pretty 5 acre pond. Friendly staff. 50 minutes from Kitty Hawk, the

diner near the campground by the name of Track I of Camden. Home cooking
at its finest. Skip overpriced Kelly’s in Nags Head.
G. Ashland, VA. 150 miles) –
Richmond North KOA/Americamps.
$45.75/night. FHU, PT, EZ. Gravel/gravel. Campground is nothing special
except economical propane. It is a favorite stopover for many I-95
travelers. A more inexpensive stop at the same exit would be
Ashland, VA.
Be sure to ask directions
to Guido’s Italian Restaurant. Excellent!
H. Greensboro, MD. (163 miles) –
*Holiday Park Campground. Regular
$48/night. Sandy sites. Dump station on the way out. Rate it rustic. We
would not stay there again due to the horribly uneven pavement going in
and the rude hostess.
I. Rehoboth Beach, DE. (60 miles)–
Delaware Seashore State Park.
$37/night. FHU (Yes, including sewer!). Gravel/gravel. Beautiful
location with great views and beach access. Located in between Rehoboth
Beach and Bethany Beach. Would stay here again but would avoid Matt’s
Fish Camp – overpriced and tasteless seafood.
J. Galloway, NJ. (177 miles) -
Shady Pines Carefree RV Resort. FHU.
$37.80/night. Closest RV park to Atlantic City (8mi). Beautiful park in
a residential area. Not hard to get to but heavy tolls to get to and
from it.
K. Catskill, NY. (240 miles) –
*Brookside Campground. Regular
$44/night. 10 miles off I-87. Rural setting. Grassy pull-thrus. Great
food at Angella’s Italian just down the road. Nice scenic loops in the
area.

*Warrensburg Travel Park. Regular
$50/night. FHU, PT, EZ. Great little park on the Schroon River with
