    We camped at Way Back campground llc in Michigan for three seasons, initially building strong…read morefriendships with the owners and their grandchildren. Our kids would eagerly await our weekly arrivals during the summers, often chatting and playing video games during the off-season. The campground initially offered family-friendly activities like hayrides and crafts.. these dwindled to events that included only our children and the owners' grandchildren, often overshadowed by drunken behavior unsuitable for kids. By the second season, that sense of community soured when the owners' friends/family began uninvited weekend parties on our campsite. Groups would show up, using our firewood and partying late into the night while our kids struggled to sleep, often leaving only after we became assertive and telling them to leave so we could go to bed. This disregard for our family's needs, compounded by other unsettling issues made it clearly evident that Way Back is not a family friendly campground. Our campsite being littered with debris from a previous burned, condemned camper on our lot, promises of cleanup that went unfulfilled for 3 seasons. Obscene drunken adult behaviors in front of children that went unaddressed, only created a growing sense of disappointment. We also faced safety concerns, such as homeless individuals using drugs and living in the campgrounds. Convicted sexual offenders and known drug addicts in the park. Hostile fighting and commotion usually provoked by and instigated by the owners. A lingering presence of inappropriate adults around children at the park. Despite our initial rapport and giving the owners multiple chances to make improvements, issues only escalated, leading us to strongly advise against this campground.

    When they say way back... they mean it. Very quiet spot in the woods. Kathy could not have been…read moremore accommodating and friendly. It's the end of the camping season so it was pretty empty. Tons of mature trees. Restrooms were ok but they are going to be getting a face lift soon. The spots are a little short for a trailer and vehicle but there is plenty of extra parking all over. Two playgrounds for the kids, a beautiful river for walking, wading, and at the right times canoe, kayak, float or splash. Town is close with walmart and meijer coming soon. We will be going back., it was a great relaxing weekend.

    I finally visited Pokagon State Park for the first time. After hearing my mom talk about a…read morechildhood visit she had (including the Toboggan run) for decades, we made the three hour trek north from Indy for a cozy weekend of staying at the lodge, hiking on the trails, visiting the nature center, etc. The overall park and setting was peaceful. The Tobaggan run definitely makes them stand out from other Indiana state parks as one of the more winter-friendly destinations. It was certainly hopping during our chilly January visit. Given the park's popularity, I was surprised at how much TLC the inn could use. The nature center is fairly simple but worth a visit. They have a trail that runs out the back door and easy parking. You'll also find Nordic skiing trails, homes along the lake and a simple restaurant at the inn. The toboggan run was a hit with our four year old. I cheered overhead with our two year old and I have to say that watching is quite enjoyable as well

    They have a day long hike called the Hell's Point Challenge. I would love to return in the warmer…read moreweather and complete this hike, due to below freezing weather in January I just did portions of the hike, with car heater breaks. There is a beautiful historic lodge with restaurant. The restaurant prices are reasonable and the dining room is historic. For kids they have sled riding shoots, when I was a kid I would have lived this. There is a unique beauty about hiking in the winter.
