Did not stay here. Drove in and left. This is one big big dump. Looks like a pig pen and is one. I am going to pursue the CG's "ratings" with Woodalls and Trailerlife. Somebody is in bed with somebody for the ratings that are published for this dump. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Full-time/part-time Staff and Resident Staff were very friendly and helpful. Check-in took about 5-10 mins. When we got to our site and was about to back-in, we realized we needed to switch sites since we didn't have a long enough electric line for our reserved site...was able to move to adjacent site within minutes with the help of 2 resident staff members. Throughout the day and night, our site (West side of campground) was quiet and relaxing, except for the train tracks that were fairly busy (8-10 freight trains throughout the day) and noisy. For such a large campground, it was keep up fairly well. Overall, we would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived at the park from Mackinaw City on July 3rd. Upon entering the park we had to sign a waiver that if we hit anything they were not responsible. The roads were gravel, turns were tight, and nearly all of the sites are Lot Owners where they have put up fences to "protect" their land which made it difficult to navigate. The temporary spots in the park were not together or near the pool or playground. We were a 10 minute walk from the pool. I checked on golf cart rental and the pricing for our 5 day stay for the cart was $250 plus a $100 deposit. (which was more that our camping cost for the 5 days). Needless to say, we walked it. As we approached the weekend the conditions seemed to get worse. We ended up leaving on Saturday afternoon rather than Sunday (and lost our money for the last night) because the campground was so bad. I would not go there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

In my 8 years of camping this is the worst campground I have stayed at. As others have stated, the campground is virtually all seasonal with run-down trailers, sheds, fences, etc. The non-seasonal sites are scattered about throughout the grounds, not in a single location. Water went out one night and we were informed by the manager that is a regular occurrence. Our site was roughly 1/3 mile from the pool & lake, so we had to ride bikes. Roads were gravel and in poor repair causing my daughter to wreck her bike 5 times. Golf cart rental was $250 for 5 days. The pools were nice and they provide life guards. They had putt putt and pedal boat rental, but the guy working the booth was far from friendly. Most of the staff were teenagers, weren't very knowledgeable, and didn't seem to care much about our camping experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was ok for the most part on Friday afternoon/night but things started to change Saturday afternoon. It was obvious that the seasonals started to arrive from the City (Chicago)...It was a bit frightening for my family. The teenagers hung out in the playground and looked like an inner city gang. The adults were drunk and driving around in their golf carts not caring what their kids were doing. At one point a man actually yelled some profanities at a group of young teenage girls (commenting on their "nice @#!*") right in front of my camper and my little girls! I was sickened and my oldest daughter was scared the entire night that he would come back. We did like the idea of the activities at this park, but we will NOT return for fear of our safety! Also, this town appears to be so financially depressed and run down looking...not much of a "get-a-way" We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very tired campground with an extremely large number of permanent and semi-permanent residents. Drive to our site had many low hanging trees which scraped our antennas. So-called Big Rig site was long enough for our unit, but towed vehicle had to be parked sideways. 50 AMP power was OK when we first connected, but degraded overnight with huge power swings per our Power Monitor (Good Governor). Our Progressive Power Management System thankfully shutdown power from the pedestal during the night. At that point we turned off everything and opened all the windows. Very disappointing on the first night of a 6-week trip to SD, MT, WY. Rate is after 10% Club Yogi Discount. No bargain!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Literally the worst excuse for a "campground" we have ever encountered. In fact it is simply a collection of rotting permanent and semi-permanent trailers on cramped sites. Would never recommend this place under any circumstances. I've sent email to Jellystone (like someone above did) asking why they would allow their name on such a place, as I can find nothing to justify it. Clearly we will never go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was very noisy due to the trains coming through next to the campground every 20 minutes. This campground has lots of yearly campers with run down sites. The camp store was being run with kids and the facilities were not very clean. The put put golf course was falling apart. "Not for us" We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was the worst I have ever visisted. Filthy, unkept, and in dire need of matenience and mowing. I would guess that 95% of the sites are seasonal and not for weekend campers. Many lots for sale. I can see why. No activities for families. Lots of teenagers roaming around all day and night long. They also let anyone of any age drive golf carts. I have two teenage boys that wouldn't even go to the bball courts because they said the kids there were swearing and passing a joint around. Overall this place sucked. I am writing a letter to the Jellystone company to ask why they have their name on such a park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is in an area of town that looks very run down. The office staff was all teenagers who didn't appear to know what they were doing. The campground seems to be too big with too many sites to keep it clean and cared for. The washrooms were dirty when I went in the first time but were being cleaned at around 730pm when I was going for a shower. We had to wait for them to finish. The park is full of seasonal sites with a good number of dilapidated, rusty and unkept campers, popups and the such. It is a Passport America Campground. Had it not been for our long time on the road and not much else available in the area we would have turned around and left the park. I would not reccommend the park, and am surprised it has the Yogi Bear name attached to it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a terrible park - I cannot believe that Jellystone has their name on it. All the sites are cluttered with junk, rusted out golf carts, and storage sheds that are just about falling down. The outsides of the bathrooms were filthy - we didn't dare go inside of one. I can't express my extreme dismay at this facility. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
