Metamora-Hadley State Recreation Area (SP). Site number 121.

Generally small, unlevel sites. However, this time of year, nobody there during the week. Quiet, peaceful place.

We prefer well shaded spots.

We pretty much had Lost Lake in Northern Wisconsin to ourselves. One other camper on the opposite end of the campground.

If we only had places like this in our part of the country.

One more and I will call it quits for now..

Presque Isle Campground for four nights in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Lake Superior is behind us and down about 200 ft from the bluff that the campground sits on. Each night there were only 3-5 tent campers here and 1 or 2 RV's in a campground with nearly 100 sites! This campground is rustic with no power, shower houses or modern bathrooms. The modern campground on the other side of the park was nearly full. No thanks we like it rustic and quite.

Heap64, oh yeah, the dry or maybe power only CGs are sooo much nicer. The FHU CGs are all the same, little site separation & expensive.

Sitting in one right now for an on site bluegrass festival, just power hooked up. Got a stupid little yappy dog in the next site barking its dumb head off everytime I step outside.

Oh well, a couple nights of this & we move to dry camping at a National Seashore CG & have wild horses for company.

On the way to NYC, we stayed for several nights at Mahlon Dickerson Reservation in New Jersey. A very nice park, with water and electricity for $20 a night. Here's our Roadtrek on site 16:

We were told that on the previous night, there were four bears (and several police cars!) on site 12. Imagine, bear country that's relatively close to the Big Apple!
