NOTE: you may choose to add extra nights in New York at the start of your journey or, as you return to New York to fly home, you could stay extra nights at the end. Or perhaps do both!
New York Hilton MidtownCollect your Motorhome from Cruise America in New York or Newark. It’s approx 190 or 120 miles respectively to the Blueberry Hill RV Park just inland from the superb Atlantic beaches and the world class entertainment of Atlantic City. Visit: Long Branch, a favourite beach resort of seven Presidents and site of Beaux-arts Woodrow Wilson Hall.
It’s a short drive inland to the recommended campsite which, in turn, is just twelve miles from the ‘birthplace’ of the nation and the historical sites of Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park. Visit: Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the many other sites in ‘The City of Brotherly Love’.
College Park is home to not only the closest RV resort to
Washington, DC but also the world’s oldest continuously operating airport which was founded by the Wright brothers a hundred years ago. Both DC public transportation and scheduled sightseeing buses serve the campground. Visit: Capitol Hill, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Smithsonian, the Kennedy grave site in Arlington National Cemetery and enough other sights and sites to fill a fortnight!
Bedford, Pennsylvania, is a great place to break the drive up to the shores of Lake Erie. The whole town is designated a National Historic District and as the suggested campsite tells you, there are more covered bridges than traffic lights around here. Visit: Old Bedford Village and Fort Bedford.
Presque Isle State Park attracts several million visitors each year to its beaches and nature trails. As the name suggests, this ‘almost an’ island is a sandy bar jutting out into Lake Erie and needing several lighthouses to warn of its presence. Visit: the rides and slides of Waldameer Park and Water World or Lake Erie wineries.
The route to Niagara Falls follows the Lake Erie shore and bypasses the city of Buffalo. When not taking in the majesty of the Falls themselves, this international resort that has many attractions including Martin’s Fantasy Island right next door to the campsite. The Falls are perhaps even more spectacular on the Canadian side. You can walk across the Rainbow bridge or two other crossing points.
Best known to the world as the one-time home of the US
Grand Prix, Watkins Glen State Park is one of the several parks in New York State’s very picturesque Finger Lakes area. Visit: Seneca Lakes, Sampson and Lodi Point State
Parks as you drive north to south down the eastern shore of Lake Seneca.
Back into New Jersey on a half day drive towards the metropolitan New York area. The destination campground faces Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and the skyline of Manhattan across the Hudson River. From the campsite, Manhattan is easily reached by ferry or subway. Either ride is little longer than fifteen minutes. Visit: New York City – a Broadway play, a super restaurant or just a sightseeing wander.
Long Island is a very delightful contrast to the city band the further you drive away from New York the greater that contrast is. Out past JFK International and along the Atlantic Coast, the route takes you through Shinnecock Hills and then the very fashionable Hamptons bound for the State Park campsite in Hither Hills. Visit: Fire Island National Seashore.
Back down the other side of Long Island. If your airport reading included Nelson Demille, you’ll already be familiar with the villages and bays you’ll see signposted alongside Long Island Sound. Overnight is back in Jersey City for fun in New York and a very easy drive back to Cruise America in the morning. Visit: Manhattan again for a last night celebration of a memorable tour.
Allow a good two hours to get back to the Cruise America depot, especially if driving in rush hour. Return your motorhome, make your way to the airport and check in for your flight back to the UK.
