- We will camp 2 nights (Sat and Sun) in PA. Sun - 30% of rain, Mon - sunny.

Now as far as campgrounds.... In PA I liked Conewago Isle Campground the most ($24/day). It is 2 hrs from Winchester (same as to Hershey 132 m 2:15) over country roads and would place us good to either continue to Hershey, or drive around Dutch country which is 40 miles, 50 minutes away, so we better continue to Beacon Hill camping ($25 tent/$50 cabin) which would put us 40 miles (50 minutes from Hershey). Campgounds upon entrance to PA could be found here www.pacamping.com SouthCentral and around Dutch Country here www.pacamping.com SouthEast
If both campgrounds would work out we would go to Hershey on Mon on our way out from PA to Adirondacks which would go either thru Hershey or one exit East on I-76 (directly from Beacon Hill). Regardless we would have to head to Adirondacks noonish on Mon since it is 350 miles or 6 hr drive. In Adirondacks I liked the following campground Lake George Camping and Lake George Escape Camping Resort. The rest could be found here http://www.adirondackcampgrounds.com/Campgrounds/index_Map.cfm
In Adirondacks it is ~ 100 miles (1:30) one way to mountain region Lake Placid up I-87 turning left on Rte 73 and we could loop thru Saranac Lake then to Bloomingdale then Franklin Falls and then back to campground going thru North Pole. Or we could loop around Lake George itself which should take about 2-3 hours.
The road from Lake George in Adirondacks to Harvard would take 230 miles and 3:30 out of which at least 60 miles would be going back South from Adirondacks to I-90 (Boston - Syracuse hwy), so we could leave Adirondacks as late as 4 PM on Wed.
