A very nice view in itself. Then the boardwalk travels on, then goes under a bridge and next to a sand dune, then Bam! The lake and path funnel into Lake Michigan and the path onto an amazing beach. I had no idea this beautiful public beach was here. The views are outstanding and the sand is pristine. We took the dog, yes on a leash, for a walk of the beach and had a great time. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely! A must stop.

A great place to camp out and the location is perfect. The 2016 rates ranged from $20-$26/night and…read morethere are 9 sites that are considered waterfront. The small lake was a hit with campers looking to cool off. Each site has electricity and a fire pit, but make sure you bring a grill to cook on or a pit grill to place on top of the fire pit. There's a large children's playground and horseshoes pits for the adults. Firewood is really cheap at $3/bundle and they even delivered it to your camp site. There are 4 restrooms on site, but no showers or running water. It's camping and not the Ritz-Carlton so make sure you know what you're getting into. Pete and Pat live on site and made sure to check on everyone at least once a day which was really nice. They even picked up our trash every morning. Make sure to bring cash as they don't take credit.

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY…read more Bad atmosphere for children: The management allegedly uses foul language up to and including the "Fbomb" liberally toward young children.

A huge pro were the bathrooms, I was beyond shocked with how luxurious they felt for being campground bathrooms. I would recommend booking sites 1-116 (do research-online map includes picture/s) because these sites have shade unlike some on the other side. We stayed at site 45 and really enjoyed our stay. Across the campground is the lake and you are able to kayak (free if you bring your own like I did). Beautiful atmosphere and would always recommend! Family friendly

They walked us back to our campsite and threaten to evict us from our campsite if we left again, but how do I use the bathroom at night without leaving my campsite?

I have mixed feelings about this campground…read more Let's start with the positives. My kids had a great time riding their bikes, playing mini golf, and enjoying the playground. They also loved having the volleyball and basketball courts. Another huge plus was that I didn't get bitten by a single mosquito the entire trip, which was amazing. Food prices were also reasonable. Unfortunately, there were several issues that really affected our stay. We spent the day at Michigan's Adventure and returned to the campground around 10:30 p.m. Only then did we discover we were locked out of the campground. I was alone with my kids because my husband had gone back home for work. I called every emergency number posted at the check-in office multiple times, but no one answered. We waited in our car for about 30 minutes until a seasonal camper kindly let us in using their gate code. Had they not stopped to help, I have no idea how long we would have been waiting. I left multiple voicemails and never received a call back--not even the next day to ask if we had made it in safely. That was very disappointing. Another issue was the pools. They were extremely cold--too cold to comfortably enjoy. The hot tub was only warm, not hot, which is why I allowed my kids to sit in it with me for a few minutes. Staff came over and told us we had to get out because children weren't allowed. I understand and respect that rule, but it would have been nice if the regular pools had been warm enough to use. Finally, I specifically paid extra for a campsite because the website advertised it as having a concrete pad. I prefer concrete because it helps keep dirt out of the camper. When I asked about it in the office, I was told they don't have any sites with concrete pads. I explained that the website advertises them and charges more for those sites. Instead of addressing the issue, the employee responded, "Well, be thankful you don't have one because if you fall, you won't scrape your knees," and walked away. That response was unprofessional and dismissive. Overall, the campground has some great amenities for families, but the lack of emergency support, inaccurate campsite descriptions, cold pools, and poor customer service left us disappointed.

Also last time I was there I saw a mouse in the indoor pool and the staff didnt get it after we reported it to them.

Check in was a breeze, and staffer even showed us to our site. Bathrooms and shower buildings are cleaned regularly. My full hookup site was great. Heads up: Most of not all roads are dirt, and they can be muddy and puddly after a rain. And none of the sites I saw had paved pads for your RV. It can be a chore to keep the dirt and mud out of your rig, but that's camping. What's cool?--the standalone outhouses have flush toilets with running water, and many of the rental cabins seemed to be wheelchair accessible.

I then gave her a $10 as she is having a conversation with another co worker. She then tells me the total again and I told her that I just gave u a 10. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CUSTOMER NOT YOUR COWORKERS. Then they made a big stink bout wearing a mask on the bus and 1st of all they didn't wear a mask at not in the store or busses and they did not make people wear them on the bus.
