Loved this place. We only spent one night but we will be back. Our site was very spacious. There is some road noise but it quieted down at night. Next time we want to check out the other places around Rand Lake including the bike trail and beach. Restrooms are clean with separate shower houses.

Beautiful view from this site, although the site is a bit steep. People who had it reserved before us changed sites because they have a 44' fifth wheel and were afraid to park it on this site due to the steepness. We have a 25' trailer.

It was nice until our neighbors next to us started having a party and we have a 15-year-old special-needs boy with us and one of their party members were smoking marijuana you could tell and it was coming into our windows so we had to shut our windows and you could smell it still in our camper
