Campground recommendations?

When I was younger I used to camp pretty much every weekend. Everywhere within 3 hours or so. I wouldn't want to recommend anything as they probably changed alot. But If you want something close and cheap look into Thomas Woods in Marango. Nice sites and scenery. Quiet for the most part. Only downsides they only have a few electric sites and no public showers. But if you have a RV not really an issue?
My parents had a camper when I was a kid. The Jellystone campgrounds were always really nice. The one is Wisconsin Dells is great.
If you don't mind a bit longer of a drive, Timber Ridge in Traverse City, Michigan is super nice. It used to be a Jellystone probably 15+ years ago. The new owners kept all of the amenities and improved on them. Nice and secluded area, really nice pool, mini golf, beautiful hiking trails, and activities for kids. It's a short drive from the beach and downtown Traverse City. My parents still go up there a couple times a year. They also have nice cabins if you want to get away but don't feel like hauling the trailer on such a long drive.

I’ll have to check this out. Sounds like a nice weekend trip.When I was younger I used to camp pretty much every weekend. Everywhere within 3 hours or so.

I’ve heard great things about the Traverse city area. I’ll have to add Timber Ridge to my list. Thanks
We just met up with friends at cliffside in Racine last weekend (we were staying at Jellystone Caledonia) $30 a night self register. Water and electric hookups. Some big 5yh wheels and motorhomes didn't appear to have an issue on their sites. My buddies 34' bumper pull fit fine and plenty of room in the site. It's on our list. But I didn't see a beach and it's a Racine county park so no pool
I got a spot up in Riverbend, in Watertown, WI. It's a really nice campground w/restaurant, tiki bar, water park, ponds for fishing, allows golf carts, etc. It's not easy to get for a seasonal spot, but they do have rental sites as well to try it out for a weekend if you want to check it out:
