Check out the Rubels bike maps for Mass. The Claire Saltonstall route & the Outriders.org sites

Salem Ma. has a town owned CG and when I was there I was given a discount.
There is a nice state campground in Salisbury Ma. on the water.

I've done this 2x. 2, 30 liter bags should be fine. Make sure you line them with plastic bags as they get put on the wet ground if it rains. Food at the colleges was great and there is usually a adult beverage truck on hand (donations) except for the high school stops. At watkins glen make sure you see the gorge. There is an adult beverage store within walking distance of the high school, and some nice bars / restaurants you can walk to. Watkins Glen State Park has free swimming pool. Walmart in town too. You can sleep in most gyms if the weather turns, no extra charge

Camelback does have a long wire with brush on the end. It would fit easily in your pannier and you could clean the hose all the time. You could also add the thermal cover / director to keep the hose from geetting too warm.
