To my surprise the owners texted to check on our progress. Not once did they ever have anything but a positive attitudes. We made it in and got settled very late. The time difference had us off slightly. The whole cabin was well furnished and extremely clean. It was very roomy and came with amenities most 5 star hotels don't! I was completely shocked at the experience and have now found a new place for my family to go whenever we feel a need to "get away", which is often! Upon our departure, the owner was even nicer than when we first met! I am so pleased with this place I will recommend you trying it out for yourself. If you don't like your first night is on me! ***Wink wink*** Make sure to check in for great coupons and little bonus gifts.

If it was me, I would do a few things: get a larger ice cooler (or a second one), invest in wifi/cable that works better, and add some more potties. There are a lot of people with not many bathrooms. Otherwise no complaints, see you next year.

The name on the KOA directory says Ludington East so this is a bit deceiving as we thought it would…read morebe a lot closer to Ludington than it was. It ended up being out in the middle of nowhere, in the Manistee National Forest. This ended up being a great location due to where it was and the size of the campground. We could drive to most places within 25 minutes or so and then come back to this nice, tucked away campground. I received text messages almost daily while there with what was going on. I would have been ok with not receiving these as I received the agenda upon check in and had a list of everything. Easy to follow signs lead you back into the forest to find the KOA as well. Full hook up site that was nearly level and required little work to set up which was nice. They also had a dog park. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the random A frame structure that was in the park. It was kind of overgrown in the dog park area and the bugs were so bad-that time of year for the bugs. There were plenty of activities if you had little ones and there was also a pool that looked quite nice. They had these fun Yurt/tent type places you could also have paid to stay at as well. Everyone working was very friendly and helpful. Also, they randomly sold beer and wine, but not on Sundays. First KOA that I've ever been to that did that!

This is a hidden beach that few know about, mostly because you need to drive toward the Portage…read morePoint Inn (be sure to fill your water bottles at the artesian spring, just past the camp), and then keep going right past it on a VERY dinky, one lane road. Head past the marina and yacht club, take a right, and up the dune to the parking lot (free). There's a single room changing area with a pit toilet (needs must), well lit. There are two gazebos and a wooden walkway at the south end of the small parking lot, and a gazebo with benches at the north end of the parking lot. There are dog bags, if you're walking your dog (thank you for cleaning up after them!). I especially love the new addition this year of a barely inclined wooden walkway, with a handicap mat (not sure what to call it, but it is plastic netting that is a stable place for you to walk or wheel down). There's a pier, and a lighthouse at the end. There are 4 fire rings, if you are inclined to have a lovely beach sunset fire (bring supplies). This is my favorite hidden beach in Michigan, and the swims - and sunsets - are glorious.

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.

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.

After reviewing their website and exchanging emails with Kevin, the owner, we made reservations to…read morecheck in on a Monday and out on Friday. We arrived early afternoon and find that the entrance to the campground was nowhere near the office. We had to follow a long campground road too get to the office. We have a 38 ft motorhome, and was assured that we would have no issues getting in/out of the campground. We located Kevin and he called his partner who was off-site. We waited for her to arrive and after completing the checking process, she led us to our site which was nice. Let me say at the outset, Kevin and Vickie are nice folks and accommodating. Let me also say that the campground is as described on the website, which is rustic. The roads are sand, the sites are sand or grass, depending on the site. If you are expecting paved roads and/or sites, don't plan on staying here. Pros: - Owners are nice folks - Campground was quiet but we were the only ones there so that is obvious. However, their quiet times are strictly enforced. - Campground is quite woodsy, lots of pines, very nice atmosphere. - Campground is located away from busy roads so noise is a minimum. - Camping fee was very reasonable for a 50A/water supplied site. - They do have a nice dump station. Cons: - The rustic roads are very bumpy with a lot of low spots and dips. This is not the kind of road that I ever want to drive my RV on again. - Roads have a lot of very narrow spots and sharp turns with trees to avoid, not conducive to a 38 ft motorhome with a car on a dolly behind it. - While not directly related to the camping experience, the buildings on the property are quite run down and really made us think twice when we arrived. - There are only two showers for the whole campground (unless there was another one somewhere else that I was unaware of, but I specifically asked about showers and was told which building). Those two showers also have the only two flush toilets in the campground, the rest are pit/portable toilets. - There is no common trash disposal, you leave a bag next to the road and they will collect it - for $3 a bag. Overall we had a pleasant camping experience but for the reasons stated, we would not go back with our RV. If rustic camping is what you like, you'll like this campground. If you are looking for something more upscale, keep looking, this is not what you are wanting.

Love this area! Just north of Ludington with way less traffic and completely different adventures!…read moreYou can walk in and camp basically right on the beach here, which is absolutely dreamy and there are just such wonderful hiking trails throughout that offer you challenges and just the most gorgeous sights as well! This spot definitely isn't for everyone and there won't be any "easy" hikes. Nordhouse Dunes makes you work for it, but the payoff is immense and completely worth it! Uninterrupted access to Lake Michigan and stunning vibes - what more could you ask for?! Love Nordhouse Dunes!!

A pleasant wooded setting not far from Baldwin. Amenities are sparse (though you came to a state…read moreforest campground so you probably know that), but the outhouses were clean, pumps gushed the aqua without straining your muscles, and the picnic tables were in good repair. While its comforts are limited, it's much quieter than some of the better appointed campgrounds nearer town. Leverentz Lake SFCG is divided into two sections, the Little Leverentz Lake (really not much more than a pond) and Big Leverentz Lake (really more of a large pond) units. I generally prefer Big Leverentz, as there are some cabins bordering close on the Little Leverntz unit and I prefer a little more seclusion. There's a single home on Big Leverentz across from the campground, otherwise the shores are wooded and wild. Spotted some loons there one morning on a recent visit. There's a fishing pier as well as a boat launch on Big Leverentz. A 4.5 mile hiking trail loops through surrounding woods and wetlands, with several access points in the campground. Sites are generously sized, and many can accommodate trailers. Most aren't completely level, typical for rustic campgrounds, but tent campers can probably find enough level-ish ground for comfortable sleeping. Baldwin is one of Michigan's great outdoor recreation destinations, and if you're happy with rustic accommodations, Leverentz Lake is a good base for exploring it.
