It looks like I have several choices here. Piney, Energy Lake, Hillman, and even Canal. Any recommendations for a couple nights next month?

In all fairness, I haven't seen two of the above, but I'd vote Piney every time for the elbow room, the trees, and the water.

Tough choice... I personally like Hillman Ferry better than the others but they are all nice. You are going to find other folks that like each of these the best! Have fun!

Hi,
We have stayed at Hillman and Piney. We like Piney best especially if you can get a site on the lake. You can watch the barges float by the campground. Once we saw a paddle wheel tour boat float by the campground. It was night and the lights were on and the music could be heard as it floated by the campground. Piney has some bike trails.
Hillman is nice too but the campground is smaller and its sites are
closer together.
Some really fun things to see and do are the wolf visitor center and the buffalo at the Home center, and the Planetarium has some evening star gazing times. Don't forget to visit the lock and dam. That is always fun to watch.
Have a fun vacation.

just got back from there. Stayed at Canal. Sites near the lake are very shady and some are tight if you have a large rig. We opted to stay in the new loop, large pull thrus, no shade but we got satellite! We faced the canal but not much view due to lots of trees and vegetation (which is fine by us). We loved it and will go back. Another beautiful place we stayed is near Bowling Green KY. Baileys Point COE. Not easy to get to, but once you're there it's beautiful. I'd go there again if we were staying at least 3 or 4 nights. Went to Corvette factory and museum. Do you think I could tow a Cadillac XLR behind my motorhome without it getting paint chips?? haha
