Everything you need is there. Just sit back and enjoy the view, lots of deer. We already have plans to return in July 2023 with our camper again. Looking forward to another trip down the river while we are there.

He didn't care even when I explained that my car gave me an error code that my starting battery had a power drain and possibly would not start, and I would unplug at that time. My family and friends have been camping at this park for almost 10 years but there has been a change in management " the captain retired, we steamed last fall with him what a great guy, he will be missed" I definitely don't like the new nickel & dime extra charges and probably will be looking for a different campground.

Water/electric hookups tend to be on opposite sides or different locations on all sites. Campground is more suitable for larger groups rather than a leisure family weekend stay. Beach area is clean for a private lake, yet it is a small area. Hard to tell if the slides are free for campers or have to pay. Lack and miscommunication within the campground and its employees is a disappointment while confusing. Odd hours of camp store and campground office. Closest store off of grounds is about 10-15mins away heading towards Big Rapids 131 on ramp. Review: Experienced campers with travel trailer. Decided to stay here after hearing about the positive experiences our church groups have had on recent trips. I would like to point out that we were camping as a small family stay and not part of any church or summer camp group. Our reservation for a water electric site (a fri-mon stay) was placed a few wks in advance. The original site they reserved for us was on the Bayview side and not accommodating for a reg 30ft travel trailer. The electrical outlet was placed right next to the fire pit along with the site next to us. The pits are not moveable. In order to have electric on our site, the cord would run over the fire pit or tightly on the side of the pit. The idea of having a fire did not seem safe at all because of this issue. The water hookup also did not reach. When we spoke to the office about our site, they highly suggested we could buy another water hose from their store to fix the problem or we could move to another site until Sunday in which we would have to move by 1pm for the next campers coming in. We opted to switch sites because even with us not having a fire, the site next to us having a fire so close to the electrical unit made us uneasy. The lack of communication between campground offices and employees was confusing and tiresome throughout the stay. Each time we would ask if there was a cancellation on the site where we moved or when/where we would have to move on Sunday the office had no idea of what we were talking about and we would have to explain to them the situation over. When the office was closed, the camp store would also access the reservation software and try to find out a solution. One of those being our first site that we moved off of with the electrical over the fire pit. The first site we moved to by them was right on the lake which was nice. Aside from the sites being close together, the setup of the fire pit, electric, and water hookup was much more thought out and fits a regular 30ft travel trailer nicely. A lot of the workers there are teens, the ones who ran the activities by the lake or worked in the lake house were not helpful and seemed bothered by helping guests. We saw a majority of them on their cell phones a lot of the time and ignoring guests when they would need help for the boats or slides. We had purchased tickets for some of the activities at the camp store. The employee who had help us could not give us any information for the activity where it was located up or the specifics of it along with lack of communication in purchasing tickets for the boat or slide at the store and the lake. They do offer a free petting zoo which was nice. However, a lot of the other campers would let their kids run wild in there. I felt bad for the animals because kids would just climb into the cages with the animals or open the doors to their cages. There was little supervision by the campground in the petting zoo area in care for the animals. Located in the bathrooms is a dishwashing area which was nice to have one inside; however, it is right when you walk into the bathrooms. There is no mat or sign for the floor because it gets so wet from the dishwashing area. There is a little drain in the floor that helps a little, but the floor still gets terribly slippery. Overall, we were a little disappointed in our stay because we have heard such great things about the campground. I feel they have great ideas for their campers, but the lack in miscommunication throughout the campground provides a lack in experience for the campers. I did feel that our family was inconvenience towards the campground as they had a summer camp group coming in as well as a local church group they were setting up for near us in the Bayview area as well. that seems to be where they focus their attention and great experiences on. After we moved to our final site, the Bayview area did have a lot of cars parked down there from a group coming in. It was tight and was not great for hitching up a camper to tow out or just simply parking your car there. I think if we attended here in a larger group or attend the summer camp program our experience would be different.

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.
