    CreekRidge Campground - Taking Covid 19 seriously

    Well, let's just say did not find the crowd very friendly, especially those who have units their…read morefull-time. Those folks pretty much stated themselves and I did not see many single people there. I tried to spark a few conversations. They were not rude, but they were very short. I walked around and saw groups of people at campsites make comments so what a nice site they had and they just said thanks they did not invite me over to the group. In other campgrounds I found when you walk around like that those that have units there always welcome visitors and I did not have that feeling this time. There's a woods there that a lot of the couples go out and mess around, but it did not find the group to be very friendly when it came to that either. I would say the majority of the group is 50 to 70 years Old and I would say I was in the middle of the pack far as weight and body shape. there were many guys very large. As far as young people there are only three or four guys maybe in their 25 or 30 year-old range. I did run into friends I knew from Detroit they were with a group I chatted with a group and was thinking I would get an invite to do dinner with him, but I did not. I even nudged it a little bit and said what are you guys doing for dinner tonight? They said oh we're all doing a cookout, I said oh that sounds like fun. They didn't ask what I was doing or invite me which I thought was rather rude. I actually only spent one night there and left early. I just didn't feel welcome.

This is the only all male campground in Michigan and the only campground within 150 mile radius that has it's own dance club and not just a dance area. The camp features a wonderful pool and sundeck area. The bathrooms were fully renovated prior to opening of the camp. The Lodge building provides a place for indoor gatherings and food functions when we aren't under restrictions for Covid-19. There are a wide variety of theme weekends throughout the season. Once camper indicated a problem with tenting which was a surprise as the camp offers a number of tenting site including both electric/water and primitive. There is one section of primitive camping that is very rustic in the middle of a tree lined area. Hopefully this individual will return and request a tenting site in a different area on their next visit. Covid-19 has put a damper on some of the events as the campground has limited attendance and restricted activities to ensure the safety of their guests. Hopefully next year we can return to the full array of activities including the frequent potlucks for which the camp was so well known.

    Cottonwood has always been my first trip of every year, since when it was KOA Kampground decades…read moreago. It's local and I always used it to iron out any kinks that may arise throughout the season before I go camping elsewhere farther away. They haven't had a lot to offer in terms of recreation for a long time, but I still enjoyed the simple atmosphere and ability to camp 'rustic' if that was my goal for the weekend. For many years the price was excellent, but the past couple of years the price has gone up ridiculously. I will not spend $50+ per night for a campsite at a campground that has so little to offer. Especially when you can go to bigger campgrounds that have more to do for less. It MIGHT be that I live so close by that there's not even anything interesting to see AROUND the campground, as where other cities may have some sites I'd be interested in seeing or places to go. But, for a campground like Cottonwood, with nothing to offer IN the campground, I don't see why anyone would pay that much when there's absolutely NOTHING interesting for people to see within 50 miles of the place. For being the state capital, Lansing is basically nothing but ghetto anymore. Even Detroit has better things to do!

I loved our back-in spot that was on the pond. My golden retriever wasted no time in jumping into the big pond and started swimming. She loved it! Since we were at one of the pond spots, the pool, playground, and bathroom were very close by. The playground can use some updating, but that's not a big deal. The pool and deck area were clean. The kids were having fun and that's fine by me also. The bath house was recently updated. It was very clean and updated. Shower area was clean also, I was never worried about seeing random bugs or giant gross puddles. It's very well kept. The dogs and I took a few walks while we were there. If you go past the baseball fields, you get to the back section of the campground, more suited for tent camping. Those sites were very well-covered by the trees. That walk was very pleasant. The campground was super close to MSU campus, so that was a plus also. One minute you're on campus, the next minute you're in the country. We went around mid June and that Cottonwood was no joke. The campground certainly lived up to its name. It was basically a Cottonwood blizzard. Thank goodness I'm not allergic, but that may be a consideration for some. Like someone else said on their review, the fire pit wasn't a fire pit, it was a basically a huge divot in the ground that you can easily trip on because it's so shallow. We didn't use it because we didn't have time, but it's technically not false advertising because they didn't say "fire ring" as the amenity. Overall, we had a great experience and looking forward to coming back if we're ever back in the Lansing area.

Lots of, possibly the majority of, people here are on seasonal sites, and some make these these quite homey, with screened porches, hedges, light displays and statuary. Campers are packed pretty tightly together, but if you came here you probably weren't looking for solitude. Though there were a lot of people here, it was quiet overall. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. Other campers were pretty friendly too. The firewood we got was dry and easy to burn. We appreciated the cleanliness. The grounds were well maintained, and bathrooms and showers were kept very clean. Plenty of hot water in the showers, though water pressure gets weak if more than one person is showering at the same time. If you don't feel like walking all the way to the modern bathhouse, there are outhouses scattered through the campground, though I'd recommend just walking to the bathhouse. Rockey's is situated on a chain of small lakes, and there are some decent fish to be found in these. There's a concrete boat launch, as well as fishing boats and canoes for rent. When I was unloading my kayak by the boat launch, one of the owners said it was no problem for me to leave it on the lawn by the launch, and that I could safely leave all my gear by it with no worries. He as right. We were tent camping, which I think few people do there, and this did present some inconveniences. Some of the sites have few trees...like ours, and a little protection from the sun would have been nice. A lack of trees also left us with no place to string up our clothesline. There are streetlights along the campground lanes, which are handy for walking to the bathhouse after dark, but make your tent very bright at night. Rockey's doesn't cater to tenters, but some do come there, and for them it will be less than ideal. But for others it should be more than satisfactory,
