A New York Revolutionary War RV Vacation Itinerary

In our 2nd itinerary for exploring the history of the American Revolution, we move on to the State of New York.

There are almost too many historic sites to name in New York State, but here are some of the top picks for RV travelers:
  • Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site: Newburgh, located in southern New York State, is home to the estate where George Washington made some of the most important decisions of the Revolutionary War.
  • Fort Ticonderoga: On the southwest shore of Lake Champlain, within six-million-acre Adirondack Park, you'll find historic Fort Ticonderoga. Learn how Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys caught the sleeping British Troops off-guard and captured the Fort in 1775. While in upstate New York, plan to camp at Brookwood RV Resort on Lake George.
  • Old Fort Niagara: Combine a visit to Niagara Falls with a stop at Old Fort Niagara, historic protector of access to the Great Lakes. For more than three hundred years, this strategically important site saw battles by the French, British, American Revolutionaries and the Iroquois Confederacy. A truly impressive experience you won't want to miss on your New York Revolutionary War RV Itinerary.
  • Saratoga National Historic Park: Don't leave the Hudson Valley without visiting Saratoga NHP. Northwest of Albany, this Park commemorates Saratoga Battlefield, where American troops defeated the British in 1775 and turned the tide of the American Revolution.

Northeast Fall Foliage RV Road Trip

Here's a secret we've learned from avid RV campers - some of the most beautiful fall foliage in America can be found along the country roads and highways of the Northeast states. Just thinking about all those photo ops makes me want to take a Northeast fall foliage RV road trip! What about you? If you're ready to roll, use these ideas to plan your trip.

The Pleasures of the Poconos! Any RV camper who's never visited the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania has missed a fantastic road trip. The Poconos are home to dozens of picturesque villages and scenic byways. The area west of Scranton, in particular, is a favorite destination for foliage viewing.

While you're in the Poconos, why not park your RV at Keen Lake RV Resort? The Keen Sisters run a beautiful RV campground on the shores of a ninety-acre lake. You won't want to go home!

New York's Fall Foliage Extravagance! Two scenic mountain ranges in New York have enough gorgeous fall foliage for a month-long RV camping trip. The Adirondacks in Upstate New York offer fantastic mountain lakes and hundreds of miles of autumn scenery. Check out Adirondack Adventure RV Resorts for two great RV campgrounds in the area.

In southern New York, the Catskills have their own distinct charm. Maple, oak and hickory leaves burst into brilliant color every year around quaint villages like Cooperstown and Utica. To make your RV camping vacation perfect, Blue Mountain RV Campground in Saugerties has full-service campsites nestled in the trees.

Don't Miss Massachusetts! What could be more picturesque than Boston in autumn? But don't miss the Berkshires! These mountains in western Massachusetts offer one foliage-filled mile after another. And don't leave the state without taking in the fall beauty of Cape Cod.

The Northeast United States is a region we hope all our RV camping friends get to visit. We can help you find the right RV rental for your Northeast Fall Foliage RV Road Trip at our El Monte RV Rentals Boston location, or our other locations: State College RV Rentals, Kingston PA RV Rentals, or Linden, NJ RV Rentals.
