A friend’s daughter was graduating from Ohio State, so we decided to make it a camping outing. 

The campground at Alum Creek State Park is laid out very well for RV’s.  The pads are level, pretty deep and have enough trees between sites that it feels private.  The sites had electricity only, but the shower house was nearby and nice enough. 

That’s about the best I can say about Alum Creek State Park.  Oh, and it’s 15 minutes from IKEA.  There was a dog park that was big enough and had a beach access dog park for water dogs.

Alum Creek State Park has water-based fun.  There are several boat ramps, so fishing and boating are the big attractions.  It’s a state park, so there are hiking trails.  I didn’t notice any bike trails.

Devil’s Lake State Park in the Wisconsin Dells is lovely.

Red River Valley Campground

Even with WiFi at Madison Campground, once Sparky was settled, there wasn’t much to do, so I went to bed around 9:30.  Even though it was 38^o F at night, the electric heater kept it warm enough.  I woke up around 3:30 am, and didn’t think I’d go back to sleep.  On this mission, driving and sleeping  were the only productive activities, so I decided to leave for Fargo.

Google says the first leg of the trip is 502 miles and should take less than 8 hours.  I’m skeptical.

We spent four days at East Harbor State Park.  We arrived on Wednesday in October, so that meant that for the first few days, the park was pretty empty.  On the downside, the weather was mostly rain.  East Harbor is North of Sandusky and South of Put-in-Bay.

We spent three days at Pier-Lon campground.  It’s on the West side of Medina, so pretty close and not far from I-71 so easy to get to.   Pier-Lon has a lot of green space, play ground and full setup for $50 per night.   There is a big pond with a beach and is a great place for kids.  Alcohol isn’t permitted, so it is setup as a family destination.
