RVING AT THE EVENT

While you cannot camp at the Northeast RV & Camping Show, you'll find amazing campgrounds and RV resorts and parks nearby with terrific amenities. If you don't own an RV, you can find an RV rental in Hartford with all the bells and whistles you want. Some RV owners offer delivery and setup services to your preferred campground, resort, or park.

Here are some of our top campground and resort recommendations:

• Wilderness Lake Campground and Resort offers many RV sites with electric and water hookups in secluded sites. The property amenities include hiking trails, a volleyball court, horseshoe pits, game rooms, and a lodge. During your visit, you can go for a boat ride, fish, swim, or take in the peaceful atmosphere.

• Aces High RV Park offers newly paved RV sites with full electric and water hookups with privacy. The property features a sauna, pickleball courts, a sauna, a pool, a laundry room, a propane station, a pavilion, a camp store, and two bathhouses.

Tips for RVers attending the Northeast RV & Camping Show:

• Service your RV before you leave home. Get an oil change, check your fluids, and have your tires rotated and balanced.

• Fully stock your RV with food and supplies. Purchase firewood and review all campground rules for campfires.

• Abide by all rules and regulations as directed by the campground, resort, or park manager. Review the pet policy and details regarding alcoholic beverages.

• Review all local RV laws, especially RV parking ordinances, to avoid tickets and citations.
