Villiage Inn on the Lake - Two Rivers, WI

Location: Two Rivers, WI
Site#: 20
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: We made it into the sight, but they were very tight and way too narrow for Big Rigs. There are a few sites that maybe easier to manevuer into.
Wi-Fi: Yes
Cable: No
Pros: Close to the activities we were looking for (biking along Lake Michigan), and close proximity to our home.
Cons: Very narrow and short sites, no distance between sites (the group next to us had to have their chairs and campfire in the road; as well as their tow/toad vehicles), and difficult to get into for Big-Rigs. Also lots of road noise from the Highway, and a bit pricey.
Cost: $50.00
Rating: 6.5
Notes: This campground is NOT on Lake Michigan, their is a highway between the campground and the lake.
