Traveling to Andover by RV

Andover sits along Route 417, which connects to Interstate 86 about 20 miles north near Wellsville. This puts you on the Southern Tier Expressway, providing east-west access across southern New York. The drive to Andover from I-86 takes you through classic upstate scenery with gentle hills and farmland views.

Route 417 itself is RV-friendly with good sight lines and minimal steep grades. However, some of the smaller county roads around Andover can be narrow with tight turns, so stick to main routes when possible with larger rigs. The area doesn't present major elevation changes, but winter driving requires caution due to lake-effect snow.

Fuel up in Wellsville before heading south to Andover, as services become more limited in the rural areas. The Speedway station on Route 19 in Wellsville offers easy RV access and competitive prices. For groceries and camping supplies, the Tops Friendly Market in Wellsville provides a full selection before you reach your campground.

Cell service can be spotty in the more remote areas around Andover, so download offline maps before leaving major highways. The rural roads are generally well-maintained but watch for farm equipment during planting and harvest seasons.
