We prefer state parks due to the large private, wooded sites most offer here in Wisconsin. Now that we have the bigger/taller fifth wheel, we're not as brave going to a campground without a test drive first. Every spring, for the last 3 or 4 years, we pick an area to explore, hop in the car with a video camera and notebook and check out as many private and public campgrounds we can find in a certain area. We've found time and again that we just don't like private campgrounds and how you are sandwiched in next to your neighbors. We also rule out places where we're likely to scrape off our vents or put a hole in the roof.
The more we look, the more we appreciate the state parks within 60 miles of our home. Things were much different when we just had the pop-up. As far as hookups, we typically go with just electric but will go without, too. Water has never been a priority.
