This is a nicer KOA south of Cleveland and just east of Cuyahoga National park. I was on a road trip to the Rock and Roll hall of fame museum and I used this instead of a hotel stay. Plus it had the bonus of a national park a few miles away.

The site was as to be expected from a KOA. I had to get an electric site since I use a CPAP machine so I was placed next to pop up trailers and a few tents. The sites are right on top of each other so either you can handle that or not. Most times you will not see your neighbors if they have a big trailer next to you anyway. Plus this to me is still better than a hotel room.

The KOA itself has a lot of amenities standard to KOAs: Showers, clean bathrooms, a small store etc. There were 3 small ponds on site and games /parks for the kids. There was also security with a gate.

Not a bad place to stop for a night during a road trip.

I did this park as last minute overnight so I had almost no choice of site as it was already mostly booked. I was pleasantly surprised.

I had visited the park before but this was my first time camping here. Much like other WI state run campgrounds, the sites are well maintained.

The campsite I stayed at felt very secluded even in a full campground. Trees and bushes block line of sight to the other campsites. Sound however still carries really well. So you may not see your neighbors, but you will hear them! There was enough space for a few tents or one great big one. The mosquitos either had not come out yet or the bat houses placed around the park really work, as I had no mosquito problems at all.

The park itself has some nice hiking trails, most of which you can get to right from the campgrounds. The namesake lake is also a good feature, although a bit bland for kayaking or canoeing. There were a lot fishermen out when I kayaked it so it may be good for those who fish. A definite highlight is the Wildlife loop hiking trail. It lived up to its name when I visited, seeing deer, frogs, toads and numerous birds.

Overall, it's a nice state park in an area of the state lacking in options. And the man made lake is a nice feature.

I had never been to Sleeping Bear Dunes before and I choose this campground based solely off of online choices. Also it was further south so I had less driving to catch the ferry back to WI the next morning.

I was very surprised at the well set up campsites and roads into the campground. Staff was very friendly, but this was also the beginning of the season, so the place wasn't busy either.

I was very surprised to find there are free showers available and they were actually warm! The site itself was moderately large. I could have fit 2 4 person tents comfortably or 3 smaller tents. Maybe more if you don't use the fire ring. The site was also fairly isolated from neighboring sites, I could hear other people but not see them for the most part.

There is also a trail that leads to Lake Michigan at one of the campground that was very nice.

This was my 1st trip to Acadia NP and I choose the site based on nothing more than looking online. It turned out to be a great campground on the quiet side on the island. The site was good and on par with other national park sites I had been at. Having the shore a short walk away was nice as well.

There are many oppurtunities for hiking, biking, shopping and of course lobster everywhere!

There are a lot of sites at this campground. I was hesitant to book here because with so many campsites I thought I would be camping too close to other sites. But I was proven wrong!

The site I choose was mostly out of necessity as I booked late and got the last site available. But it was secluded enough that we could only see the people across from from us. The bathrooms were the standard modern variety with showers as well.

The park itself is huge with plenty to keep you busy from hiking along cliffs to swimming to biking. In fact when I go back again I will have to bring my bike.

Newport State park is a great place to take a short backpacking trip to quiet campsites that are near lake Michigan. I haven't been able to score a site yet with lake access but have heard there are some. The sites I have booked have both been large enough for 3 2-person tents and have a food storage bin in each.

If you are new to backpacking and want to try out your pack before heading off on a multiday excursion, I would highly recommend coming here 1st.

The rest of park offers a nice beach and some playground equipment for the kids.

We camped on the north campground loop (non-electrical) which has great water front sites. We are planning another trip up here during the weekday for a little more quiet experience. The trails are great with lots of wildlife spotted and many views of the rivers. The only downside was the crowds and noise. We went there on a Friday night and the sites were packed with campers. It does not appear that this state park adheres to the 6-person per site limit as many sites had about 10 people per site. The campground hosts are on the southern loop so maybe that part is quieter. Overall I would still recommend this, especially if you are a kayaker or canoe camper, as some sites had places to launch from.

My friends and I camp here often as it is close to Madison, yet far enough away to be more secluded. The sites are are better than some of the state park sites with tent sites offering more privacy than the electric ones. There is plenty of hiking trails around the park with some great rock formations to explore. There is also swimming areas, concessions and a very helpful staff.
