Our first experience with this park was at registration. We expected a nightly rate of $19, but had to pay an additional $5 just for registering, then a whopping $8 a day for the entrance fee. Since we had only planned for a two-night stay - this totaled at over $30 a night for a spot with no water or sewer at site. There is only one water fill location per campground loop. The dumpsters are located at the front of the park outside the campground gate. The park is surprisingly clean considering the dumpsters are located so far away. The sites are very private and lots of trees and vegetation abound. The electric boxes can be quite far away from your site. We have a 25 foot electric cord and had to use an extension. We saw some sites which would have been impossible even with our extension. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really like this park for it's rustic nature. Majority of sites are very large and those in the forest parts are private, surrounded by trees and brush. Many sites have a "driveway" which then opens up into a large clearing in the woods in the back. Fort Custer is actually a State Recreation Area and not a state park. This means there are lots of activities such as fishing and boating on one of the many lakes or the river, hunting and tons of mountain bike trails. If you are expecting lots of things to do for the kids you should look elsewhere. However there is a very nice and large beach on a lake so there is something for the kids to do. Bugs can be bad. I think it's just the nature of being in the woods and near water. Bug spray is a must or have a screen room. There is one shower/bathroom facility per loop. Personally I think they need more on busy weekends. But we took showers in the "off hours" and didn't have a wait. They were generaly clean but I've seen better at other state parks. There is no camp store but wood and ice are available at the campground office. Horeshoe pits are near the camp host. BIG NOTE: There is no alcohol allowed in the park! I'm certainly known to toss a few back myself but I actually find this refreshing. I don't know how strict they are but not having a drunk loud party next to you is pretty nice for a change. Overall we will be back despite the bugs. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This trip was a disaster from the outset. The sites were muddy. Very wooded campground, but the mosquitos were so bad we could not sit by the fire, even wearing heavy-duty bug spray. Shower/restrooms were far away and not clean. The shortcut path to the building was too muddy to use. The beach/lake and its facilities were very nice but I would not stay at the campground again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very nice quiet campground on the edge of town. Very private sites. Swimming beach was awesome. This is a state park so they charge a fee to get in plus your site fee. But we only paid $17 and fee of $4 per day and was well worth it. Had a very enjoyable time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
