Staff are rude and inexperienced. Signs are confusing. Don't follow the campground sign or you will end up in a small parking lot unable to exit. Sites are not level to the extreme. Sites are gravel, shaded, with 30 amp electric service. A campsite such as this is worth about $5.00 per night if I were to plan to stay here which I will not. Avoid at all costs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at Miami Whitewater for two nights. While we had car camped here before, this was our first trailer trip to this particular campground. We stayed on campsite 132. It was near the water source and playground. It was halfway in-between the bathroom with 2 showers (not really a bathhouse) and a three-hole pit toilet. As a side note: if strong odors bother you, avoid 117 and 119 during the hot months. I'll limit my comments and rating to the campground only. The campers this particular weekend were a whole different story. The check-in is a little inconvenient. You have to drive to the boathouse (about 500 yards down the road from the entrance) to check-in. The associates have to share time with the boat renters, fishers, and campers, so you have to wait on the weekends, when people are most likely to camp. I have yet to encounter one that really knows which sites would be best for your needs. The campground is unofficially divided into two areas: an upper area (up to 116) and a lower area (117 and up). The upper area is usually tent campers (aka pop-ups) and campers in tents. The sites up here are smaller and all have dramatic slopes. The lower area is roomier, has a playground, and the sites are a little more level. The sites are all gravel, back-in, and on some sort of slope. Some are sloped down so far that the trailer tongues rest on the ground to get level. The most level of the sites are between 126 and 136, but some of those are also not trailer-friendly. there are 15 and 30A electric hookups at each site. The playground is in great shape. Adults: stand your ground with the older kids about hogging swings and equipment. They generally move on. The bathhouse is small: VERY small. It is right by the entrance to the campground. The men's side has two urinals, two commodes, and two showers (one accessible). The women's side has three commodes and two showers (one accessible). The dump station is ridiculous. I never noticed this when tent camping, but it's on the wrong side. You can dump facing downhill if you have at least 12 feet of hose, but you'll likely leave a little bit of grey/black in your tanks because of the angle. If you don't want to do that, you have two options: pull past it towards the upper section and back down or go out, turn around by the boathouse and pull back in. We left before 9:00am, but I can't imagine the RV ballet that occurs between 11:00a and noon. I'd love to give this park a higher rating, especially since it's the closest to my house. However, it's just not up to the basic standard of modern campgrounds; even for a park district. The same district sunk millions into Winton Woods and a great campground was produced. Since they're bid to build a new one failed here at Miami Whitewater, they really need to look at updating what they have now. It would go up to a 7/8-star right away with water hook-ups, an updated bathhouse, and a relocated dump station. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
