Campsite: Macomb Reservation State Park

We stayed at site 35 for three days, on a Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We like to arrive to camp when the weekend crowds are leaving, because mid week most of these State Parks are fairly empty and quiet. We had the entire peninsula to ourselves, so it was idyllic. (sites 26-35 are considered the peninsula, and all are right on the water). Fishing is as easy as 15 steps from your tent/trailer down to waters edge, but the slope at sites 33, 34, and 35 are steep, 35 being the steepest. You could launch canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards right at your site, but the bottom is soft and a little mucky, so bring water shoes. Watch for snapping turtles, muscles, leaches, and blue/green algae blooms.

The bathroom at the end of this loop were very clean! The staff were pleasant and sociable. The park was, "kinda", clean...ish. Sorta. No toilet paper blooms like you find along trails in the ADKs, but cig butts, bottle caps, and melted/burned trash in the fire pits. We always spend 15 or 20 minutes when we get to a site policing it up and scooping the fire pit, but you have to expect that when camping in a campground. Site 35, contrary to what the Reserve America map shows, is the last site right ON the water, with a wooded hill next to it. It isn't level, so plan to use leveling legs or putting one tire on a block. We have a tiny, lightweight Aspen Classic motorcycle popup tent camper, so it was easy for us. Bigger trailers might want to opted for sites 24-33 or so, as they are more level.

It was peaceful, quiet, and money well spent.
