Gorgeous setting. Beautiful dunes. Quiet. Family friendly. Be sure to see the lighthouse! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Some of the sites are close together but all in all a very nice state park. Lots of bike/walking trails and miles of clean sandy beach on Lake Michigan. They have internet access for an extra fee, but it is not available at your site. You have to go to the office to use it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had a site in the back of the Pines Campground (45). We were disappointed to find the sites so close together. It almost looked like a parking lot. Some of the sites along the edge were more private (backing into the woods or dunes). The park as a whole is fantastic. We loved the Lake Michigan beach and floating along the Big Sable River. The lighthouse tour is another must see. The odd thing about the newer restroom buildings is the lack of hand dryers. I'm sure we'll camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Beautiful spacious campsites. Ours was 48' wide. Nice fire pits. Paved roads. A store is available with rental bicycles and boats. There are two lakes and a stream. There is a nature center, bike trails, a dam, a restaurant and a lighthouse. The trees are magnificent. This would be a 10 if it had sewer and water. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park for camping. Nice sites with mature trees and friendly staff. Nice trails and waterfront sites. Only advice would be to keep food away at night from the racoons. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very well kept park. Rangers were friendly. Wish they had sewer hookup, but would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Tent.

This is a very, very large state park in the Michigan park system. It has wonderful perks, including both a inland lake and lake Michigan shoreline - miles of it!! It is one of the most scenic parks in the system. It has miles of paved bike paths, and a Dam from which many people were fishing. It has a fish hatchery and amazing beaches. No really bad sites, although many are tight together, but most are well shaded. None on Lake Michigan - but when you book you might think they are so read carefully. The best campsites (in our opinion) are furthest from Lake Michigan -Beechwood Campground. Sites 316-322 are on an inland lake but no beach just weeds, still it is a nice view. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the best and most popular state parks in Michigan. This park fills up very fast from Memorial Day thru Labor Day as soon as booking is available online which is 6 months in advance. So book quickly or off season. Many large and shaded sites. There are three campground and we prefer the one closest to Lake Michigan. To us the sites here seem a bit bigger and not so packed in and a bit more "primative". The shower building however is quite new. Also the high sand dunes right behind the campgound provide some shelter from high winds coming in off the lake. Lots of activities to do from canoe and boating on the inland lake and river to the huge sandy beach to tons of hiking and biking trails including a 3 mile round trip to the lighthouse which you can climb to the top of the tower and go outside! There is a camp store in the middle campground which has just about anything you need. The town of Ludington is about 10 miles away and has a Walmart (along with everything else) should you need something. We'll be back when we can. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a beautiful campground. This park has only 30 amp service, no water at site and one dump. We had to purchase state park entrance stickers for 4 dollars daily and pay 25 dollars a day to stay there (29 dollars a day total) too pricey for what you get. We were told we were lucky even to get a site, without at least fours months notice for registration. Needless to say we only stayed a couple of days. Full service parks in area are only a couple of dollars more a day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean, very friendly. This is a big but quiet park that is worth every penny. The layout is perfect. They put the extra into making your stay perfect. We have stayed here twice and have made 2 reservations for this season. Close to downtown Ludington. Shopping is also near the park. They have monthly activities & special events which they have posted on their web site so you know what is going on in the park; easy to plan ahead that way. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I can't think of a negative thing to write about this park. For those with kids, it is the greatest. For those looking for the great outdoor adventure, this place isn't for you; it's right in the middle of town. So much to do there and in the surrounding area. Everything was spotless, the staff was kind and helpful, and the sites were great, being concrete with a nice patio....Making reservations for it again right now..... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice park. It has three pools and two hot tubs. The adult pool and hot tub is enclosed. The bathrooms and showers in the new camping section are excellent. The entire park is very well maintained. The biggest drawback to this park is it has a little noise due to roads, trains and airplanes nearby. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the nicest campgrounds we've ever stayed at. The sites are large and level. Most have concrete patios and some have concrete pads as well. The restrooms and showers were spotless. They have 3 pools, 1 outdoor family, 1 outdoor adult, and 1 indoor family. There is a large pond with paddle boats and fishing. The only negative are the trains that pass along the back of the campground. Fortunately, they seem to only come and go in the late afternoon and early evening. Also, be aware that they have started to install a sprinkler system in some parts of the campground. It might get some of your outdoor items wet when it goes off at 5:30 am. All in all, a great campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

One of the nicest campgrounds we have been to in the 14 years we have camped. Already have reservations for next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Quality operation. Nice park. Pool and Bathrooms were spotless. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean campground. The Grass on our site was as nice as mine at home. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Although I am fairly new to this site, I have been RVing for years and stayed in 100 parks all over the country. This is the first park I have been tempted to give a 10. This was our third visit and wanted to stay a week but they were already booked full for all summer weekends by March. Settled for 5 days (Sun-Thur). The only major negative is pay Wi-Fi. Others might not like the openness of the the standard sites and the park's location in a commercial area. This is a big, busy family RV resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our family loves Ponchos Pond. They run a really clean and affordable RV park. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The park offers many activities for young children not to mention a stocked fishing pond. There are many large pull-thru sites with concrete fire rings and daily trash pickup. The cable television has closed circuit television of the pools (one indoor, two outdoor), the game room and the laundry room. Great park. Already made reservations for next 4th of July. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Ponchos Pond is awesome, it is the place to be. The staff are wonderful and will go out of their way to help you. The family activities they do are so much fun. We will keep going back here without a doubt! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a beautiful park, very, very well kept. The grass is always green and the landscaping is stunning. They have a good size pond that is stocked for kids fishing. The lots are all of good size, most of the trees are not very mature yet. The pools are all very well kept and the park quiets right down during quiet hours. We stayed at lot 57 and have visited previously and will probably visit each year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great family oriented campground. The staff is very friendly and helpful! Lots to do in the Ludington area and in the campground itself. The kids had a great time fishing in stocked pond and playing on the playground. Indoor pool is a great new addition to this already wonderful campground. We'll definitly be back!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean and organized operation. Nice sites, many full concrete pads. Short drive to Lake Michigan and great beaches. Lots of activities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a tough one. This wasn't what most people (I would assume) consider "camping". This RV destination in sandwiched between a busy state road and an equally busy train track. Both may be heard throughout the night. There are many convenient paved and level pads on which to park. However, there are so few trees, that there isn't much reprieve from the heat - approx. 85 - 90 degrees F the days we stayed there. The lawns that they do have are meticulously taken care of, and there are several beautifully landscaped flower beds and gardens, they just aren't where the campers are staying. It is similar to camping in a busy strip mall parking lot. One of our children even exclaimed on the first morning that he could see the (insert name of giant fast food chain with golden "M") sign from our site. Not exactly what I call getting away from it all. On the other hand, the facilities that were there, were immaculately kept. The grounds, showers, laundry, etc, were very well maintained thanks to a very industrious owner who was always hard at work. In the same vein, the staff were very proficient and extremely friendly. The "lake" that this place offers is actually small pond decent enough for little ones who like to fish. I feel bad giving this place a 7 score, because I'm sure for some people, it's wonderful and the staff works so hard to make it a clean environment. I guess we were just looking for something a little more wooded. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the nicest family campground I have ever been in. Staff is very helpfull and friendly and will lead you to your site. All sites are good, some concrete paved, some ground asphalt, all are level and very spacious and easy to get into reguardless of the size of your rig. There are two pools - one for families and one for adults only with a hot tub. There is a beautiful catch & release pond in the middle of the park with paddle boat rentals. TONS of activities for kids, both planned and unplanned. Each site has a sunken concrete fire pit (no steel truck rims here). The owner is very hands on - you will see him all over the park taking care of business and seeing that everything is running smoothly. The grounds are beautiful with neatly mowed grass and lots of small trees and planting areas. There are many seasonals here and ALL are very nice and neatly kept. I can't say enough good about this place. Don't come here without reservations. They are already full for the July 4, 2006 week. We are on the waiting list. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I have seen the best...and it is called Poncho's Pond! We have stayed here several times and every visit is a true pleasure. The whole facility is excellent! Poncho, Nan and their staff make you feel welcome every time-they are a class act. They also plan some great activities for the family-you can see they take great pride in this and everything they do. I can't rave enough about this place-they are one of the few true premier RV resorts in Michigan! There are quite a few campground owners who could take some pointers from Poncho and Nan. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice campground. It is "Big Rig Friendly" It has some buddy sites and most are good sized. It has outdoor and indoor pools, plus an adult spa. The only draw back to this park is location. It is very noisy due to railroad tracks and airport just a few yards away. The staff is very friendly and the park is always clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Poncho's Pond is about 5 minutes away from a beautiful sandy beach on Lake Michigan. They have two pools, one for adults only and one for families along with a spa. It is an immaculate park and has very friendly hosts. We camped here in a camper.

Very nice, camp staff was very friendly! We would go back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice pool. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, newer campground. Location near downtown Ludington. Wal-Mart across the street. Garbage pick up service. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
