3 sites great for a group

Did some fall camping with friends, and there were 4 family’s. 3 of them stayed in these three sites which were fairly wide open and kind of looked over the lake. They would be great sites to book as a group, but I wouldn’t recommend them to book individually as you wouldn’t have much privacy, more so in the middle site. These three sites are E, F, and G. Bit if a corner site and you are next to some private homes.

Great location and plenty of space

I have came here a couple times with friends for fall camping. The campground doesn’t have a lot of extra amenities, but still a nice simple campground to be in. There are a mix of sites that have a little more privacy, and others that are wide open which would be better for group setups.

Cute park

We enjoyed camping here. Would go back. There’s a couple sites that are absolutely huge! The lake water has being rising and the beach is almost swallowed up which is lame because it used to be sooo nice! The water is still swimmable and it’s great for kayaking. The steps are rough going to the water won’t lie.

County park with camping

This a small county park in Portage County, camping was $14 per night and was not full. There was shelters, playground and a lake to swim. But the trail to the lake was down a hill, either by stairs or another route. After having fun on the beach, you got to remember you have to go back up that hill with all your beach stuff. Sleeping at night, better hope you use to noise! Highway 10 and the train runs right near this park, so not quiet at night.

Lake Emily Campground is a typical county park campground.

Lake Emily campground is very clean. The campsites have a lot of trees and there is actually a park ranger and check-in station. This is an unusual feature for a lot of county parks. You usually find a self check-in at a lot of county parks. This is a nice place if you just want to park your camper in the woods and relax playing board games with your family of friends.
