for New England exploration
We’re not really “campground activities” kind of people, but if you are, this is the place to go and do that. For us, it was a great home base for exploring Boston, Cape Cod, and a daytrip into CT and RI, so we didn’t spend a lot of time at the campground itself. I really enjoyed having a massage therapist on site, however. What an awesome perk that I wish more campgrounds had. While the amenities offered definitely live up to the “resort” name, the sites themselves were a bit on the basic side, with gravel roads, pads that weren’t entirely level, and no garbage pickup. The utilities all worked well, however, and they do accept packages. We’d be happy to stay here again when we’re in the area. We camped at Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort in a Motorhome.
