"Last year we went to Cruise America in a camper van, but it turned out that without proper equipment it wasn't a vacation, but survival."
"With consistent results, I’ve been able to concentrate more on core courses and activities without worrying about lagging behind."

LegendRend Lake is a large COE recreation area with 4 campgrounds, some with full hook ups for $28 a night, two dams, 2 beaches, several boat launches, a marina, golf course and a restaurant. Not all facilities were open when we visited in March. Hiking and biking trails and close to town for gas and bait. Each site has a stone picnic table and fire ring. Showers, bathrooms and playgrounds in multiple places and convenient locations. Some sites do have steep grade, originally booked Bluejay 48 and moved.

RangerWe were there in November for just a night. At first I thought the sites were a bit rough and not very level. But while were there, they started to regrade the pads at the sites. The new gravel was leveled and packed flat. The sites are greatly improved.
Cell service was very good, Verizon, and very quiet. Most sites are 30 amp but the Lake view loop are 50 amp. There are a few sites that will handle large rigs but most are for medium sized rigs.
TravelerPeaceful, family friendly-playgrounds, pool, hiking trails, picnic areas, large camp sites. Cabins available. Electric hookup at trailer sites.
TravelerWonderful private campground surround by woods, an open field and a small pond. There is a small playground, covered patio, bathrooms with showers and plenty of lawn space! Pet friendly and looks very ADA accessible, I had a great time spending one night here with my dog. $15 for tent/primitive camping, $25 for electric!
ScoutWe stopped at this campground because we were not going to make our original destination. The staff were very polite and helpful. The views of the river were gorgeous! The pull through spot was nice and level. The spot was also all gravel which was very nice! We had full hookups and full cell service through at&t.
GuideMy Wife and I stayed at this campground for 3 nights. Our travel trailer is 22 feet and the site was large enough for our travel trailer and tow vehicle.
RangerThey have just redone this camp ground with new concrete pads, new bathhouse, and new electrical. It’s very peaceful. Some people may leave their camper there all season but that’s only a couple of spots. Not bad for a small campground in a small community.
TravelerLove camping here. Sites are spacious and mostly level. Water is throughout the park for easy fill up close to sites. Electric is at the site. Two nice dump stations and large clean bath houses. Sites have a fire ring. There is an amphitheatre where they show family movies or have band/DJs, there is a nature center for children, play areas for children located throughout the campground and nice roads to ride bikes. On holidays, the park has special events for the kids. This is a very large, clean, safe campground for families.
LegendThis state park was easy to find. We arrived about 4:45 PM as their Sunday check in time is 5:00 PM. There were still campers coming out of the park. Check in was super easy thanks to a very nice ranger. We proceeded 3 miles into the park to the campground(CG) loop areas. We were offered pull through site 20 if we didn’t want our reserved site 22 that was a back-in with electric(50/30 AMP) only. Site 22 was an easy back-in and its a large site so we stuck with this site. We paid$23 per night, plus$5 transaction fee, and$3.22 tax for this site. Upon arrival we payed a one-time$9(out of state) entrance fee. There are water spigots periodically spaced around the loops. Ours was about 55 feet from our site, which was convenient to fill our fresh water tank. There was a sign on the spigot not allowing splitters to connect for more permanent use. We were in one of the CG’s first loops, 16-28, that was pretty much empty during our two night’s stay Sun- Tue the first week week of June. We liked this loop’s privacy and space between sites. In the main campground areas(sites 60- 100s) the RV and tent sites were closer together but we did notice that a few sites around 118 had electric and water. There were quite a few restrooms/shower facilities smartly placed throughout the CG loops. This state park was among the cleanest and well maintain that we have experienced during our journeys.
