The sites are gravel and fairly close together, but our neighbors managed to squeeze a second RV in with them, so maybe not too close together. There are trees scattered around, so I wouldn’t classify it as a parking lot, but they don’t really provide much privacy. You do have room for awnings and slides. There are no picnic tables or fire pits at the sites, but there is a large shared fire pit near the bathhouse.

The bathrooms are a toilet and shower in each gender neutral room. Showers are $2 for 4 minutes. There is a small laundry room, $2.50 to wash and $2.00 to dry.

Check in was quick and easy and access wasn’t too bad. Our hookup is 30 amp and water, but the dump station is convenient on the way out.

The location is convenient to the small, very quaint town of Talkeetna. We walked in and there are many nice shops and restaurants to choose from. I was surprised just how busy it was.

It’s located next to a small airport and the train tracks. Alaskan train conductors really like their horns!

For what it is, it’s not a bad park.

This now called Sandusky Milan RV Park.

We stayed here one night traveling east. It’s pretty easy from the turnpike, because of Covid (I assume) the office was closed, but our site assignment was outside. Someone came by and asked if we needed help, when I asked if we needed to unhook our toad, he looked at our site number and said he would reassign us. Our new site was very easy to get into and relatively level. Personally, I think the original site wasn’t bad, but this was an easier exit for us. We paid for a 30amp/water site, we were moved to a 30amp/FHU for no extra fee. We only used the electric, since we were here one night.

They are obviously doing a lot of work, they are moving gravel around for the site, making them more level. The park looks very nice, it’s just the surrounding area is a little unattractive and there was a smell, asphalt maybe? The park has nice trees, grass between sites with plenty of room to spread out a little. They have electric water and primitive sites that are in a beautiful area with lots of tree cover. I’m not sure if the are renting them, or if they have plans for them, but it’s a nice area for group gatherings.

The pool was open, and looked inviting. The bathhouse was super clean, but only one shower in the ladies room. We appreciated the extra effort of moving our site, so that upped my opinion.

I’ll be curious to see the improvements they make, so far the park looks great!

Looking for a campground near Cleveland wasn't very easy, but we found Maple Lake. It's not very close, but it's not a bad drive into the city.

The campground is pretty easy to find and the road to the entrance is easy, even with a big rig. There is a gate and you have to contact the office via the call box so they can open the gate. Check-in at the office was easy and fast, directions to our site were straight forward. Our site felt a little small at first glance, partly because the pad was just wide enough for an RV, but we had a lot of room behind the RV that made it feel more spacious. The area we were in had few trees and lots of nice grass, but we had a tree at the front of our site.

We had a little problem with our satellite and the tree, when the wind blew it would lose HD and switch to SD and sometimes lose the signal all together. Our neighbor suggested flagging down the maintenance guy in the truck, who just happened to be driving by. He came back right away with a saw and cut back quite a few branches, and that helped, but he returned later with a bucket to cut back even more branches. We were impressed with the rapid response.

Our site was back in, as were most, but there were a few pull thru's, it's very big rig accessible. We had a firepit and picnic table at our site, the firewood at the office/store was reasonably priced. The pool looked inviting, but we didn't go in. We had a good AT&T signal on our phones, but we didn't try Verizon.

I haven't been to a park where pets weren't allowed, and they are at this one, but only at your own site. You are not supposed to walk your dog around the campground. I guess people weren't picking up after their pets, so they banned them anywhere other than your own site.

The park was fairly quiet, with a little road noise at night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

We chose Timber Trails because of its proximity to Traverse City. The entrance has plenty of room to park while checking in. The process was fairly quick and easy, they issue you a key card to get through the entry gate. Most, if not all, of the sites are pull thrus, so it was easy to get into our spot. The pad is gravel and our site had a cement patio with 50 amp and full hookups. We had a little trouble getting the RV into a level spot, but we managed and didn't need blocks. The rest of the site, and most of the campground, is dirt, which made me really appreciate the cement patio. Lots of tall trees around, but no privacy. You have ample room for slides at your site, but you are still pretty close to your neighbors.

There is one paved road that runs through the park, but several unpaved roads. Lots of dust if you are on one of those roads. The park is huge, but the pool isn't that big, so you end up with lots of people in the pool. There are also cabins and we noticed a yurt go up just down from us (it was occupied, but we didn't see it on the website).

We had no wifi at our site, but we had 2-3 bars and LTE on our AT&T phones and 4 bars and LTE on our Verizon Jetpack. There were too many trees for satellite, even our portable one, but they had cable so we could watch the Olympics.

This is a super busy campground on weekends, but it clears out during the week. It's very popular with families with a lot for kids to do. They have a pool, that was quite busy while we were there, a bicycle course, dodge ball games and four wheel peddle bikes to rent. They also have various activities for the kids, like a glow parade (allowing them to sell glowy things), and some crafty activities. We also saw a wedding taking place, so a lot goes on here.

We really enjoyed the area; Traverse City, Charlevoix, Leelanau and Mission peninsulas. There is a lot to do here and some great food. The closest restaurant is Peegeo's and I can recommend their chargrilled wings, awesome! But, our pizza was a little soggy and the lasagna bland. Still, go for the wings!

We wanted to extend our stay and checked with the office. She said that Friday was full, but we might be able to get two extra days at the same site if she could move things around. I was impressed, she made the effort and we stayed until Friday. By then the campground had filled up again.

It's not my favorite place, pretty dusty and lots of kids, but the location was nice and we even had an ice cream from the store. I would stay again if we returned to the area.

This was our second Georgia State Park, so we were familiar with the process, you reserve a site by size and/or hookups and you can choose an empty one, meeting those requirements, after you check in. Check in was easy and the clerk gave us an overview of which sites would be appropriate for our rig. We have a 38' fifth wheel and were hoping for a 40'+ site with 50 amps. We started by driving thru the lakefront sites, but the site we wanted was taken, so we decided to head towards the other loop that she said had more sites that would suit us. This is a large campground, with multiple loops, some inside of others. The roads throughout the campground are narrow, single lane, with washouts on both sides in many places and trees sometimes in places that make it difficult for a larger rig to get through. That said, we made it out of this loop and headed to the next one. Georgia had seen about a solid week of rain before we arrived at FDR and many of the sites had flooded areas, so that limited our choices as well. We eventually found a site that we could back into and we started hooking up. The site was not very level and our leveling system balked a little, but we got it figured out. The site we chose was a 30 amp site, with two 30 amp hookups. The first we tried didn't work, so we hooked up to the second one, which worked until out AC kicked in, when it popped it's breaker. We reset it, but it was very hot, so we contacted the park and they sent someone over, who ultimately replaced both. So, all was well. There are no sewer hookups, but there are gray water dump areas throughout the campground, although most didn't seem convenient to any particular sites. The electric and water hookups were convenient to each campsite.

When we don't have sewer hookups, we use the bath house and, although they are fairly old, they were clean. There was no washer/dryer, but we were ok with that. The park is huge and there are lots of hiking trails and the drive through the center of the park was beautiful. We drove to Warm Springs and visited the Little White House one day and Callaway Gardens another. The closest town is Pine Mountain and there are a couple of restaurants, a liquor store (pretty pricey), grocery and hardware store, so if you need something there are places for that.

After driving around, minus the fifth wheel, we found many other sites that we would be happy in, especially once the water level went down. We enjoyed our stay and would consider returning in the future.

We stayed here to be close to Little Rock, and the drive into the city wasn’t that bad.

Checking in was easy, we were fortunate that the hosts at the gate looked at our rig and suggested we might be more comfortable in another site. There was a first come, first serve site available. We decided to look at our original site first and we’re very glad that they recommended another site. There are two trees directly across from each other, right next to the pad in the middle of the site. The trees have broken the pavement and the pad slopes downward in front of the trees. The fire pit is on one side of the site, the picnic table is on the backside. I think it’s a buddy site because they share part of the driveway. Even though it listed as a long site, our 39’ 5th wheel and truck would be hard pressed to fit. That site is C7.

We drove to the no reservations loop, only two sites were free, the hosts had recommended E4. We had no trouble getting in, the site was level and we had more than enough room to park the truck. We really enjoyed it! We just wished it was cooler so we could enjoy sitting outside more, but we were grateful for the shade of the trees. Of course that meant we couldn’t get satellite, but we didn’t miss it.

It appears the no reservations loop is popular, we saw many people drive through before heading to their sites. It’s shady with quite a bit of space between sites. Some have a view of the river.

We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, especially when the weather isn’t as hot.

We stayed in the area for a few nights to visit Winnebago. The campground is a little off the beaten path, we followed the directions on the website, but it is a nice area and very quiet.

We had a pull thru site, lots of room for our rig and truck and nice grassy spot for our living space. No trees, so satellite worked great.

Check in was quick, easy and friendly. The owner told us about the farmers market in town, which we appreciated. It was a small market, we bought a few items and enjoyed walking around the small town.

Full hookup site, all worked well. We would stay here again if in the area.

When you pull in there is a long driveway where you can easily park your rig to go in and register. We were given directions to our campsite and that brought us the wrong direction into our pullthru, so we double checked with the office and got directions for the best way to approach our site. The campground layout is a little confusing, with the pullthru sites alternating direction. Our site was dirt and more dirt, with lots of trees around and overhead. We had ample room between spots and enjoyed our firepit one evening.

The roads throughout the campground were easily navigated with our fifth wheel, so I would think most rigs wouldn't have a problem. We had a full hookup site, but with 30 amps, there are some 50 amp sites, but not all have sewer, so it's a mixed bag. We were in the shade and it wasn't super hot, so that was fine. In the front of the park there are several spots in the grass without any tree cover. I'm not sure what kind of hookups they have, but it's an option if you want satellite and don't mind being close to the road, we didn't even bother trying our satellite.

We didn't use the bath house, but they looked clean. There was a laundry facility, but it was closed when we were there. They have a nice swimming pool and basic playground, to help keep the kids occupied. We had no wifi at our site, but our Verizon Jetpack worked fine (I used our booster). AT&T was unusable at the campground, but worked fine in town.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again, my biggest complaint is the road and sites are all dark dirt. I made the mistake of walking up to the office in flip flops and decided closed shoes are best.

This RV park is located just off 101 and has convenient access to the Larkspurs ferry into San Francisco, which is the best reason to stay here. The sites are quite tight, it is basically a parking lot with gravel pads and no trees. We were fortunate enough to get two sites, one for our 5th wheel and one for our truck and we were grateful for the extra space. The sites are marked off with railroad ties and can be difficult to get into, but don't let that discourage you.

Upon checking in we received a lot of information about the area and getting into SF. The front desk was very helpful with our questions. The walk to the ferry is about 15 minutes, they give you a ferry schedule upon arrival, use it! The park have full hookups, so I didn't use the restrooms or showers, but my husband used then men's showers. You have to leave a $10 deposit for the card to use the shower, which you get back when you return the card. My husband said that two of the four showers were not operational. There are also showers and restrooms available at the pool area, I didn't visit those so I don't know what shape they were in. The park has a large laundry facility that is clean and fairly convenient. There are many washers and dryers and sizes range from large to extra large to really extra large. Prices vary, depending on hot or cold water and the size of the washer/dryer. There is a large table in the center for folding laundry.

The pool was open while we were there and our granddaughter used it once. It's small and can get quite crowded. I wouldn't call this a campground, it's really a parking area for visiting the area. There is little to no space to entertain outside, we didn't spend anytime outside at our site, even with the extra space.

One last thing, access to the park from the interstate can be confusing. We came from the North and decided to pass the first exit and continue to the one past the park. You exit, turn left and get back on the interstate heading North, taking the Lucky Drive exit to get to the park. Even this exit was a little confusing, keep right and be prepared to exit right rapidly. From there it's an easy left turn with the park being on your right.

I'm not in love with this park, but it's San Francisco and the easy access to the ferry made it a great location.

We were apprehensive about this park after reading the reviews. The entrance was typical of a Thousand Trails, in need of repairs. Parking for check in and the check in process was easy, as usual you have to drive around and decide what sight you wanted. We started in the loop with the pull thru's and decided to try the other loop that was available to us. There were a couple other sites that were empty, but they were taken by annuals.

The site was not ideal, but we liked it better than the pull thrus. It looked a bit short, so we thought that we could angle it in. The pads are gravel based, but the outline is difficult to see. We ended up in the grass on one side and severely tilted on that side. We decided we needed to be more on the pad, we still needed blocks to level, but we managed to get level, but we left some pretty bad ruts behind. There had been a lot of rain in the area, it had dried up quite a bit by the time we arrived, but it was still bad. We were told the person that was in our site before us had to be towed out.

We had 50 amp FHU, but the hookups were on the opposite side of our rig, so we needed two fresh water hoses and our two sewer hoses barely reached. That isn't the case with all of the sites, just every other one, at least in our area. In addition, our sewer hookup was larger than the standard connector, making a seal impossible. We did not have a fire ring or a picnic table, but I suspect our table was one of the two on one of the empty annual sites. We probably could have had one moved to our site, but because of our sightseeing plans and predicted rains we decided to pass. We were really close to our neighbors, and because all the hookups are located at the back of the sites, their sewer water hoses ran through our site.

The bath house in our area was not open, it appeared that they were doing some work on it, and it really needed some work. We don't use them, so it wasn't a problem for us, but you would have a fairly long walk, or drive, if you needed a bath house. The pool was still empty and the gate was not operational, but we didn't see any people that didn't look like they belonged and felt safe. We had heard complaints of rust in the water, we checked our filter after four days and didn't see any evidence of rust, although the water was a bit soft for my taste. We had good AT&T signal and our spot was open so satellite wasn't a problem. About half of the pull thru sites had too much tree cover for satellite.

The location is convenient, easy access to Port Huron and even the Detroit area. The farmers market in Port Huron is one of the best we've been to and the St. Clair River location is beautiful.

More rain came and even a 1.5 days later there were still puddles under and around our neighbors RV and our grassy area was squishy. I know they can't control nature, but it would be nice if they could spend a little money on better drainage. The morning we left our neighbor moved to another spot that didn't look much better to us, but he felt it was higher ground. He was furious about the condition of the campsites, my husband agreed and thought this was one of the worst sites we have ever had.

I don't think we would stay here again.
