Koko, where are some of the breathtaking campgrounds on the east coast you talk about. Looking for suggestions.

Number one, full hookups, because with 4 of us I want sewer as we fill up the tanks pretty quick and no way am I hooking up the 5th wheel to go dump the tanks. We also like lots of trees, just doesn't seem like camping to me when your parked out in the wide open spaces. Like most others, I don't want to be right next to my neighbor.

Different trips require different things.....But 3 things are constant......Shade.....Site length.....and surroundings.

To add on to post #12:
Prefer long, level pull through site.
No crowded, jammed together sites.
Quiet.
Full hook ups with cable and WIFI fast enough for Netflix.
30A OK, but 50A during hot months.
Trees, but no encroaching limbs endangering the trailer.
No mud.
Dog friendly.

Having only one year under my belt, I agree with what kristi and jrth both posted. My only additions would be wifi and/or cable and a flat level spot. However, none of those are deal breakers.
When alone or with the kids, we prefer campsites that have distance between them. When with our friends, it doesn't matter as much as there are 3 or 4 of us and we all get sites next to each other.
Some of the "private" ones are so stacked on top of each other and so full of cement, that it just doesn't feel like camping. I don't like those.
I would also add that being able to see a clear and actual picture on a website is a big plus. Any picture is actually a big plus, but the actual one is great.
We also like locations near a lake if possible.

Full hook ups and a clear view of the southern sky.

I was going to say location but if they don't have full hook up sites then location does not matter. Also, in the summer we like a pool.

I usually look for the first nice spot near the the trout stream that's at least 5 miles up the dirt road past the last occupied camp spot.

Maybe in the winter, but during the summer heat? I'll take all the shade I can get.
Full view of northern sky and eastern, morning sun, but all that is hard to acquire. Be easier to find a medium rare NY steak and a glass of Petite Sirah at a potluck.

A nice clean pool and some activities in or nearby that will entertain an 8 year old.
There is no real vacation/relaxing with an 8 year old boy in tow.

I mostly use, Allstays phone app and RV Review.
Looking for big rig pull thru sites and cable.
If I'm staying a few days, I look for open sky to the south for the satellite.

John's item "I don't want a campground host that insists he knows how to best guide me into the site. In fact, I don't want the host to help" brought a smile to our faces. Think how many times you have all pulled into a camp site just as you are spotted trying to park by three well-intended men watching. Within two minutes they are over by your rig, giving orders, advice and waving arms......Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little.

Jim, You're not exaggerating "too much"..... RV'ers are the "friendliest" folks around, always seem willing to 'lend a hand" even if their help "gets in the way" more than helps.....
There are very few people who know how our rig responds to backing input better than my DW and I. We have a routine, we follow it, get into some pretty tight spaces at times, all without the help of someone who doesn't "think" that branch is low enough to hit the roof, or that doesn't realize there's a rear bumper on the truck that hits the front storage door if it's left "swinging".
I've got my own "conception" of where I want my stabilizer jacks to end up, how long my power cord, water and sewer hoses are and where I can park to get the maximum area to park the truck or to keep the dog's leash from getting tangled in the utilities. That "helper" isn't aware of all of my (and the DW's) thoughts, nor does he/they know what we've talked about for the last 3 hours in planning what we wanted to do with/for/to the trailer as soon as we park.
So, if I need your help, I'll be sure to ask, but please, if my DW is guiding me into the spot and we are talking with the rear camera intercom, don't walk up to the truck and start telling me which way to back or suggesting that she's not familiar with the process. When we're backed in and I'm getting out of the truck, I'll smile and say, "howdy", but let us do what we do best. We're a team and believe it or not, we've been doing this for well over 40 years, I trust her judgment and she knows my limitations.
There, now I've said it again......
