2014-04 From Pennsylvania to New York

The route from Hershey PA to Newburgh took us through Scranton PA, through the Pocono mountains and just past Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area (a couple of places I'd like to explore!), to the banks of the Hudson River 60 miles north of New York City.


Hey, we're home, back in the OC!
 
We planned to stay just overnight using our KOA travel certificate at the "New York City NE KOA" in Newburgh NY. However, while planning our next stop in southern Maine, I discovered none of the Maine parks were actually opening until May 1....so our plan to stay several nights in Old Orchard Beach, ME didn't work out. So, we extended our stay in New York to spend a day exploring NYC.

The Newburgh KOA is a nice park with big roomy sites, and we had our loop almost to ourselves. Besides NYC, there are other attractions in the immediate area, including George Washington Headquarters on the Hudson and the home of Orange County Choppers.
 
Nice little corner of the campground to ourselves


Many KOA "bark parks" feature a doggie agility course

They've got new lodges being set up

We immediately noticed a healthy mosquito population, even this early in the spring!
