New York City North / Newburgh KOA Holiday: Plattekill, NY

This campground was our stop-over on the way up to the Hops and Hounds competition in Maine.

We stayed on site 145.  This site was awesome!

It was a pull-through site and had a deluxe patio and private campfire/sitting area.

This campground had so much to offer – they even had a wine store with a tasting room featuring local NY wines!  You can check out their other amenities HERE.

Pomona RV Park and Campground, Egg Harbor City, NJ

All of our camping trips revolve around the pups’ dock diving competitions, except the holiday camping trips we take on Easter and Thanksgiving. We very rarely catch a free weekend – let alone one that matches up with another camping buddy.  However, this particular weekend in October we were able to make it happen!

This was only our second trip in the new RV.  I decided to ride on the couch with the pups for a little bit to help get them settled.

It was a very chilly weekend, but we enjoyed every minute at Pomona RV Park and Campground!

You would never know this campground was just 10 minutes away from Atlantic City Casinos, boardwalk, and beaches, as it was very quiet and peaceful!

We stayed on site C3:

Lager just loves his new GLAMping window!

We spent quite a bit of time indoors getting a break from the cold, and enjoying getting to know our new camper.  We could relax for sure knowing Lager and Limoncello were on patrol!

Hooch and Rita decided to let Cello and Lager do all the patrolling while they soaked up the GLAMping life!

We did get some warmer temps where we were able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air – Rita seems to be more of a cold-weather kind of gal, as she enjoyed every minute sitting outside!

It was a wonderful weekend (not too far) away! We appreciated time with friends, we were delighted to spend some time figuring out all the buttons and controls on the new RV, and enjoyed the campfires each night!

Lancaster/New Holland KOA: First Trip With Our New Camper

Those of you who have been following our adventures from the start, know that we started out tent camping, moved on to a travel trailer, and then a 5th Wheel.  Even though we enjoyed all of our camping methods, once we adopted Margarita, we discovered that we needed to travel in a way where all of us could be a little bit more comfortable while on the road. We decided to trade our 5th Wheel in for a Class-A RV!

Our first trip in the new camper was to Lancaster / New Holland KOA !

What a gorgeous view from the campground:

 Our campsite (Site X-16) … we LOVED our site!

We enjoyed this campground very much – one of the days was very rainy, which gave us some time to get acclimated to our new RV!

Once the weather broke, we were able to enjoy the outdoors at our great site!

Friends of ours live nearby the campground, and were nice enough to come by with some Lancaster favorites that we have never had before!

We had a fun (and most importantly – SAFE) first trip in our new camper – during one of the very, VERY few camping trips where dock diving was not involved!

Saugerties/Woodstock KOA, Saugerties, NY

We stayed at the Saugerties/Woodstock KOA, located in Saugerties, NY for Cello’s dock diving event at the Dutchess County Fair.

The hosts could not have been nicer at this KOA! They met us at the gate (even though we arrived after hours) and led us to our campsite.

We stayed on site #32:
