Looking for an on the lake campground

Hi All, hoping someone one here can give me some suggestions. I am looking to plan our summer vacation, and I would like to find a campground, with full hookups, on a lake. The area I am looking for is somewhere south of PA, and east of the Mississippi. Some of the things we are looking for are:
-campground on the lake, want to be able to walk to lake in minutes
-A decent size lake, with decent fishing, don't want to stay on a small 3 acre lake
-Full hookups
-swimming area close by
-not overly crowded
-other attractions nearby, maybe a water park, or amusement park, but not required.
-A decent restaurant or 2 near by.
-Pontoon Boat rental

Thanks in advance for any of your suggestions, I am hoping some of you in those states will have some good suggestions for me.

    Honeycomb Creek in Guntersville AL, is great. Water front on 69,000 acres of water. Boat rental in the campground. Some of the best bass fishing in the USA.

    Check out the Land Between the Lakes area and Hillman Ferry CG in Grand Rivers which has a few full hookup sites. It's a very popular area. Good eating at Patti's 1890 Restaurant for pork chops and Willow Pond for fish.
