Going motocamping this weekend with my buddy, just trying to pick a spot - Shot in the dark I'm sure but are there any decent areas to camp within ~2 hours of Philadelphia that aren't loving family RV "camp" grounds?

I'm loading up the tuono next weekend for a little motocamping trip in the ny/pa area. Anyone know of any good spots? Basically anywhere within 2-5ish hours of the nyc area would be solid. The more primitive the better. Was gonna do solo but If anyone wants to tag along that would be cool as well!

Forgot to post pics of my little 1 night solo camping trip up in Roscoe NY -

Loaded up the Tuono to the gills with a shitload of gear just to see what I could carry for a longer trip. Overall a great success. I highly recommend the bio-lite as a camp stove, especially since you can charge up your phone with it in a pinch.
Had to take it on a ~3 mile gravel road with Q3's, actually was fine and kind of fun sliding it out a bit.

The next morning was absolutely pouring rain - kind of a bitch to pack everything up and get going but everything worked out and the ride home ended up clearing up and was dry. Definitely going to take a longer trip this spring to somewhere cool.

Unpacking


Walmart ozark trail 1 person tent, only $50 and stayed dry even in crazy pouring rain


The campsite was absolutely infested with Red Efts/Eastern Newts!



I actually had to completely relocate the fire ring since every single rock had about 3-4 newts underneath!


Found this pretty strange clearing full of cool old dead trees, pretty much all of them were full of carpenter ants:


Hell yeah sausage and peppers

The bio lite is really awesome, I've used it a bunch and it produces a super impressive flame since it has a little self charging fan. Only downsides are it's sometimes hard to start the initial fire if you don't have little fire starter pellets or something, and it goes through wood really fast, but it's really good for cooking.

The bags are cortech super 2.0 - fit pretty well on most of my bikes, a little tricky to attach to the tuono but I got them on there good for the trip.

They are pretty durable and come with rain covers. I also have a magnetic tank bag, but now I have a plastic tank so... no go. Tank bag is the best part too.

Yeah i had a huge battery pack the last time but I guess the bio lite would be a lifesaver in a real survival situation.

I'm planning on going moto camping next weekend (July 28-30) - anyone interested in joining me? I'm thinking either upstate NY or Poconos area PA. I have a good amount of camping gear, biolite, etc.

It would be cool if we could get a group together to motocamp this summer/fall. Would anyone in the Northeast US be interested?
