Western NY Dash

Itinerary Western NY

Written By Dale Libby

I was bitten by the RV bug at a very early age. The day my dad brought home that 12′ pull behind camper my world changed. Tent camping was fine but this rig had running water, toilet, shower, beds and a small stovetop. Times have changed but my love for RVing never dieded.

Western New York Dash

 

You get a call from your sister that your 99-year-old mother is not doing well. I dropped what I was doing and headed immediately north. I decided to head up solo while Ginny was finishing up with appointments we had scheduled before our Vegas Dash.

I made a quick overnight stop just north of Cincinnati at Oliver Branch Campgrounds. Hit the road early and parked the RV at Maple Lane RV Park in Cuba, NY.

Here is a quick look at the itinerary :

  • Olive Branch Campground – 6985 Wilmington Rd Oregonia, Ohio 45054,

LTW Campsite Review: Olive Branch Campground

Location: MAP

Nightly Rate Pull Through 50 Amp – $47

olive branch signWe choose this location initially because we are familiar with the surrounding area and it was approximately a 5 1/2 hour drive from our home. It has become our go-to for any trip headed northeast. The park is located right off i-71 and could not have been more convenient to get on and off the highway.

I have reviewed this location but plan to update the review after this stay. I had some serious power issues on site #48. Additionally upon returning a week later site #43s sewer connection was almost unusable. My update will be coming shortly. 

 

 

  • Maple Lane RV Park -5233 Maple Lane Cuba, N.Y.14727

LTW Campsite Review: Coming Shortly

Location: MAP

Night Rate Pull Through 50 Amp – $33

This is a no-frills RV Park conveniently located off I86 near Cuba, NY. I have passed this location on numerous occasions and wanted to give it a trial run. After a three-day visit with little or no issues to speak of, I intend to come back.

Look for my comprehensive review of this location in the coming week. Be sure to check out my video preview of the trip highlight Letchworth State Park.

 

 

 

 

Our Favorite RV Parks

Cherry Hill Park

Cherry Hill Park

Camping in a large metro area always seems like a crape shoot. You are either in a small cramped space with very little green space or the entire park is concrete or blacktop it seems. Typically the rates are high for this precious space. We were not sure what to expect when we arrived at this RV Park. The rates were high, running a little over $105 a night for a premium pull-through. We were pleasantly surprised when we pulled into this location

North Myrtle Beach RV Resort

North Myrtle Beach RV Resort

Updated – April 25, 2021 – New Construction – We have always loved the shoreline of South Carolina near the NC border. We spent many a summer at Holden Beach, NC renting an oceanside home. The crowds you find in Myrtle Beach are not there. It’s quiet, great beaches and there is plenty of fresh seafood. We wanted to find something similar in an RV park.

LazyDays KOA

LazyDays KOA

I do not believe that we will ever find another KOA like this. We had our reservations about staying in this location. Reviews were mixed ranging from outstanding to concerns about its inner-city location. Rest assured from our perspective this is one of the finest KOA’s we have ever stayed at. Snowbirds take note, you could not ask for a better location to spend time away from the cold temps and snow of the north.
