A satisfactory location for camping but much more of an "RV Park" than a "campground". Occupancy…read morewas around 50% which was within COVID recommendations but especially phenomenal considering the weekend we stayed was 4th of July. Owners are ESPECIALLY STRICT on their 5mph speed limit to the point their employees will wave their arms and chase you down to remind you that, quote; "It's not 10mph, not 7 or even 6mph... The speed limit is 5mph." End quote. When I tried to explain my car was at idle speed he replied "You may need to ride your brakes then." As a father camping with two toddlers I appreciated their concern for safety somewhat but was conflicted when they never wore masks when speaking to campers, ever in the 4 days we stayed. Even when requiring campers to wear masks when entering their office to check-in, buy firewood/ice/etc. Reader beware that their name "Paradise" does not advertise that you must enter through the back alley of a car dealership and you are only separated from the highway by a few feet and an 8ft fence. We heard drag racing, honking, and sirens every night we were there.

This was our second visit to this campground. I'd like to begin by mentioning that it is quite a…read morebeautiful campground, and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. My only wish is that there were more activities available for children; we stayed from Thursday to Monday, and there was only one organized event throughout the entire weekend. I observed many individuals expressing concerns about the picnic tables, but ours was in excellent condition, truly one of the best I've seen at a campground, which suggests improvements are being made. I did find myself tripping over exposed tree roots quite frequently, but fortunately, I didn't sustain any injuries. Overall, I still have a fondness for this campground, and my children particularly enjoy swimming in the lake.

Being an avid camper, I've stayed at many campgrounds. The outrageous price this place charges is…read morenot worth it, it is legit hotel prices. If I'm going to stay in a hotel priced place, I want the amenities and resort style to come with... yeah no! First of all Michigan drivers are crazy, loud music and vehicles on road right outside your camper no matter where you park. Want to sleep in, yeah no big buddy. You get to hear city traffic all night and morning, just trying to camp, loud and screeching tires. Just a joke man. They need a wall and barrier, not a good place to camp and relax, just so much freeway type traffic, LOUD! Showers are disgusting. There are four total and paint falling off dirty walls corners, hair so much hair in drains. Then they are on timers. No way to adjust the hot/cold or how long you're able to use the shower. No person is that fast in the shower and I'm talking about just wash hair and body... they need to extend the timer at least 3-5 min, just to wash hair and body, all three times in shower I wasn't able to rinse my hair out until restarting the push button way out from the shower stall. Staff are snickering teens who walk by your campsite and talk crap, same teens cleaning the showers need a 101 in hygiene. Seriously, it looks like ringworm waiting to happen. Will not camp here again and I DO NOT recommend this place. Last straw is chickens. They have chickens ok no problem but when you have a crazy rooster who is allowed to roam and harasss the guests, there's a problem. If you have toddlers or small animals, BEWARE!

Our senior one is not very energetic and was never much of a retriever. WELL, he LOVED retrieving the ball & competing with the pup. BEST PART: they both learned how to swim here!!! Oh how I wish we had something like this near our home!

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.

A huge pro were the bathrooms, I was beyond shocked with how luxurious they felt for being campground bathrooms. I would recommend booking sites 1-116 (do research-online map includes picture/s) because these sites have shade unlike some on the other side. We stayed at site 45 and really enjoyed our stay. Across the campground is the lake and you are able to kayak (free if you bring your own like I did). Beautiful atmosphere and would always recommend! Family friendly
