Cullens RV Park
Guys this is just a little small spot right off the highway by an old run-down not even open store. It has maybe 6 spots. It’s definitely not scenic. It looks like a “we need to stop now and not set up anything” kind of place. It looks directly out to hwy 49. Did not stay here just drove past.

Lake Perry Campground
Nice but very small and limited
There’s only one site big enough for our l shaped canopy tent and since you cannot reserve you have to get there and hope it’s open. For small tents it’s great, but make sure you have an inverter to convert to 110. The sites are also on a hill so almost all the sites are at a slant except the actual small pad area for each site. It would be a really tight fit for even small RVs
The bathrooms are single occupancy and really need updating, but they aren’t “dirty” just old. They are not climate controlled.
For small tents camping and for those very confident in the rv maneuvering skills, this is a little gem. For anything else, you might find yourself in a really tight spot.

Paul B. Johnson State Park Campground
Beautiful
This is a beautiful lakeside campground with lots of sites. It’s a larger campground that caters to RVs of all sizes, but is great for tent camping too! They allow tent camping in the “RV pads” but even better is they don’t make you pitch your tent on the concrete or gravel. You can pitch your tent in the grass. They also have a really really nice primitive area without hookups, but has water really close. It’s well maintained and shady all day.
The lake is beautiful. There is fishing and kayaking and boating. They do rent kayaks but idk how much. There are piers to fish off of.
This is a beautifully maintained park, but the BEST part for this tent camping gal? The bath houses ARE CLIMATE CONTROLLED!
To me this is kind of the best of both worlds. Enough nature to not feel like you’re in an rv resort, but all the amenities of one.

Well laid out park on the river.
Park layout is nice with probably 150 sites +/-. Some are close together. Others are well spaced and situated for some privacy. No one on site at night so when it gets loud or rowdy, you're on your own.
