The Big Apple isn’t nearly as big as its surroundings, best visited via RV.
Nothing screams summer quite like an RV road trip. A campsite with a grill and picnic area offers everything you'll need for your getaway—minus the barbecue food of your choosing. Grab a friend or pack up the whole family for a vacation to the Catskills, Hudson Valley, or Western Pennsylvania. You won't have to be cramped in the car for long. Not far from New York City, RV campgrounds come with sprawling views of not-so-distant mountains, vibrant sunsets, and a rotating variety of regional birds. In fall, you’ll want to break out your binoculars for a different reason—a stay in a colorful state park like Tobyhanna State Park or Lake Taghkanic is primed for leaf peeping. The autumn scenery surrounding New York City rivals that of New England, with beech, birch, and maple trees serving as the region's version of skyscrapers.
