PROS: Kitchen sink for doing dishes; nice bike/hiking path around pond; paddle boats/canoe/kayaks for rent; washer/dryer. CONS: sandy sites (very messy and trailer started to sink); sites are small, no where to park; dump station is right in front of bathrooms--kind of gross; not a lot to keep kids busy. KOA personnel zealous to enforce some rules but not all. Got very upset when someone came to visit us and didn't check in the office within 5 minutes, but let someone take a bath in the lake. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Some staff were nice. Owners need lessons on dealing with the public. They say pets allowed but it was obvious they hate dogs. They would be better off to just ban pets. Our dog was chained at our site which was three sites from the office. I walked to the office to use the restroom (#1). I did my business and washed my hands- walked out of the door and the owner "accosted" me because my dog had barked at him as he passed my site. Only gone from my site for maybe 3 minutes. The sites are small and they put the largest units on each sites possible. Some people couldn't even park their tow vehicle on their site but had to park in the "visitor" parking area. The ground is sandy black dirt and is very messy especially when wet. For the kind of money they charge they should make improvements. In over 20+ years of camping this was overall the worst facility I have stayed at. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The site was filthy, tiny. Apparently on the beach meant 'overlooking swamp'. On the site next to us there were at least 10 loud people and a barking dog. You can see and hear the highway, there isn't much to do. The bathroom wasn't clean, the shower was tiny, dark, and had standing water. It was awful. We paid for 3 nights but on the first night called a relative to have them book a site at Silver Lake State Campground. Campground refused refund, then relented and said we could have a partial refund and campground credit. However upon checkout we got neither! Silver Lake campsite HUGE, beautiful and just what we wanted. We camped here in a Tent.

Though the sites are not as large, I found this campground to be well maintained and staffed. We found that the campground was quiet at night while we were there. However, other than renting a paddle boat or a canoe, there were not a lot of things for younger children to do other than a small playground across the road and a basketball hoop. Otherwise, it is very close to the Michigan Adventure Amusement Park and a good place to relax after a long day of rollercoasters and water rides. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was a typical overpriced, under maintained KOA. Roads were gravel/dirt. Sites were grass/dirt and small. There were lots of trees. The park is on a small lake and has a walking trail around the lake. The park was full of kids and tents, not a place for anyone looking for a quite place to relax. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped in the channel campground section of this park. The lake campground section is down the road about 2 miles. We had a site overlooking Muskegon Lake. We really liked the area, being able to enjoy both Muskegon lake and Lake Michigan. They are having problems with pine beetles and a lot of the pine trees have been cut down and left for campers to use as firewood. Fortunately there are oak and cottonwood trees, so there is still shade. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There is the channel campground and the Lake Michigan campground. We've stayed at the Lake Michigan campground once and it was a bit hilly on some sites. Our favorite part is the Channel campground. You can watch the big ships come in from Lake Michigan to Muskegon Lake. You can swim in Muskegon Lake or Lake Michigan. The beaches are very nice. Lots of sand dunes and such to play in. This is one of our favorites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Gorgeous state park on Lake Michigan. Camping fee doesn't include daily park access fee of $8 or purchase an annual pass for $29 (less for MI residents) which provides access to all MI state parks. Easy online registration includes descriptions of each site. Campground is located in an 1100 acre state park, with tall forests, just a short walk to beach and monstrous wooded dunes. Bath houses super modern, clean, and accessible. Most sites huge, shady, level with sand/dirt surface and 30 or 50 AMP hookup. Water nearby, no sewer hookups. No low brush but some privacy created by sites being spaced well apart. New playgound, hiking trails adjacent. Park's education center fun and informative. Don't skip the stair walk to viewing platform on top of 200-foot dune overlooking Lake Michigan. We didn't care for the nearby city of Muskegon. Grand Haven, 10 minutes south, was fun. Less than one hour to dune rides/Jeep rentals in Silver Lake. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

A very nice State Park featuring forest covered dunes along nearly 3 miles of Lake Michigan shore. While here we visited the Gillette Visitor Center which is very nice with lots of information regarding the dunes. Nice hiking trails heading toward Lake Michigan. Clean bath houses!
