  Lake Hudson Recreation Area

  Spacious sites

  What an absolute gem of a state park. Almost every site is private, with a few exceptions. Nice trails, well built picnic tables, and huge fire pits. Overall a fantastic experience.

  Way Back In Campground

  Do not recommend

  We camped at Way Back campground llc in Michigan for three seasons, initially building strong friendships with the owners and their grandchildren. Our kids would eagerly await our weekly arrivals during the summers, often chatting and playing video games during the off-season. The campground initially offered family-friendly activities like hayrides and crafts.. these dwindled to events that included only our children and the owners' grandchildren, often overshadowed by drunken behavior unsuitable for kids. By the second season, that sense of community soured when the owners' friends/family began uninvited weekend parties on our campsite. Groups would show up, using our firewood and partying late into the night while our kids struggled to sleep, often leaving only after we became assertive and telling them to leave so we could go to bed. This disregard for our family's needs, compounded by other unsettling issues made it clearly evident that Way Back is not a family friendly campground. Our campsite being littered with debris from a previous burned, condemned camper on our lot, promises of cleanup that went unfulfilled for 3 seasons. Obscene drunken adult behaviors in front of children that went unaddressed, only created a growing sense of disappointment. We also faced safety concerns, such as homeless individuals using drugs and living in the campgrounds. Convicted sexual offenders and known drug addicts in the park. Hostile fighting and commotion usually provoked by and instigated by the owners. A lingering presence of inappropriate adults around children at the park. Despite our initial rapport and giving the owners multiple chances to make improvements, issues only escalated, leading us to strongly advise against this campground. (Photos from last day. The glass and Debris has been collected like that every weekend for the last 3 years)

  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.

  If your longer than 40ft be aware most sites will not work for you here, they do have some but the wood line, privacy and nature is great. Lots of activities for the family by camp staff. Water sports and lots of trails

  Indian Creek Camp & Conference Center

  Super friendly staff

  I only stayed one night. I am a tent camper and where I was, it was only me in a fenced in area. I was right next to a cow field. The cows did not moo all night and there was no foul order. I needed no amenities so I can't vouch for that

  Harrison Lake State Park Campground

  Great site!

  Our first time at this park and got lucky with our site. The pad was a little unlevel but easy to fix. The fire ring was fantastic and had pea gravel around it so if it rained it wasn’t a muddy mess. Great site with grass for tents and no one behind us besides a cornfield. We had a sidewalk next to us to the bathroom but there were so many bathrooms we didn’t have very many people pass by. It had pretty decent shade but unfortunately a sweet gum tree nearby so watch out if you’re barefoot. The shower house was nice but no benches in the stall and only had curtains. They were very clean and the camp hosts were friendly. We are headed back in September!

  Sterling State Park Campground

  Nothing seems enforced here

  Stayed 5 days. Had a FHU site, of which there's a lot here. That all worked fine. Almost no trees here. None of the usual painted lines on the pavement to indicate your site boundaries, which sucks. You have to guess, and hope your neighbor doesn't spread out.

  Nothing seems enforced here, and I mean nothing. Rarely saw anyone patrolling the park, never saw any staff checking sites before the next camper came in. My site had dog droppings and cigarette butts in the firepit. Neighbors had FOUR vehicles on site, two more than the rules. Witnessed endless speeding and people going the wrong way on the roads. Without exaggerating, 80% of the cars were going too fast, 75% going the wrong way. No one seems to care or enforces anything. I think the supervisor here should be fired or retrained. I camp in 4 to 8 MI state parks per summer, this is the only one where it felt like no one cares.

  They need some "wrong way" signs and "speed limit 10" signs. (15 is too high, cause 15 means 20 to people, 10 means 15... ). Then they need to care.

  At least the bathrooms were clean.

  You can get TV from Detroit or Toledo, and T-Mobile service was ok.

  Groceries and many dining options not far off.

  We're 50/50 on staying here ever again.

  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.

  Harrison Lake State Park Campground

  Great Campground

  The sites in the tent-only section were well sized and shady. We were on the lake side and were able to get some nice views of Harrison Lake. There were families on either side of us with little kids who were well behaved, albeit a little noisy (i.e a really young child was screaming for about 2 minutes straight non-stop at 9 am until finally the parents said something). Bathroom facilities (single occupancy with shower) were about a 3 minute walk and were clean. Good stay!

  Hayes State Park

  We stayed in a tent on site 32, this was a very nice campground, peaceful, with trails and ample shade. Campsites were decently sized, fire pits were big, $5 per bundle of dry wood, showers were private with hot water, and there were activities and a beach/playground for kids. Checkin/out was simple, and coffee/hot coco was provided by the campsite each morning. Will be returning to this campsite again. I suggest sites 93-96 for more private/shaded sites.

  Great spot!

  Wonderful views from site 117. We booked the last spot of the night. It was an easy pull through with water, electric, and sewer hookup. You are right across from some good walking trails and walking distance to the beach. Lots of electric scooters, dogs, and bikes around.

  Clean Facilities / Great Location

  Sites are large, level, and grassy with vegetation barriers between sites with mowed buddy site access at back of each site. Shower houses are limited but modern and clean. Sunday morning’s line at the dump station can get very backed up!

  Place is a joke, ran by two little piece of shit trolls with a god complex to over come the lack of achievement in there lives. They have zero management skills and even less people skills. Must be overcompensating for something.

  Waterloo Portage Lake Modern — Waterloo Recreation Area

  Vicious dogs not on 6-foot leash as required

  The 6-foot leash rules are very clearly stated. There are many campers whose dogs remain the exception and don't abide by the rules. My leashed dod has been threatened by vicious larger unleashed dogs as I walk my dog more than once this month. So the camp host or ranger should , after warning the offending campers once, call the county animal control. This situation is way out of control.

  Kimpels Hickory Acres

  Decent place, will try again

  There is a Waterpark, pool, and hot tub at this campground you can access for an additional price. I camped in a tent next to the cabin that my sister rented so I'm not sure about the tent sites that are available. There are ALOT of full time campers here so I was under the impression that a good site will be hard to find here, but the bathrooms were good and there were things to do so I will try this place out again.

  Big Modern But Nice

  My family only got to stay here for a night while traveling. But it was very nice, in a modern state campground kind of a way. The sites were spacious, flat, and fairly private. There was plenty of room for riding bikes around, including a paved path to the lake. One that I would go back to.

  Waterloo Sugarloaf Modern — Waterloo Recreation Area

  Nice State Park Layout

  This was a campground that we stayed at on our way to the northern part of the state. This for me, was a place that I would like to come back to for a longer stay. The camp sites were nice, there was a nice swimming area in crystal clear water and a beautiful bathhouse. It had a more modern layout that could accommodate many campers. My only complaint, and the reason that I'll have a hard time talking my wife into going back was the mosquitoes were pretty bad the evening that we were there. Other than that I liked it a lot.

  Nice campground. Sites are close together and sites 60-72 or so are really tent site, not level, and need extension cord for electric. No water hookups. No ATT service.

  Maumee Bay State Park Campground

  Wholesome environment, Mayflies galore

  I had a fantastic and totally welcoming weekend at Maumee Bay State Park with my dog. First time taking him camping and I was so appreciative of the facilities at the campgrounds & the park - I was able to focus on making sure he was comfortable instead of worrying about anything else!

  Campsite neighbors were very respectful - lots of RVers and large family groups. The park store was clean & efficient and the park itself offered coffee & donuts every morning for a dollar. Very sweet!

  One item of note is that there are sooooo many mayflies around - flying, landing on you & your gear, and oftentimes covering the ground around the park. Totally fine if you’re not shy of bugs, but something to be mindful of.

  Weekend getaway

  The cons:

  • sites are very small unless you book an "Eagle" site. There was 7 ft from our stairs to the neighbors camper.
  • you have to pay extra for everything including putt putt. You have to buy your golf balls.
  • not close to any stores if your forgot something
  • gravel roads

  Pros:

  • family owned and operated
  • small campground kid friendly
  • free kid activities
  • everyone was very nice

  Monroe-Toledo North KOA

  Kid friendly / pricey

  They recently drained their swimming pond so there is now no swimming. The nightly price is steep considering you have to pay extra per kid and pet plus if you want to pick your site it's an extra $10. Some sites are small so if you want room you need to pick your site.

  The activities for kids are great but not all are free. The price isn't worth it to us.

  Apple Creek Campground & RV Park

  Great campground for families

  This is a well kept campground that has lots of trees (shady sites) and some nice amenities for kids.  There is a pool and a volleyball area as well as a playground. There is also nice walking/hiking trails connected right to the property. 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. The weather was rainy, so that is probably why we saw so few people too. When we checked in and went to our assigned site, we discovered (new camper) we didn't have a water hose long enough to reach the faucet.  I went back to see if we could get the site right next to it, the owner let us switch without a problem. Most of the sites around us were sandy dirt  with very little to no grass. We paid extra for internet which was decent. The only negative was the morning of the second full day (we had planned to leave the next morning). 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. We were told we could also move sites. We decided that if we were packing up to move sites, we may as well go home a day early which is what we did. When I went to check out and return the scanner card, no one was in the office so I left the card but didn't get to speak to the owner. I really wish we had been informed ahead of time of the electrical maintenance.

  Ohio Gem

  We spent two nights here on our trip to Michigan. We were quite pleased with the campsites and how large they are. You don't feel like you are close to anyone because most sites are surrounded by trees and shrubs. If you are looking to stay more than two nights keep in mind that there are only electric hook ups, so you have to fill your fresh water tank before you set up. Water fill stations are conveniently located throughout the campsite. Don't forget your bikes for this campsite! There are miles of paved bike paths throughout the campsite and a short ride to the lake.

  Lake Hudson Recreation Area

  Great lake views, clean park.

  We were able to reserve a spacious site right on the lake. The park is well kept, the staff is friendly, and the bathrooms were clean.

  As others have mentioned, electrical hookups are far out from on most sites, sometimes around 50-70 ft. Make sure you have extension cords! There are two 15 amp hookups and one 30 amp hookup per campsite.

  Lot 37 & 38 both seemed like the best sites we saw. Lots of space for larger campers. A 28-34ft camper with a Car would fit fine. Both sites have lakefront views and lots of running space for Dogs
