We are this year new to class A rv'ing. We have a 35 footer and as you all know you just can't take something like that anywhere. My wife and I have drove around in our personal car to check out campgrounds that we think we might like. So, so many of them have the sites so close together it just doesn't look like fun. When we find a place that might be pretty nice, by water and roomy areas per site, we go and find out that the seasonal pretty much trailer home type units have all the real nice spots and only thing left is in an open field. Pretty much we found Maumee Bay State Park as having pretty nice sites. They are set up with a brush line or trees on both side of your lot. But that is 1 place. Can anyone help out on nice roomy sites in the Ohio area? State or privately owned. Thank you!!

Most private and public CGs list a conservative maximum length if they have one and sometimes the limits are broken down for TTs/5ers and for MHs. As one of you learns the driving skills and the other perfects spotter duties, you’ll become more confident. Practice makes perfect.

Call around and ask if the CG has "pull through sites". That is what you should be looking for. These sites are set aside for the larger coaches and almost always have a 50 amp shore station.You pull in and when you are ready to leave you just pull out. Sites are large and usually further apart.It is the only CG sites I will stay at because I also tow a toad.

We stayed at Alum Creek SP north of Columbus and it was really nice. We were disappointed in that we left in mid August because it was 97-100 degrees every day. Went all the way up there to hit a heat wave. 105 the whole time. Oh well. It was a nice change of scenery.

I suggest Punderson State Park in Geauga County. Most sites have privacy. Good fishing too. Also, near some of the finest winerys in the state.You might like Stone lick state Park in the South West part of the state. Not knowing where you really are, all I can do is suggest a shotgun type approach.Ed

Most Corp of Engineer Parks have large sites with a lot of room between. Some have full-hookup sites but many are water/electric sites with a dump station available. We prefer their parks.

I can understand with all the bandits in Indiana, ruffians in West Virginia, flimflam artists in Kentucky and Puritans in Pennsylvania. Michigan has settled down a bit, I hear.

Thank you so much for the response so quick! I'll fix where I am located in a bit. We are willing to travel all of Ohio and edges of other jointing states for now.
