We stayed here in mid April, though it was a little chilly, the park itself was pretty empty except for people camping for the same event. The bathroom were clean and park officials where very accommodating. This is a state park and a must stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, but it is a great family atmosphere. It has an excellent beach for swimming especially with small children because the water is so shallow. It is a great recreation lake and has many activities in the surrounding area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park has a nice indoor pool that is warm and a well equipped playground. Staff was courteous and friendly during check in. Sites in the full-hookup part of the campground (sites 100 - 118) have a row of trees/bushes that provide some shade/privacy from the adjoining sites and once on the sites they are grassy and spacious. This campground, however, was not designed to accommodate larger units. The roads and camp-site entrances are very narrow and trees close to the roads make it difficult to maneuver. I have a 34 foot travel trailer and found maneuvering into and out of a pull-through site to be very difficult. I do not believe I would be able to maneuver my trailer through or fit into any of the non full-hookup sites in the campground. There are many seasonal sites in this campground.

This review is a tough one. I must preface this by saying that we had a good time this weekend. First the good stuff. We had a nice site that was well shaded. We were right next to the play ground that also had a fairly nice sand volleyball court. This was nice because our young children spent a lot of time at the play ground. Indian Valley also has a canoe livery. On Saturday we took a 2.5 hour kayak trip down the river. My kids had a blast. Saturday night they also had a live band come in (according to seasonals this was the first time in 2 years). The band sounded good and it was fun. Now for some negatives. This campground is at least 80% seasonal. I mean were old campers go to die seasonals. There were a few nice campers, but for the most part the majority looked bad. The roads were very narrow. Some one would have to pull over to the side to let the other vehicle pass. This was a little aggravating try to maneuver a 31" fifth wheel. On their web site they advertise a beach, bur you could hardly call it a beach. There might have been 3 or 4 feet roped of for swimming with a water slide that didn't hit the water. We drove 45 min to Holland to visit a beach. With all of the other nice campground in Michigan, I don't think we will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
