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.

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!

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.

We have enjoyed tubing and camping here for many years, which makes this experience even more…read moredisappointing. Our group of approximately 75 people arrived for a scheduled tubing trip, checked in, and paid in full. While we were waiting for the shuttle, one member of our group picked up a life jacket from the same area where we as guests have always been able to get them during our previous visits. There were no signs indicating that only staff were permitted to hand out life jackets. Without asking what happened or giving anyone an opportunity to explain, the male owner, Nick, began yelling at members of our group, including me, accusing us of theft. He ordered us off the property and announced that he had called the police. The police never arrived. The female owner, Melissa, appeared slightly embarrassed but perhaps just inconvenienced by the situation and attempted to calm him down, but was unsuccessful. She then processed refunds for our entire group on one of the busiest days of the year, which ultimately hurt their own business as much as it disrupted our plans. What was most upsetting was not the misunderstanding--it was how it was handled. A simple conversation could have resolved everything in seconds. Instead, we were publicly yelled at, falsely accused, and humiliated in front of our families, friends, other customers, and staff. A camper who was not affiliated with our group approached us afterward to say he was shocked and disgusted by what he and his small children had to witness. He felt the treatment was so inappropriate. We are not posting this out of spite. We are posting it because no paying customer deserves to be treated this way, especially loyal customers who have supported this business for years, with receipts to prove it. We sincerely hope the owners, Melissa and Nick, acknowledge what happened, accept responsibility, and issue a genuine apology. Everyone can have a bad day, but business owners should treat customers with respect and professionalism. I am open and ready to have a respectful conversation. Until that happens, I cannot recommend this business. UPDATE: Shout out to Wisner Canoes for not only saving the day but delivering top notch customer service! I paid $57 for my family's tubes at Wisner compared to $75 at Chinook so we actually ended up saving money. BONUS: You get to actually, physically grab and try on life jackets yourself at Wisner with NO false accusations of theft! Wisner Canoes 25 E Water St, Newaygo, MI 49337 231-652-6743

A huge pro were the bathrooms, I was beyond shocked with how luxurious they felt for being campground bathrooms.

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
