Match the campground's size limit and hookup level to a vehicle category, then plan the rest of the trip.

Your next step
Hither Hills State Park Campground takes rigs up to 35 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in New York.
Nothing in New York is bookable today — PickRV opens for bookings on October 25. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
