We love Canal! This site was a bit tight to get our fifth wheel in. This site also looks into 3 other sites. So, if you dont mind seeing your neighbors campsites it good.

Our two favorite campgrounds are Lincoln State Park and Canal, with Canal being #1. It has the nicest and most level pads, and your choice of woods, waterfront and or beach front. Then the town of Grand Rivers which an awesome little town. Everyone must try it!

Do not put any RV on this site. Tent only. It is a pull thru site but the useable space to setup an RV is nonexistent. It is all hill. The only level place on this site is the tent pad. The site is very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed viewing the dear and the lake.
