    Wayne County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Typical Fairgrounds Campground

    This is a typical fairground campground with open grassy areas for campsites surrounded by barns and tracks. The fairgrounds is located just off I-94 which makes for easy entrance and exit to the campground, but, means there is lots of road noise. Close by are plenty of stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc. In fact, there is a gap in the fence that runs around the fairgrounds allowing you to walk to a Walmart, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and more. 

    We arrived without a reservation and the women in the office was very helpful providing a map with all available sites during our stay and letting us choose which one we wanted. One of the first things you notice is that a number of people are here long-term so we went to the back area hoping it would be quieter and less crowded. A number of the campsites are “buddy” sites meaning your patio opens to your neighbors so be careful which one you pick. This is pretty undesirable when the neighbor is a total stranger so we chose a site where we didn’t have anyone next to us. 

    They offer 50 amp full hook-up sites, 50 amp/water, and 30 amp/water sites with pull-thru and back-in options. There is a dump station located in the middle of the park which is easy to get to. The roads are wide and a lack of trees makes this campground accessible for any size RV. The sites are level but some lack grassy making the patio pretty dusty or muddy. Unfortunately, where we were was pretty muddy just after a light rain. This campground works best for RV’s and not tents. For tenters there is a designated section that is set in a corner of the park with large trees for shade but not much privacy between you and others. A water spigot is in the tent area and there was one picnic table. The camp office sells firewood but we only saw two fire pits in the whole park. Be aware that noise from the interstate and nearby train tracks may make for a restless night. Bathrooms are centrally located in the campground and were old and tired but relatively clean. On-site laundry is available.

    Apparently, management is having some issues with campers not obeying some of the rules. One of the sad things about this campground is that campers have to be reminded to clean up after their dogs. Apparently, it is such an issue that we got a letter stating that if you don’t pick up your dogs poop you would be asked to leave. How sad is that? There is free WiFi which worked pretty well. Upon checking in, we had to sign a piece of paper stating that we would not download copyrighted material or stream movies or we would be asked to leave. 

    My favorite aspect of this campground is that they had a community garden that you were welcome to pick from. We got tomatoes, Swiss chard, peppers, broccoli, and more. Overall, this campground was fine for the few nights we were here and close to the attractions we wanted to visit. We never felt unsafe even though it was close to major cities. We chose this campground because we wanted to go to Ann Arbor and Dearborn and it was a very convenient location.

    Pros:

    ·        Good location if you want to visit Ann Arbor and Dearborn

    ·        Close to interstate for easy access

    ·        Long, level sites that will fit any RV

    ·        Community garden you can pick from vegetables

    ·        Stores and restaurants are nearby (some within walking distance)

    Cons:

    ·        Lots of road noise from I-94

    ·        No trees for shade or privacy

    ·        Would not recommend for tent camping

    ·        Many campers are long-term

    ·        “Buddy” campsites with patios facing each other

    Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA

    Small basic campground near Toledo

    Our site was $59.95 a night.

    We were in Site# 504. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
    We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep. The site was easy to level. We were charged $25 additional for my jeep since we were towing the trailer. We also were charged $10 because we arrived at 1:25 PM and check-in is at 2 PM. The park was close to empty so arriving early was not an inconvenience. We drove ourselves to our spot (no escort).

    Our site was shaded with lots of trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

    The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring. They sell wood for $6 a bundle.

    There is free WiFi, although not strong. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.

    There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

    They pickup your garbage at your site daily before noon.

    You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

    They do have a Swimming pool but it is currently closed due to maintenance (although it just looked closed- no signs of maintenance being done).

    There is a Playground. They also offer horseshoes, corn hole, giant jinga.

    They have a basic general store. There are not scheduled activities for kids.

    There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site.

    The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes. This is an RV park with tent camping and cabins to rent.

    They have one shower house. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.

    There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. There are approximately 4 washers and 4 dryers. It is approximately $2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry a load.

    They have a small fenced in dog park.

    There isn’t tons to doin the actual city of Perryville. But Toledo is a 20 minute drive.

    Holiday RV Campground

    Nice Park

    Nice park for full timers. Large spots to accommodate big rigs and kids. Full hook ups. Cell service great with Verizon hotspot (22u, 20d, 38ms and AT&T cell(27d, 20u, 27ms). Playgrounds everywhere for the kids. Giant dog park and ponds. Pool was closed. Just needs more grass. Our spot was really patchy and resulted in a lot of mud.

    Great campground with polite and helpful staff. Don’t pass this one up.

    Sterling State Park Campground

    Travel Trailers

    This park will accommodate any size travel trailer? Fifth wheel camper of any kind, the pull throughs are huge. The park is enormous with lots of fishing activities. Great water, the only downfall is there's no shade. Showers and restrooms are updated and always clean.

    Lighthouse Point at Cedar Point

    Immaculate!

    Absolutely beautiful RV park! Gorgeous views of Lake Erie and walking distance to the gate of Cedar Point. Beautiful landscaping and very clean. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Good little camp store with reasonable(ish) prices. Too chilly to swim but the pool looks nice. Bathhouses are updated, clean and very nice, but pretty far from about half of the sites. One section has premium sites with upgraded grills and fire pits and crazy good lake views. The regular sites are still well landscaped and each have a grill and an extra long picnic table, but no fire pit. You can bring your own fire pit if your site doesn't have one. No bikes or golf carts allowed on the grounds, but there are Cedar Point buses available day & night as well as rickshaws during the day. Until now I have held Disney World's Fort Wilderness as the penultimate place for camping but they could learn a few things from Cedar Point! We stayed five nights in a pull through sites, #231. I would love to snag a premium site for our next trip but it may be difficult because they allow you to book up five years in advance!

    East Harbor State Park Campground

    East harbor state park

    Very clean. Close to everything you need close to ferry clean showers camp monitors were friendly sites are paved. 50/30 amp hookups Our site was just a standard electric site. They do have 150 full hook up sites or more. We made our reservations late we were not really concerned about water or sewer as we planned to use the camp ground facilities anyway. Fresh water is available to fill your holding tanks. Dump stations are easily acceptable as are water filling stations Big Boopers restaurant is a great place for breakfast lunch or dinner. If you do t feel like cooking it’s about a 10 min drive. Campground has very good WiFi. We have Verizon had very good reception inland and I. The islands. Bass island is a fun day trip. Sites were level left to right. Had a slight pitch front to back.

Guide to Temperance

RV campgrounds near Temperance, Michigan sit within Monroe County, a flat terrain area with elevations ranging from 571-594 feet. This southeastern Michigan region experiences warm summers with average highs near 82°F and cold winters averaging 27°F. Most camping options are located 15-20 miles from Temperance proper, with highest availability from April through October.

What to do

Lake swimming and fishing: Sterling State Park Campground offers direct Lake Erie access with sandy beaches. "The park also has several public access areas and beaches. Hiking and biking trails are also present," notes one camper. Water activities vary seasonally with one visitor mentioning, "Not a lot of shade on the sites!"

Go-kart racing and games: Families can enjoy entertainment at Harbortown RV Resort which features recreational amenities beyond camping. "This campground has everything! Go carts, playground, disc golf, pool, ext... Just a one night stay to visit A friend. If you have kids it is perfect!" writes Noel L. Another camper adds, "Right next to camping is go karts, putt putt and arcade. We had a blast!"

Hiking and biking trails: Multiple trail options exist along Lake Erie. "There's a bike path that will take you all the way to the Historic Rasin River Battlefield and then to downtown Monroe," shares one visitor about Sterling State Park. At Camp Lord Willing, trails offer easy walking routes for day hikes around the property.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many campers appreciate well-maintained grounds in the area. At Cedarlane RV Resort, visitors note superior cleanliness: "The pools and bathrooms were clean. The water pressure in the shower house was lacking but I've realized that seems to be at every campground we've stayed at." Another reviewer states Cedarlane is "beautiful and friendly" with well-kept common areas.

RV-specific amenities: Full hookup options dominate the area's campgrounds. "There are full hookups as well as power only sites," notes one Sterling State Park camper. The concrete infrastructure at several parks receives positive mentions with one visitor reporting Harbortown has "all concrete roads and pads."

Family-friendly activities: Pools and playgrounds feature prominently across multiple locations. At Camp Lord Willing, one camper describes it as a "peaceful friendly environment with seasonal and experienced campers." Cedarlane RV Resort gets high marks for family options with a reviewer noting they have "a little bit of everything" including "a splash pad and wading pool for kids."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate April through October with limited winter options. "Sterling is open April 1 to November 6," notes one camper. Blue Heron Ohio Turnpike RV Lot offers year-round overnight parking, with one visitor describing it as "simplicity at its finest. Highway stop is open 24 hrs so you have food and bathrooms all night."

Weather impacts: Rain can affect camping conditions significantly. According to Wayne County Fairgrounds visitors, "When it rains several campsites get very wet!" At Sterling State Park, campers should prepare for "very windy" conditions, as one regular visitor noted they've "never been to this park when it wasn't very windy."

Insect activity: Lake Erie proximity means seasonal insect hatches. "First two nights were perfect but then the may flies hatched (in mid June) and covered everything," reports one Sterling State Park visitor. Mosquitoes are prevalent during summer months, particularly near wooded sites.

Tips for camping with families

Pool options: Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA features a small lake with swimming areas. "Pretty views of the lake from the lake sites. We have camped here for years. Love the trail around the lake," shares a regular visitor. Multiple campgrounds offer swimming pools as alternatives to lake swimming.

Budget activities: Several campgrounds provide free or low-cost recreational options. "We went mothers day weekend and had a great time. Mother's day activities were great and were free!" reports a Harbortown visitor. Community gardens are available at Wayne County Fairgrounds where campers can "pick from vegetables" according to reviewers.

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some locations. At Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA, a visitor warns about "completely flooded" conditions after rainfall. Another visitor to Harbortown notes noise challenges: "Another big issue is how close it is to the expressway which is noisy and there are trains that go by during the night."

Tips from RVers

Big rig accessibility: Wayne County Fairgrounds RV Park accommodates large RVs with specific site layouts. "The roads are wide and a lack of trees makes this campground accessible for any size RV," shares a visitor. At Sterling State Park, "the pull throughs are huge. The park is enormous with lots of fishing activities."

Hookup variations: Electric service varies between parks with some offering 30-amp while others provide 50-amp connections. "You need cash to pay for the electric at a machine and then you get a ticket to display in the dash," explains one visitor about Blue Heron's overnight RV lot.

Site spacing: Proximity between sites differs significantly among area campgrounds. "The sites are not huge and a little close together but very nice and well maintained," mentions a Cedarlane visitor. At Harbortown, one camper observes, "We have a 21' camper and the sites feel small."
