Next year our big trip is going to be New York state. After I take my wife to Niagra, we're going to take the travel trailer over to the high peaks region.
Questions:
What would be the best state park or National Forest campground to use as a base camp for hiking the high peaks? We'll be pulling our very small travel trailer (17 feet), but I need a campground that will accommodate trailers, but it doesn't have to have hookups. It has onboard water supply and I have a generator if I need it.
Also, I want to avoid the worst of the biting insects. What time of the summer are they fading out? When I went to Katahdin in early August we didn't encounter any black files or mosquitoes at all. Similar for the Daks?
Thanks!
