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.

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.

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

I have mixed feelings about this campground…read more Let's start with the positives. My kids had a great time riding their bikes, playing mini golf, and enjoying the playground. They also loved having the volleyball and basketball courts. Another huge plus was that I didn't get bitten by a single mosquito the entire trip, which was amazing. Food prices were also reasonable. Unfortunately, there were several issues that really affected our stay. We spent the day at Michigan's Adventure and returned to the campground around 10:30 p.m. Only then did we discover we were locked out of the campground. I was alone with my kids because my husband had gone back home for work. I called every emergency number posted at the check-in office multiple times, but no one answered. We waited in our car for about 30 minutes until a seasonal camper kindly let us in using their gate code. Had they not stopped to help, I have no idea how long we would have been waiting. I left multiple voicemails and never received a call back--not even the next day to ask if we had made it in safely. That was very disappointing. Another issue was the pools. They were extremely cold--too cold to comfortably enjoy. The hot tub was only warm, not hot, which is why I allowed my kids to sit in it with me for a few minutes. Staff came over and told us we had to get out because children weren't allowed. I understand and respect that rule, but it would have been nice if the regular pools had been warm enough to use. Finally, I specifically paid extra for a campsite because the website advertised it as having a concrete pad. I prefer concrete because it helps keep dirt out of the camper. When I asked about it in the office, I was told they don't have any sites with concrete pads. I explained that the website advertises them and charges more for those sites. Instead of addressing the issue, the employee responded, "Well, be thankful you don't have one because if you fall, you won't scrape your knees," and walked away. That response was unprofessional and dismissive. Overall, the campground has some great amenities for families, but the lack of emergency support, inaccurate campsite descriptions, cold pools, and poor customer service left us disappointed.

Check in was a breeze, and staffer even showed us to our site. Bathrooms and shower buildings are cleaned regularly. My full hookup site was great. Heads up: Most of not all roads are dirt, and they can be muddy and puddly after a rain. And none of the sites I saw had paved pads for your RV. It can be a chore to keep the dirt and mud out of your rig, but that's camping.

If you have adult children who camp with you, this seems like a money grab and gets expensive very quickly. Lastly, they are very rude about checking out.

They saw that we were packing up and even though no one was occupying the site, they kept badgering us about leaving. Perhaps a bit more tact when approaching customers would've been appreciated.

We absolutely LOVE it! Our most recent trip was for a week surrounding the 4th of July. The majority of this review will be based on this trip. The tubing is excellent and there are numerous places to put in and an obvious landing to get out. We bring our own tubes. The trail guides have been wonderful with young children and helping them feel confident on horse back. The trails are scenic and we enjoyed seeing turkey's and more dragon flies than I have ever seen before. The on-site bike trails are minimally groomed (some downed logs,etc across the path - although it did storm twice while we were there) but easily passable. One trail is a little boys dream with jumps, short steep hills and fast turns. I can still hear him yelling "This is totally AWESOME" as he raced around the loop. If you want well groomed trails, there is an entrance to White's Bridge Trail near the entrance to the camp ground. We swam in the pool (very clean considering the number of people using it), played baseball, badminton, volleyball and frisbee in the giant open field behind the camp store. We enjoyed a free hot dog roast, kids watermelon eating contest and fireworks provided by the campground. The kids enjoyed the recently updated playground and basketball courts too. Some people talked about the bathrooms getting dirty. First, there are more than one set of bathrooms and they are building more now. I think the ones attached to the pool probably do get dirty considering the level of usage. This would be true of any campground. Admittedly, we did not use the showers or bathrooms often because we were in an RV. The items in the camp store are mostly very well priced. A few things are pricey but other things are very inexpensive - it balances out very well. The food at the clubhouse was tasty, the employees were always courteous and helpful. The kids loved taking a break with ice cream, foozeball, and old fashioned video games (arcade style Atari games). This is a very reasonably priced, family owned facility. It may not be as pristine as some corporate campgrounds but it also isn't priced like a corporate camp ground would be. The sites are various sizes, relatively level and most are nicely shaded. To the person complaining about being charged extra for spending extra time on the river with the rented canoes -really?! If you rent the canoe for a three hour trip but keep the canoe for six hours, you have taken someone else's canoe rental. The manager was right to ask for a larger rental fee! I know they are lenient with canoe retrieval times so if it was noticed that you kept the canoes for extra time, you WERE taking advantage. Shame on you for giving them a poor review for calling you out on your selfish behavior! Ultimately, this is a family friendly campground that we will continue to visit each year. Thank you Double R for some great memories!
