Pokagon State Park Angola, Ind. Rating:
(three campfires out of five) Date: October 2001, November 2003, July 2004, July 2008 Description: Pokagon State Park is nestled amid the lakes and forests of northeast Indiana. This is pure car camping. The sites are generally open with some trees interspersed. Recreation: Pokagon has a few trails and lakes for fishing and boating. This is an excellent birding spot. In July, we awoke to an incredible cacophony of songs coming from the canopy over our site. Privacy: In the off-season there is plenty, but in July we were crowded (on a Thursday, I believe). There is some separation between sites. Alcohol: permitted? Reservations: In our summer trip, our companions arrived early enough to land a site. They do accept reservations. Firewood: Available at the camp store (open late in the evening in the summer). Rants: This is a perfect stopover
on the Chicago-to-Cleveland trek. One of our fellow campers slept in a
hammock and was harassed by masked vermin.
