Tips for camping with families

Site selection matters: Research campground layouts before booking. "We booked last minute on a holiday weekend and had like 2 options for a spot. I wasn't happy with our spot but again that's my own fault. I would definitely book ahead and look at the map to find a good spot. Some are very close to neighbors. Others are really nice," advises samantha H.
Tips from RVers
Water hookup challenges: Some RV sites near Bremen have unusual utility configurations. "We appreciated the full hook-ups and pull through site. The staff came through every morning to pick up the trash. But, the water hook ups were accessible through a hole/pipe and we had to 'fish' down to connect our hose," notes Chris C. about Jackson Lake Park.
Wi-Fi availability: Internet access varies across campgrounds. "The Wi-Fi was good but not free and was worth the $2/day to do some late night binge watching," shares Chris C., who found the paid option at Jackson Lake Park worthwhile during their stay.
Pull-through access: Lakeview RV Park offers convenient sites for those traveling through the area. "Staff is very friendly and we got a nice pull through site for a quick stop over my way to upper Michigan. There's a really nice pond and has water activities if you stay longer. Easy in/out," reports Bucky W.
