We stopped here because we were driving from Michigan to Maine avoiding the tollways, and based on the 2 previous reviews, it was $20-25/night, which beat the $50 KOA down the road.

We stopped here because we were driving from Michigan to Maine avoiding the tollways, and based on the 2 previous reviews, it was $20-25/night, which beat the $50 KOA down the road. It wound up being $35 a night for the same parking lot experience as the 1-star reviewer, but our time here wasn't quite as terrible.
The parking lot is dirt/gravel and the RV sites are along the edge, marked with electric posts (30/20A), picnic tables, and a water spigot.
At check-in, they literally gave me no information about the park, and said as few words as possible to make the transaction happen. Since I thought it was $20-25, that's the amount of cash I had other than a hund-o. When they said it was $35, I had no choice, and out came Mr. Franklin. I was, of course, hassled for a smaller bill, which I didn't have. The host begrudgingly accepted the legal tender and I was asked if I knew where to go. Of course I didn't because I literally had been given no information about the park or my site. She passed me off to another host, who didn't move very far to point me in the correct direction.
Other than the cold introduction, the park itself is fine, and good for an overnight- it seemed full with seasonal campers otherwise. There is a small lake and a boat ramp. Signs indicate swimming is only allowed with a lifeguard present, but children were swimming anyway with no guard in sight. There was some loud music during the day, but it was very quiet at night and into the late morning. Also, there's plenty of grass and walking area for furry friends. Showers were closed due to COVID-19, I assume. There is probably a dump station, but we didn't need it.

We pulled in and asked if they offered nightly camping. She put us in a parking lot.

We pulled in and asked if they offered nightly camping. She put us in a parking lot. We had water and electric, but our neighboring campers encroached on our space with extra cars so we had to stretch the water hose to the max and I could only JUST unhitch the 5th wheel and level it. She said it would be easier to set up and break camp in the lot. This is a county park built by the Army Corps of Engineers. We normally have had very good look with COE sites. The person running this place has maxed out all sites to seasonal campers so it really is not a good option for an overnight. It was bearable for one night.
