That's always nice! We chose a site next to the playground, which was nice for the kids. There was an adorable young raccoon that hung around snatching food when we would leave anything unattended, but he was cute so we didn't care. The only downside is no dump station. That needs to be resolved or some sort of agreement for use needs to be worked out with Seven Lakes.

Our stay at the Emmett KOA was a nightmare. The cabin we rented was infested with bed bugs. When we…read morebrought it up, the owner flat-out lied and told us they hadn't had bed bugs in"over 13 years." That was absolutely false. There are multiple reviews already citing bed bug issues, and staff members themselves admitted to us that it has been an ongoing problem. Even the pest control company they claimed to use confirmed they've been battling bed bugs here. Instead of taking responsibility, management hid behind their ridiculous 14-day cancellation policy and refused to refund our second night(which we didn't stay for obvious reasons). Their"solution" was insulting: a 20% discount for a future stay(as if anyone would want to come back!) and a handful of quarters so we could attempt to kill the bugs in our belongings using their dryer. The dishonesty from Toni and her father is appalling. Any business that knowingly lies to its customers about a health and cleanliness issue this serious has no integrity. Bed bugs are not a minor inconvenience- they spread, they infest, and they follow you home. We left disgusted and disappointed, and I strongly recommend avoiding this campground if you value your health, honesty, or basic respect as a paying customer.

The good part about this day is there are a ton of things for the family to do. We did not have any…read morekids with us, but this park was convenient to wear. Our family reunion was being held so we opted to stay here. We were unable to get a full hook up site, all we could reserve was one with water and electric, which for tonight was fine. We are KOA club member so we did get a little bit of a discount, but it was still about 60 bucks a night for this site. They have two different areas where they assigned spaces. One is grassy and open with full sun and the other is completely shaded by the waterfront. It had rained for a couple days prior to our arrival so the roads were very muddy. I would agree with most of the other commenters that their roads are in pretty bad shape, very rutted and it is a slow process to drive your car through these roads. They were putting some gravel in the entryway when we arrived, but I would say the internal sites near the water were a bit of a mess. It's just very muddy and it really doesn't need to be this way. There's a huge mix of campers, fifth wheels and many tents so there is something for everyone. I cannot comment on whether they charge for different items such as the bounce pad and such as we didn't have any kids with us. I didn't see any priceless anywhere though. We did do laundry. Two dollars to wash, two dollars to dry and everything worked just fine. The staff were pretty friendly. They seem to all be friends and get along really well. We did not use the shower rooms or bath house since we're self-contained. Wi-Fi worked, but it was iffy. Verizon service was pretty good. One of our biggest frustrations was having a pull through site that you really couldn't pull your car out of! There were too many hairpin turns from site 205 so unfortunately, we had to go back to the main entrance and pull off to the side of the road to hook the car back up. Kind of a pain!

Upgrades for 2025: new cement patios (we upgraded and are currently on one) and outside showers are in the process of being upgraded/fixed. Of course, there are some negatives like the roads are rutted and trashed from the rain and the dog park is not fenced. Aside from that the sites are of decent size, friendly staff and nice big store. We will definitely be coming back.

We have been camping here for the last 9 years and this year has been the worst. Staff and…read more"security" have been horrible, patrolling and treating adult weekenders like children. The guy who places people on sites, doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. We had a group site which we've had before and already knew the boundaries, he insisted we were wrong then changed his mind more than once. Golf cart security boxed a vehicle like they were chasing a hellcat charger on I69, dude was doing 7 mph and speed limit is 5. Empty park and dogs can't run in the empty field. No waders in the water. No signs or indications campers can't do things.

We called the store and ask why they play music that loud and they said they couldn't do anything about it. It went on until 11pm, lousy karaoke and noise so loud we couldn't drown it out with the A/C fan in the camper and were about 1000ft away. We won't be back. This is ridiculous.

Then store/office has no atm will not give cash back & will not give you quarters for laundry. Laundry had a broken washer 1/2 full of dirty smelly water, in same bldg 90% of the women's bathroom stalls were full of urine/poop, the showers in this bldg were also dirty, soap scum, & then soap scum/mold & white stuff all over in men's showers (not guessing what that is). We were the only ones in our side of campground. Couple sketchy people wandering around that might have been on drugs. Employee in store very nice. But the company lacks in cleaning & maintaining facilities. So not worth the price! We will not stay here again. Your comment below is Incorrect you were not busy at all almost every site was empty. My 92 grandma loves to visit with other rv people & there wasn't anyone to talk to that's how empty you were. You could have been a good manager & taken responsibility & said you would correct housekeepings mistake. This is the OFF season & you are still charging $112 for full hookups. Since you couldn't be honest (So sad) we will not be back. Your employee in store was really nice she was the only good thing about this rv park.

The beach at Bishop Lake was too small for the amount of people and the water quality wasn't great. The water was shallow, murky, and slimy. The trail around the lake was also crowded and not peaceful. Many people were riding their bikes or walking in between the camp grounds and the beach. Some signs or trail activities were falling apart and in need of repair. If you want to be around a ton of people while enjoying the outdoors, you'd have fun. It wasn't for me.

My family purchases rec passes for all of our vehicles. When the booth worker, Connie, asked if I have a rec pass on my vehicle, I replied yes, and she waved me in. She did not stand up to view the sticker. I parked in the Bishop parking lot and soon after noticed a white vehicle speeding through the parking lot. Connie the booth worker blocked the back of my car into the parking space with her personal vehicle and jumped out screaming, so angry she was nearly foaming at the mouth. Connie jumped out of her car, and ran to my driver's side window screaming at me as I sat bewildered in the driver's seat of my car. "What do you mean you have a rec pass, you don't even have a Michigan plate?!! Go back to the booth!!" I asked Connie to remove her personal vehicle from blocking my vehicle and obstructing my movement. I told her I don't feel comfortable with her behavior and that I wanted to leave the park. Connie said, "Good, leave!" I stopped at the booth and asked for Connie's name and the contact information for a park's supervisor. Connie replied- you don't need my name. They know who I am in the park's office. She then walked into her booth and slammed the door. I had Deb with DNR drive to the booth to speak with Connie and address her bizarre and over the top behavior. When I asked Deb whether booth workers are deputized or authorized to pursue and block parks goers with their personal vehicles, she smartly replied, "What do you think?" MI Legislature allows DNR officers to write civil tickets only to visitors without a rec pass. Under no circumstances should a civilian booth worker impersonate an officer, chase, pursue or physically block a person who they believe is not carrying a rec pass.
