We just left this campground and will not return. After having a great experience at the KOA in…read morePort Huron last weekend, we thought this site would be as well taken care of, but it isn't. The playground equipment is in disrepair, the slushie machine wasn't working, no fries, no cheese sticks, yet all of those food and drink items were advertised. Of the 4 dump stations only one had a water line to rinse out the black water tank. The site we were on was completely uneven, and the ones next to us were just as bad. As soon as we got there we wanted to leave, but we couldn't find another campground with open spots. Our 7 year old was disappointed about the snacks bar at first, but liked the kid activities. The fire truck was a big hit, laser tag, and the bounce platform. We met some nice people who were also complaining about the condition of the campground. For as many workers, you'd think that the rather new pool deck would not have weeds growing out through the bricks. It really looks as if the kids are running the place and they don't see that the grass needs trimming or that the sites could use some leveling and gravel to maintain them. In fact, I went home and picked up our string trimmer to mow our area. The girl mowing our spot hit our new mat and shredded it up. She wasn't mowing after that, actually, no one was... the manager told me they'd 'make it right' and replace the mat. I'm hopeful that will happen. We thought that KOA would have higher standards. I wish we'd researched this place further. I do see that it has possibilities and with proper management and some landscaping, leveling, and repairs this could be a beautiful place. The trees are gorgeous.

This place is a dump the only good reviews are made by management or employees that are told to…read morewrite a good review! The picture should describe how I feel about this KOA!

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.

Love it we go every year for Halloween never had any issues wel will continue to go every yearread more

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!

The campground has only been a KOA for 3 years so all the complaining about the lack of upgrades is…read morenot really all that fair. 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.

Every time we come here, neighbors keep us up til 1am Went to the indoor pool yesterday. They much have dumped 500 gallons of chlorine in the pool. Eyes were on fire. Lot of people complaining and had to leave. Brought this up with the camp store. Problem not resolved. They couldn't open the doors as they were padlocked People drive like damn maniacs as well. They post speed limit signs of 5 mph. Staff always yell at campers to slow down but they can't even adhere to the signs. Always see staff driving their little golf carts at Mach 2. Smh Oh. One time I came here, there was literally shit everywhere on the men's bathroom. Like all over the floor If this is the type of riff raff this place attracts, I want out of this membership Move over OA, you can not compete with the beauty and respect that come with MI state parks

Today was supposed to be pumped out and cleaned so we could winterized so we got up early to get it done called the store and was told it would be afternoon before someone could get to us. If I would of known it would be all day.

There are lots of lakes nearby for swimming and hiking. Brighton State Rec is not one I would go…read moreback to. 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.

I visited on Saturday, October 4th driving a rental vehicle registered through my insurance…read morecompany. We purchased a grey rec sticker attached to the windshield. 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.

Horseshoe Cove RV Resort, Bradenton, FL is our favorite winter destination. We spent four winters…read morehere but were unable to go Jan, Feb and Mar of 2017 due to family medical reasons. I reluctantly had to call and cancel our reservation on November 17, 2016. I was told my $300. Refund could take up to 30 days since I had paid the deposit with a check. On December 20, 2016, I called HSC and was told to call corporate since I hadn't yet received my refund. I called corporate. I was told to call HSC. I called and was told the office Mgr. was on vacation and to call on 12/28. I called on 12/28 and the mgr. told me the Park Mgr had failed to submit the refund request. Yesterday, January 5, 2017, I wrote a letter to Sun Resorts Corporate Office in MI laying out all details and demanding my refund. I will post a second review when the refund is received.

My family stayed at Sun Retreats from June 18-20, 2026, and our experience was extremely…read moredisappointing and concerning. During a campground-sponsored flag football game, an older child became increasingly physical with my son. This was supposed to be flag football, not tackle football. After my son threw the ball, the older child punched him in the face. Several parents witnessed the incident and told staff that my boys were not at fault. Multiple families even commented, "Watch the brown kids get in trouble for this," before management became involved. My children were the only children of color involved in the situation, which made those comments especially troubling. One of the biggest concerns was the lack of supervision. This was a campground-sponsored activity involving numerous children, yet there appeared to be only one female staff member overseeing a large group of boys playing football. Given the number of children participating and the physical nature of the activity, there should have been adequate staffing and supervision to prevent situations like this from escalating. When I reported the incident to Assistant Manager James, I expected the matter to be taken seriously. Instead, I was told it was "just kids being kids." Despite multiple witnesses supporting my children, the situation was dismissed, and no action was taken after my son was punched. Afterward, our family no longer felt safe. The other parent repeatedly stated that James was going to have our family removed from the campground. My sister was so uncomfortable that she left early because her campsite was directly behind the other family's site and she feared further harassment. When we asked management about our safety and whether our campsite could be moved, we were told there was nothing they could do because the campground was fully booked. We filed an incident report with the campground office and contacted corporate. Despite doing everything we were told to do, no one has responded to us or followed up regarding this serious incident. What makes this even more frustrating is the amount of money we spent. Our group paid over $900 per campsite, with three campsites reserved, and we expected a safe, family-friendly environment. Instead, our child was physically assaulted, our concerns were dismissed, members of our family felt unsafe enough to leave early, and our attempts to seek help have gone unanswered. Sun Retreats needs to do better when it comes to supervising children's activities, addressing guest safety concerns, and responding to incidents involving physical violence. No family should leave a vacation feeling the way we did.
