I'm considering making a family tent camping trip through New England next July but I'd like to hear some reports on the weather and bugs with regard to tenting. We've made lengthy tent trips the last two summers out west (Colorado, Yellowstone, etc.) but the weather is typically great and bugs (e.g. mosquitoes) were minimal. I haven't done a trip like this around New England since I was a kid and I don't know if the weather (specifically, heat and humidity) and mosquitoes might make tenting more miserable than I like. I'm 50 and don't enjoy the heat/humidity so I thought I would ask for some input. Laying in a tent sweating while scratching mosquito bites is not something I want to do.
Stops might include: Philly, Boston, Green Mts, White Mts, Acadia, Cape Cod, and those kinds of places.
My guess is that it will be warm to hot with moderate (but not oppressive) humidity and a fair number of mosquitoes. For whatever reason, mosquitoes eat me alive while the rest of my family sits around unscathed. Oh, well, appreciate any input.
