    Forester Park has been a favorite of campers for generations, with many renting their spots for the entire season. But don't let that scare you away, with 68 acres and 190 sites, there is still room for you! The campground is nicely landscaped with mature trees for shade on hot summer days. The bathing beach is one of the largest and nicest public beaches on this side of the Thumb. There is also a playground for the kids, a covered pavilion for groups, and grills and tables for individual picnics. Recent improvements to the park include handicap accessible restrooms and showers, and rustic cabins for rent. You can ride bicycles here, play horse shoes or volleyball, and nearby there are other things to do, like horseback riding, golfing, scuba diving, fishing, birdwatching, antiquing, and a few miles away in Port Sanilac, there is a wonderful Historical Museum and Village depicting Sanilac County history. The park has a store for your convenience, and they serve good hand dipped ice cream. There are also larger grocery and hardware stores nearby.

    Good times!!

    This campground was our go to place for years. We have friends that are seasonal campers. It was…read morealways packed. You could get in with some luck and a prayer. Now it's on its 3rd owner in 4 years. Now it's a Jellystone Park. They do not have an updated Yelp site even though they have posted a yelp review. They do not like seasonal campers. They do not want seasonal campers anymore. No more new seasonal campers as they leave. The pool has been down the last 3 times we have been there. The bathrooms are a mess. My wife got her phone stolen last year. They have more golf carts than they know what to do with but won't rent them for some reason. I was out on a wait list for a cart this weekend and watched about 50 carts sit unrented. In the office and store we made note of a substance on the toilets in the restroom (you know what I mean), it remained there from when we checked in this last Thursday until this morning (Sunday). Speaking with other campers, they are sad that they see so many empty spaces. It's ridiculous how many vacancies they have now. Some left before the completion for their reservation because they were so unhappy with what's happening. We used to hold trips here with the people we work with at least twice a year. I wish them the best of luck because they are going to need it. I think the staff knows what needs to be done but the corporate ownership is driving this place into the ground. Oh and bring life jackets for the kids to use their water activities on the lake. They don't even have enough life jackets for what little campers they had. I think this might me a violation.

    My friends and i stayed here July 21st thru the 24th, 2022. I was in my 5th wheel, they had cabins…read more Lake Huron campground was awesome. JellyStone, not so much. Overpriced for stays now, bathrooms flooding sewage, pool closed for sewage backup, I'm not a happy camper. They will not allow personal golf carts anymore, i had goose poop, cigarette butts, and the previous camper on my site left a good amount of their black tank contents on the ground. I paid $327.00 for 3 nights. For that amount, a person would expect a clean site. Big corporate campgrounds don't care about their property obviously. We used to camp here at least once a year for the past 6 years now. I can see why there were so many sites open now. Corporate greed has taken yet another nice campground down. We won't be back. (Why won't this site allow me to post zero stars? That's what this place deserves now!)

    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
