Hueston Woods State Park Campground is worth checking out if you like hiking trails and spending time by the lake.

The roads to these places are usually in good shape, but you should check for any closures before heading out. All these campgrounds have the basics you need - restrooms, showers, and clean water. You should make reservations ahead of time, particularly in busy seasons when spots fill up fast. Most places let you book months ahead, which is smart if you have specific dates in mind.
