The staff here was extremely friendly.  We did not spend a lot of time at the campground since we were there for the Dells on a long trip from Atlanta, GA to Duluth, MN.  The kids did have a blast in the pond and there is a really nice dog park that our pup enjoyed.  There is also a restaurant on site and a small bar down by the pond that were both closed while we were there (we came in after 4th of July weekend and they were taking some time off after the holiday) but seem like they would be great amenities.  We would definatley stay again if going to the Dells (about 30 min away).  Also, do yourself a favor and stock up at the Lodi Meat Market!

We had so much fun staying here overall.  The downhill mountain biking is awesome (the kids still want to go back) and the Adventure Park was a lot of fun too - and a short walk from camp.  First, the weird thing; our site was setup backwards so we ended up pulling in so we we had space outside our camper, but water/electric was in front of us.  If we backed in the site was so narrow we were walking right into the woods.  We made it work though and not the end of the world.  In addition to the activities onsite, this is a great spot to be able to explore Duluth and the Canal Park area.

This was our 2021 Thanksgiving camp site(on the back end of Laura Walker right before this). This is an absolute gem of a park in the middle of nowhere! The swap is so cool, lots of gators to be seen while we did miles of paddling. There is some hiking too, but it was pretty wet from all the rain they got the week before. Sites are nice and spaced out and while it was a full campground it was very quiet. The camp store was very nice and offers canoe, kayak and motorboat rentals, along with some basic supplies, but remember to bring all your necessitates because it is over an hour out and back to town. Bathhouse was very clean, and all sites seem to have easy access. Most impressive is the stars at night- WOW! We will go back just for the night sky views. 

PROS: 

Quiet, remote camp in the middle of the swamp 

Amazing place to paddle and explore 

No cell service 

The stars at night are AMAZING! 

Miles from civilization 

CONS: 

Miles from civilization(so do not forget any essentials!) 

No cell service (no remote work option here)

This is a very nice little. The is a small lake to paddle and swim and the Nature Trail is a nice and easy hike, about 3 miles going across the lake and back. It is very close to Waycross and Okefenokee Swamp Park with guided boat tours. We stayed on site 26 which is one of 3 25 ft or smaller sites.

We really enjoyed our stay!  My family spent Thanksgiving week here and we all agree it was one of the best!  We were in the back sites which turned out to be great; it was wide, deep, with lots of trees and vegetation around to give our site privacy and a beachy feel.  We were as close as we wanted/needed to be to St. Augustine and a few minute walk to the beach.  We were right by the river and were able to get our kayaks out.  The pool was great and there is a small store on site with the basics.  Just few miles down in Vilano there is grocery stores and restaurants, with even more in St. Augustine if needed.  We did not get a chance to enjoy the 3 restaurants within walking distance but heard from neighbors they were all great.  This is a place we definitely have on the list for future visits (maybe every-other Thanksgiving).  Note, you have to bring your own fire pit with a screen, but we have a @solostove so that is preferred for us anyway.

PROs:  very quite and private site.  The pool was great and our kids spent a lot of time there when we were not at the beach.  The beach across the street was great and convenient but we also spent time at Vilano and St. Augustine beaches.  St. Augustine is a great city to check out; a lot of fun shops and restaurants in the historic downtown, the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, the Alligator Farm was awesome!  We loved driving on Augustine Beach and enjoying the surf.  Even a week there we have a lot of things we were not able to fit in.

CONs: For the price, the bathrooms and laundry are very old and are in need of some remodeling. The trash dumpsters are at the entrance so you have to carry out your trash quite a long way. when you are in the back (this was not a big deal for us, we took it when heading to the pool or beach, but it might be for some people).

A nice base camp to explore Gulf Shores that is located near one of the boat launches, the bike path, restaurants, and beaches. The sites are on concrete pads with Full Hookups but the waterlines are getting a bit brittle so be careful not to break it like we did (and both our neighbors had too) . The amenities include a clubhouse, a pool, and a dog run. The location was great, not as busy as some areas but the ferry traffic did back up one night due to an accident. Overall the park was well kept, with newly renovated bathhouses, and pretty quiet.  We really enjoyed being on the bike path and riding into town to mini-golf and shop the stores.  

PROs: just out of the busy Gulf Shores area offering quiet when you are done with the beach crowd.  Staff was nice and helpful and the renovated bathhouse was great.  Sites were plenty big for us with level pads.  My kids loved jumping on our bikes to go mini-golf and explore the area a bit.  And they loved in the pool and playground.  We had ample space to relax when at camp.

CONs: all the spots are in the open, having some trees or vegetation would be nice for little sense of privacy but we had great neighbors we got to know (we were in the back corner right next to an apartment complex) .  Our area had a little more trash around then I would have expected (all small things and some stuff left in our fire ring - we were in the corner so maybe it all blows over there?  I ended up filling a grocery bag full of bottle caps, cigarette butts, etc). The bathhouse was half renovated so we did have to wait to shower during prime times, but it will be worth it when they are done.  Pool is not heated like some in the area are.  Cannot choose your site, but I believe you can request one if available at check in.

There is so much to do and see here at the park.  For your stay, there is camping, cabins, chalets, and a lodge for accommodations.  There is mountain biking and hiking trails, along with a lake to swim, fish and paddle in; and a pool if you are a overnight visitor.  There is a camp store onsite along with various museums and buildings built by the CCC.  The staff hosted several educational activities and were extremely helpful and informative.  We will definitely be back - actually already plotting with our friends we went with. 

PROs: secluded park but with a lot of outdoor options within the park, Talladega Forrest and Pinhoti Trail.  Many accommodation options.  Great mountain biking, a dog run, playground, events center, etc.  A lot of historical buildings and nature activities.  Breathtaking views, quiet, peaceful, etc…  

CONs: some of the campground sites are right under street lights (these are pointed out on the campground maps) and a few of the pull-though sites have the road in front of your camper (as opposed to behind) leaving no room to use your awning; the picnic table and fire ring are behind/beside your camper.  No cell reception at lower campground (and spotty in general, but in all honesty this is more a PRO unless you have work or other obligations).

This place was great; perfect location, quiet campground, short walk/bike to the beach, full hook-ups.  Site was clean and level.  Not far from all the offerings of 30A (but we were there mostly to camp).  Hit the beach for a beautiful sunset each night.  Biked in the forest across the street and biked up and down 30A a bit.  Definitely planning on coming back sometime.

PROS: Great big, full hook-up sites with a fair amount of privacy

Close to the beach

Close to 3oA and shops

Bike path right out front

CONS: Not too much to complain about - would be nice to be ON the beach but…

So in all fairness this was just a overnight stop for us traveling between Petoskey MI and Silver Bay MN.  We arrived late since we had spent the day on Mackinac Island, but the camp host was nice enough to touch base with us while on the road and make sure everything was ready for our arrival.  Due to the early freezing weather, water and sewer had been unexpectedly, but understandably, disconnected, but they made sure to have a hose ready for us to fill our tank (and the dump station still worked when we left).  She set us up in a big spot with a huge firepit (we actually had 2 spots for the night) and had wood ready for us.  We had a nice quick fire that night while we setup and made dinner.  The next morning it was lightly snowing so we had a fire and breakfast in the falling snow.  We did not get any chance to actually enjoy the area but it seemed like it would be a great place.  Bathhouse was very clean and so was the campground.  Met the owner the in the morning who was extremely nice and helpful in pointing things out and what to do.  If we ever make it to the UP again we would definitely stay (and longer).  He originally set this place up as a hunt camp but people started to want to stay during non-hunting season so he is open till it freezes and opens memorial Day weekend.

PROS:  Nice sized sites

Right out of town but still in the woods

Close to river hiking trails

CONS: Didn't really spend enough time there to see anything negative

This campground was just what we needed for out Nor' Shore adventure.  We ended up staying in a basic site without sewer hook up but for 2 nights that was not supposed to be a big deal.  The basic sites are right off Hwy 66, the full hook-up sites are further back, and seemed bigger in general.  Having lived in Duluth for a few years we had our regular things to do planned but getting snow (in early Oct!) caused us to change it up a bit.  One of those changes involved wandering down to Black Beach (right next to the campground) for the first time and it was awesome; cannot believe in all my trip up the shore I had never been.  That night the snow moved in and we had an great evening around the fire while the snow fell.  We also ended up doing the Alpine Slide at Lutsen and hanging out in Grand Marais the next day.  Before heading to Duluth for a day, we had to use the city RV sewer dump area that is just a couple miles into Silver Bay since we did not get a spot with full hook-ups.  The problem was when we got up there it was not working. And by "not working" I mean it was flooded with nasty-nasty "brown" water.  We didn't want to drive +200 miles with the tanks full so we went back to the campground and dumped in a full hook-up site that was empty.

PROS:  Great location for hitting all the North Shore hot spots.

Reasonable rates

Very clean

Full Hook-up sites are available, and are further off the highway and bigger

Right next to the very unique and cool Black Beach

Right in Silver Bay so option for groceries and restaurants

CONS: City RV sewer dump is not a bad alternative to no onsite dump, but only if it works!

The basic sites are right off Hwy 66 (which was not too bad all things considered), smaller and close together

It is a municipal campground so we didn't expect much but the access to the Little Traverse Wheelway and views of Lake Michigan were awesome - and full hook ups for the price was great.  It has a small bathhouse and the sites are pull-though with back to back setup (so utilities are at the same post as one of your neighbors) but we scored that the 2 sites in front of us cancelled (it was wet, cold, windy and in general miserable weather but we lucked out day 2 and got a bike ride in to Petoskey State Park and a stop at Burnt Marshmallow Brewing before rain rolled back in) so we had a big open space for the kids to bike around on and allowed a view of the lake.

PROS: was really quiet, our neighbor is a regular and was extremely friendly and helpful.  The bike path to Petoskey State Park is right in front of the campground and takes you by the harbor and can branch off into town too.  Really close to downtown (which we did not explore but looks really nice).  We originally planned on staying at the state park but the campsite was half closed due to construction (so it will probably be really nice next year) but this worked out great.  Full hook ups on long pull thru sites for the price was great.  Firewood was available at the check-in kiosk and there is a playground on site.  Bathhouse with showers.  Less than 1 hour from Mackinac Island.  I read mentions of the hospital noise and while trucks unloading during the day was noticeable during the day, we didn't hear anything from there at night - the camp ground did have a transformer that was loud the first night but it was fixed by the next night.

CONS: it is no-frills and could be packed in during summer, but that should be acceptable for the price if you are looking for an easy base camp with access to everything in Petoskey.  The bathhouse was clean but dated.  The campsites look like they did not get a lot of cleanup - I filled a grocery bag full of trash from our site and the 3 open ones next to us.  

Ideal site would probably be as close to the lake as possible - the road in front is not travelled much since it dead ends at the campground.  There was a city facility at the end but it was not open on the weekend and we were told is pretty quiet when it is open.

NOTE: This was our first MI campground as part of out trip from GA to MN via TN-KY-IN-MI-WI-northern MN before staying in MSP for a week, then return via MN-IA-MO-IL-KY-TN-Home.

This campground was very nice and clean and for a packed park was very quiet and we did not feel too close to the sites next to us.  We spent 2 nights here and went mountain biking at Imagination Glen Park in Portage just a few miles down the road which was awesome.  We stopped for a beer at Chesterton and Hunter's Breweries.  The sunset on Lake Michigan from the dunes was awesome.  We walked between the state and national parks.  This was originally a convenience stop along our route but I was impressed with the parks and everything there was to do, very glad we crossed this National Park off the list!

PROS: was very clean, well spread out, had a bathhouse, firewood and basics for sale.  Nice hike to the dunes and Lake Michigan with several trails to choose from.  There is also the Dunes-Kankakee bike trail that leads from the park and ties to the Calumet trail that also connects to several other trails offering miles of bike trail options.  Two dump stations made wait minimal.

CONS: not a whole lot, as is with most IN state parks there is no water hookup so you need to fill you tank up but it was set up really nice.

Did not really scout out an "ideal" site since they all seemed nice and pretty spread out for a state park.  I liked our end of the park that was close to walking path to dunes and beach.

NOTE: This was our second IN State Park campground(first was Clifty Falls) as part of out trip from GA to MN via TN-KY-IN-MI-WI-northern MN before staying in MSP for a week, then return via MN-IA-MO-IL-KY-TN-Home.

We booked a last minute non-electric site for the night in out TT.  We have family in the area so that was the primary purpose of this trip but we have visited Clifty several times and stayed at the hotel once.  There is a really nice outdoor pool (extra fee) but the highlight is all the hiking in the park.  Lots of waterfalls, caves and even though you are basically in town it feels miles away.  This trip we were there at about peak fall colors and it was amazing.  We will be back again (probably yearly) and will stay here.

PROS: Awesome state park for hiking, exploring and an outdoor pool.  Most sites are pretty spread out for a state park.  Facilities and camp sites are clean; indoor restroom with warm showers.  On site hotel has gift shop and restaurant.  Close to historic Madison and the Ohio River offering many things to do.  Couple playgrounds for kids and a nature center with educational programs.  They sell firewood at the campground check in kiosk.  One vehicle per site but there is an overflow are at the campground entrance.  Laundry facility is also at the campground.

CONS: Some spots are on top of each other, mostly in non-electric area and as most IN State Parks, no water hook-up, you have to fill your tank.

Ideal spots would be electric loop - 31-36 (a side loop, no thru trafic) or 14-28/93-104 (back of the loop, more in shade, less traffic).

First thing - this is a RV CAMPGROUND and it will not be for everyone.  There is no bath house so only vehicles with a toilet are allowed (yes, you will have to poop in your trailer).  The roads are also very tight so anything bigger than a 30' may be tough (you actually cannot follow Google/Waze maps or you will get stuck, follow the host directions).

So with that out of the way, this is by far our favorite spot in our RV adventures so far.  While the campground is up near a mountain development, you wouldn't know it when you are in the campground.  The sites are nice and spread out, yet we ended up meeting most of the campers, and they were all great (we even exchanged contact info for future camping adventures with another family).  There is a garden on site you can meander around, grab an apple to snack on, and hang out with the butterflies.  It is very dog-friendly; we were explicitly told we should keep our well-behaved dog off leash.  You are practically between Canton GA, Highlands, NC and Franklin, NC so there is no lack of things to do - NC's biggest zip line is just down the road (we did not partake) but we did lots of hiking (waterfalls everywhere), star gazing (milky way was visible even during a full moon), and sitting around the campfire (cool mountain nights).

Finally, cannot review this site without mentioning the amazing and interesting host Peter who is very friendly and has a ton of insight on what to do in the area.  He can give you directions on the best waterfalls, shops, etc.  Plus he was kind enough to show our kids the garden while we got setup.

We had a great time at this park - we had adjacent spots with freinds in spot 32 and shared a big grassy area between us.  The campground was very clean and the lots in the loop we were on (23-34) we very big and was pretty quiet.  The other lots were smaller but a little more wooded.  The bath house by us was newer than the others and was very clean.  The visitor center had very basic needs and the museum was very eduational about the area, and the staff was very friendly and helpful at both.  We got the kayaks out on the lake and paddled a couple miles plus there are playgrounds all over for the kids to enjoy.  With this being an hour out of ATL we can see this becoming a regular stop.  Next visit we will check out Dauset nature center.

Our friend planned a group family camping trip here.  We had an amazing time and are planning to make this an anual trip  There are 4 group sites that are all pretty big with plenty of space to spread out.  They allow 1 RV per site which is how we camped (17ft TT) but there are no hookups or dump station.  Each site has a large pavillion, massive fire ring, water spigot and toilets.  There is a bath house with warm showers on site.  Near the campsites is a large field that all the kids ran in from sunrise to sunset.  The Nantahala river runs through the campground for fishing and Bartram trail for hiking.  The AT is also near by and several hikes bring you to fire towers for amazing views.  This site is very remote (no cell service) and was very peaceful and relaxing.

Spent Fri-Sun (Aug 28-30) in site #55 on campground #1 loop.  We were on the west side of the loop and the last site directly on the water.  It is a back-in site and was wooded with a nice view.  We loved this spot, so much quieter than the rest of the loop.  This lake is all about boating so most of the sites are already packed in, then throw in most sites have a camper plus a boat on them and it can seem crowded.  From our site we could get in the water and use our SUP boards and swim around.  This spot is right between the bath house and dumpsters - about 2 min walk.  We would definately go back here and stay in the same area we were in.  There is a little beach and dock closer to the visitor center that was a 3/4 mile hike/walk each way (but we just swam at out site).

Would recommend Site #54, pull-through that will have you facing the lake and quiet.

We just picked up our travel trailer on 8/21 and had to give it a trial run. It was hard to find a place that allowed 1 night that still had reservations but based on positive feedback on the Georgia RV FB group I found this place. They have been open 5 weeks and half of it was under construction but it had no impact on the place. It is right along the Coosawattee River on Hwy 411. Sites are big and spread out OK. There are showers on site and a nice playground, and coming soon a real office and 20 more sites. Several full hook up, pull through, river front, etc. The owners are incredibly nice, helped me back in and gave great pointers. They also stopped by to check on everything just before dark.

This park is pretty remote - we couldn't even get cell service from our campsite. The sites are spaced out but small and right across from each other. We had 30/50 amp and water hookup (but were tent camping this time so jot sure if there was a dump station). The facilities were clean but a little beat up. There is a small non-motorized boat lake with a designated beach area. It was very quiet and we had a great weekend and definitely would go again and bring out kayaks/SUPs.

We stayed here while visit Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. This setup is very nice with a great covered picnic table and grill, with a fire ring right next to it. Had a locker for supplies and a nice big pad for our tent. The bath facilities are extremely clean and the only thing missing is showers. The visitors center was great and staff was super friendly. The park itself is beautiful, and the sunsets and being out of Moab to see the Milkyway at night was amazing.
