We stayed here last summer for a month and returned this summer. The park has added 1 more rv site and they are working on a small clubhouse. The manager is very friendly and will go out of the way to accomodate you. The price I quoted is for Non Elk Members. They also have a monthly rate that is very reasonable and includes electricity. Members of the Elks Club get a discount from this price. If you stay at the RV Park, you can go into the Elks Lodge which is nice but it is a smoking establishment. The RV Park Clubhouse is a Non-Smoking room. This is still a very nice park to stay at while in Jackson, MI and visiting family and friends. We will return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is behind the Jackson Elks Lodge. It is on the edge of town near the intersection of I-94 and 127 North. Patrons of the park can use the Elks lounge and restaurant. This is a small park, but it is the nicest in the area with full hookups. They are planning to expand the park in 2008. They are open from May 15 to Oct 15. They also have monthly and seasonal rates available as well as reduced prices for Elks Members. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Greenwood Acres is taking on a new appearance. They are constantly working on upgrading. The staff is nice and the store is well stocked. This is a family park, so the speed limit is 10 MPH. Many stop signs to help keep traffic slow. No one under age of 25 can drive in the park. They advertise a DRUG FREE Zone, so if you are aware of any please report it to the office. They do patrol the park with a golf cart all hours. Be sure to bring your own drinking water, this water has many minerals in it. It is a large park so you will want your bikes (or a golf cart)to get around. The sites are close together, some are larger than others, some have trees and some don't, but most have nice grass. They have recently updated the Recreation center, put up a new playground for kids, paved some of the roads, and worked on one of the tennis courts. They do have many seasonal campers with golf carts, who are usually friendly. There are many things to do especially on the weekends. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As many of the older reviews have stated, the campground is very outdated and unmaintained. The one shower/restroom house we used was pretty rough. of the 8 stalls, 6 are boarded closed, 2 are "operational" as they are sitting on painted wood boxes. There were 2 working showers. The facility was flooded due to the storms the night before. There are many many permanent units that are absolutely hideous. There are very few trees and the sites are pretty tight together. Picture a traditional trailer park and then lower the bar about 5 feet. The grounds are huge as this is a campground with around 1100 sites. We came here on the recommendation of some friends and I can honestly say that we'll stick to the State Parks. It's cheaper, the facilities are far nicer, and the people are much more friendly. golf carts are all over the place and bike are required to have lights after sunset. Look elsewhere, you'll be much happier you did. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a fairly nice park with a lot of seasonal campers. They allow are golf carts, there are many things to do, but some of the amenities appear very old and not well maintained. The staff is nice and the store is well stocked. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There are a lot of seasonal campers here and some of them are very poorly maintained and unsightly. There are a lot of golf carts being driven around, which I don't care for. This is a very big park, so you do want to have your bikes to get around. On the positive side, there are many things to do, but some of the activities appear very old and not well maintained. Our site was very wide (40 or 50 feet), level, and had nice grasss. The store is well stocked. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This place treats the non-seasonal campers horrible. I have two teenagers, a boy and a girl. They were up playing basketball when some other teens came up, took their ball and called them "WEEKENDERS". When my son took the ball back the kid punched him! Needless to say the park did nothing. We also were called weekenders by these same teens who double as night patrol. They actually yelled at us when my kids went to the bathroom and said "they are sick and and tired of telling us they can't be off the site after 11pm and they told us last weekend" . The only problem with that is WE WEREN'T THERE THE WEEKEND BEFORE! The main office and groundspeople are rude. Everyone treats your horribly if you are not a seasonal person. I would not recommend taking children there or use of any of the amenities. These teens try to rule the park. It is not a good park. Save your time, money and headaches. Go to go to a state park, you will have a better time. The bathrooms and showers were horrible. They have seasonals who watch over the pool. I think they been in the sun too long. They are so mean. I am in my 40's and they treated me like a child. They are very nasty and yell the whole time. The tram and double dicker bus are nice but my kids could not go on it alone for fear of these park bullies. The people camping behind us had the same problem with their 9 year old twins girls. These girls were terrorized at the beach by these bullies. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I stayed here for the fall Michigan race (NASCAR). I think half of the sites have full hook ups now. That's 500 sites of mostly men using 2 shower houses. It was hard to keep the restrooms clean. I would go back for a race weekend. The atmosphere was wonderful. It's about 35 minutes to the track on race day. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is still in the revamping stages ... recent addition of full hookup system left the camping areas very muddy with the Spring rains. While we were away from our site the area was Hydro-seeded and the crews sprayed the seed on everything out in the open (electrical cord, sewer hose, waterhose, carpet, picnic table, chairs and worst of all, the whole lower half of motor home. I was told by gate personnel there was nothing they could do about it ... it is truely a mess. Another detracter was when my sons came to visit for an hour they were charged 3 dollars each to enter
the campground and then not allowed to ride their motorcycles to the camp site. If I had not had a car they would have had to walk almost a mile to and from the gate to my site. Several low hanging branches were cause for concern for the roof of my motorhome ... if I had come in at night I'm sure damage would have occured. This campground appears to be catering to the more permanent park models with just a few true RV sites mixed in. I will have second thoughts before
using this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Could be a really nice place with some work. Many seasonal campers, lots of kids around, everyone friendly. Ok for a night or two, as I prefer to use my own facilities anyway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very large campground on Goose Lake. Sites need some work, bathrooms also, but the place is slowly being upgraded. There is a tram to get you around, also a doubledecker bus. A lot of seasonal campers w/golf carts, but we were able to get a full hookup site. This could be a super campground given some work, but still enjoyed it. The staff and fellow campers were very, very helpful, friendly and willing to make your stay enjoyable. Definitely need a bike or car if you don't use the tram to get around. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Has the makings of a nice park, but short on needed items like bath houses. What is there is tremendously overused, and a long walk from most sites. Full hookup sites advertised but most all occupied by seasonal campers. All in all has potential, but not my idea of a "A" campground. more like a "C" in my book. Especially didn't like having to wait in line at the dump station since there was only 1 available for a CG
this big. We camped here in a camper.
We have a dually/36' high-profile fifth wheel. Our pull-through site was large and easy to access. A delightful park in a lovely, lake setting. Well kept and tidy. Friendly staff. Would love to re-visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This RV Park is in a nice wooded setting near Jackson and Grass Lake. Well maintained. But beware. The manager, a relative of the owner, can be difficult. Be on your best behavior at all times, or risk a dressing-down like you would expect from a drill sergeant. Go WAY below the speed limit, or you may have an intense and nasty encounter. Really disgraceful behavior. We do our best to follow campground rules and we have never had problems with a campground manager before. We do not like to do business with people who do not respect their customers, and we would never expose ourselves to such treatment at this RV park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
