Great Place to camp
People are friendly around there, and the prices are cheap. Campgrounds are nice and clean, and so are the showers.
Fox den at Chain o Lakes
Fox den at Chain-o-Lakes state park provides a more secluded camping experience than Honeysuckle or the 2 tent camping areas. Pads are pretty level, and each site has some semblance of privacy from other campers (our site was protected on 3 sides by some fairly dens foliage and trees). Electric is easily accessible, and water / sanitary is easy to get in and out of.
The concessions/ camp store is located near the boat docks and is easily walked or driven to with decent selection of foods, gear, and fishing items.
Bathhouse could use to be cleaned a bit more regularly but overall a pleasant experience for the price. Recommend staying.
Great no frills campground
Always a good time. No frills, but plenty of nature, secluded sites and fishing/boating.
