Picking your collective brains: camping?

[emcicle.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good, family oriented campground? we want to go camping next weekend, just one night, as it will be the first time we take the little ones camping and not sure how they'll react to it. We have no preference for state (MA, NH, VT, maybe ME, although that might be a little far for just one night). (Edit to add: I'm thinking somewhere with a pool or a lake, fairly easy hiking trails, and generally laid back. Not somewhere that will be full of hardcore campers/hikers that might be annoyed by our car camping ways, and also somewhere that isn't full of people boozing it up all day/night)

any suggestions appreciated. and if this is too far off topic for DSLJ, let me know and I'll take it down.

Thanks!

We have in the past few years also camped with kids in Harold Parker State Park, which is in Andover, and at a private campground near the beach in Gloucester called Cape Ann Campground.
I don't know how heavily booked these get how far in advance in the middle of summer though.
