    FlowMama Trail Head Dispersed

    Free parking, no water, no gray dump, no trash.

    This is the trailhead for a very beautiful mountain biking trail and the roads that lead up to this area are incredibly gorgeous especially in the fall. The red building in the pictures is an emergency cabin. You can go in it and look around if you want. It's not at the trailhead, it's about 10 minutes from it on your way in.

    Afterhours Meadow

    Quiet but rough terrain

    Nice little field. Would be great if the groud wasn't all sticks and thorns. Good place to sleep. Not for extended camping

    Eagle Point Park

    Quiet lake campground

    I stayed here one night while traveling. The bathrooms seemed fire. I could not find a dumper on site. There is a dump station. Plenty of tent only camping areas. All sites require some leveling. Some of the sites have water hookups. Lots of people use the park during the day. It was very quiet at night.

    There is a coffee shop about a 20 minute walk from the park. There is a public swimming beach less than a 10 minute walk from the park.

    You might be able to get a large rig into the first few spots. But if you try to drive the loop around to the other sites, you might not make it. But I did not have trouble in my 25 foot motor home.

    I had great 5G signals from Verizon and T-mobile here.

    Perch Lake Recreation Area

    4 Night Stay

    We reserved site #4 on the North Loop at Perch Lake Campground - a wonderful place to stay. The sites are relatively private, some have little pathways connecting them. Our site was flat but gravel. Had direct access to the water, which made this site perfect for Kayaking. It appeared most sites had an access point to the water. There’s also a boat launch. There are pit toilets, which were clean and maintained. Downside is there are no showers, have to drive a while to find some. The campground is quiet and provides a relaxing environment. The stars are beautiful at night. No T-mobile cell service within 20 minutes.

    Lucius Woods County Park

    Beautiful Campground

    The site we had was difficult to back our 32’ camper into. The bathrooms and showers are very clean. A swimming beach, hiking trails and playground are available. Entertainment is available on Saturday nights but we are not staying on a Saturday night. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful.
