The well advertised places seem to be ok. But, when on a trip, we'd look for the nice looking campgrounds, off the highways. We'd check in our Triple A Camping booklets, and mostly always found good nice places to stay
Several Pennsylvania State Parks were NOT well maintained Kids had the run of the place, destroyed the wash-rooms, rode bikes thru the flower beds, forced folks off the walkways!
most places we found in the camp books were ok, but did drive 15 miles to find one place closed.
The privately owned camp-grounds were the best. |

| I live in the Northwest where we have some gorgeous, well-taken-care-of campgrounds. My favorite place to camp is on the coast, with a little bit of wind protection like dunes or a line of thicker trees) and easy access to the beach. I love the smell, and fresh air, and I love campfires. I also think it's more fun to make meals of fresh seafood when at the beach. I like camping on the mountains too, as long as there aren't too many mosquitos, and my favorite campsites have a lake or river or babbling creek. I'd love to camp on the other side of the range of mountains - where it's high desert - and right up near one of the wild rivers (e.g. Deschutes River in Maupin, Oregon, where the whole place smells like sage) because then you have warm and dry with coolness from river and it's incredibly serene...EXCEPT that they don't allow campfires half the time because it's so dry, which sorta defeats the purpose for me! |

| I am partial to Michigan camping, with my favorite being Ludington State Park on Lake Michigan. The park is enormous with sand dunes on Lake Michigan and a beautiful river with a dam where people fish, tube, canoe etc. The salmon come to spawn there in the fall and it is a great place to be at that time. Hamlin Lake is also in the park as well as Lost Lake, which is great for kayaking and fishing. The park has a lot of beauatiful nature trails with lots of wildlife to see. Since it is such a great park, it is also very popular and hard to get into. The actual campgrounds are usually crowded, but there are some great sites that we like to reserve. |
