There are different kinds of sites; some better for RVs and some better for tents / tents only. We'll be staying in Middle Beechwood, but you can camp in any of the 3 campgrounds based on what works best.

>>> If you are planning to share a site * the DNR limits are up to 2 cars and up to 6 people per site. It's best if groups sharing discuss tent sizes to make sure there'll be room *
