Spacious sites: Hideaway RV Park receives praise for its site dimensions. "Very spacious sites, all of which are full hookups for a very reasonable price," notes one reviewer.

Another reviewer detailed, "There were plenty of activities for the kids including an ice cream sundae bar ($3/person), foam party, hat ride, candy bingo, basketball court, putt-putt (although it appeared to be outdated), and a swimming pool."
Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds maintain peaceful environments despite being relatively close to urban areas. A visitor to Hideaway RV Park commented, "Small yet mostly quiet local camp. It's away from all of the daily hoopla but close to towns if you need things." At Camp Lord Willing, a camper observed, "Stayed at Camp Lord Willing in June 2021 and it was a peaceful friendly environment with seasonal and experienced campers."
What you should know
Site conditions: Several campgrounds have drainage or ground cover issues. At Apple Creek, one camper noted, "Most of the sites around us were sandy dirt with very little to no grass." Another mentioned, "Our visit was for 2 days/3 nights. Over half the sites are seasonal, so despite a lot of RVs, we saw very few people."
Maintenance interruptions: Unexpected facility work can impact stays. A visitor to Apple Creek reported, "A worker approached my husband to let him know that our site would have power cut for up to 3 hours for maintenance. Our options were to go somewhere local for the 3 hours, but there was really nothing local to do."
Internet connectivity: Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA offers varied connectivity options. One camper shared specific performance metrics: "Verizon via iPhone 12 via a weBoost signal booster: 22 mbps down and 3 mbps up with 29 ms ping; T-Mobile via Nighthawk MR1100 via weBoost: 36 mbps down and 19 mbps up with 46 ms ping."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer play areas for children of different ages. A Camp Turkeyville visitor noted, "Spacious sites. Concrete patio at each site. Daily trash pickup at campsite. Very quiet and family friendly." Another mentioned the campground has a "volleyball pit, playground, and horseshoes."
Group camping arrangements: Some sites provide special configurations for family gatherings. At Apple Creek, "The group area is circular and surrounded by trees which helped to keep it cool. Each site had electric hook-up and some had water."
Pool availability: Holiday RV Campground has recently updated aquatic facilities. A camper described, "This campground is family owned and very nicely kept up. It is predominantly all season campers but there are plenty of other spots open for short visits. Playground near pool is nice, and there are 2 other playgrounds. Pool is very new."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Be prepared with adequate leveling equipment. At Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA, a camper mentioned, "The chalky gravel campsites and roads are raked everyday. They do roadside trash pickup throughout the day."
Pet accommodations: Many campgrounds offer dedicated pet areas. A Holiday RV visitor shared, "Giant dog park and ponds. Pool was closed. Just needs more grass. Our spot was really patchy and resulted in a lot of mud."
Bathroom facilities: Quality and location of facilities varies significantly between campgrounds. At Camp Lord Willing, a reviewer noted, "Shower House is at the front and not in a centralized location." At Apple Creek, a camper mentioned, "The facilities near the group area were sub-par but were manageable. If they would fix up the bathrooms and shower stalls I'd give 5 stars. The other shower building/bathroom appeared to be more modern but we did not use those as they were too far away."
