A great family park with lots of activities for the kids (game room, swimming pond, fishing pond, bike and paddle boat rentals, water slides, and a large playground with play structures for toddlers as well as older kids). Campground has lots of undeveloped space for playing catch, frisbee, baseball, etc. Campground access roads are wide and accessible. If you have a larger camper you probably want to stick to the larger sites that are west of the entrance roads (sites 36 - 76) ... the back half of the campground is heavily treed and can be a tight squeeze. Also note that water electric sites 69 through 76B have shared hook-ups so it is advisable to have extra electrical cord and hose to reach the hookups. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very expensive -- they charge for kids, charged for dog. $65 a night. Sites were dirt, loud speaker announcements every hour, very loud and annoying. We have stayed at other KOAs and they were much better and cheaper. This place is a ripoff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Older campground but nice. My kids loved it. It gets very busy on the weekends, with a lot of tent campers. I would stay again for a short trip only. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an older KOA that is a little tired but aging well. The campground staff was very helpful and friendly. The sites have concrete runners for the trailer with the remainder in grass. No cable TV but this is not a hugh issue for short stay as there is excellent TV reception from both Detroit and Toledo. The WiFi worked very well and had good reception from our site. This is a good park for an overnight stay and a side trip to Cabelas in nearby Dundee is a must for any outdoors enthusiast. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I took our son here for a schools out father and son camping trip. Upon registering I told them that I would be staying two nights, and possibly a third, they said it would not be a problem. After the second night they told me I had to check out by noon. I was very displeased with the quality of the staff and the rates. I e-mailed my disappointment to the host, only to recieve a response of "oh well". They do have two lakes one for swimming and one for fishing and canoe rentals. There is a waterslide as well. The camp store is stocked with everything you could need. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here from Wed. through Mon. During the weekdays it was nice and quiet. Weekends were very busy and loud. Friendly staff and patrolmen for the weekend. One item to work on would be to have some children supervised activities that the staff do (treasure hunts, crafts, etc...). They only have a wagon ride for the kids and this is only on the weekends. Plenty of things to do at campground. Nice shady sites. Restrooms do need some cleaning up and very few to use for such a large campground. Wifi is very limited as to where it can be received. No swimming pool to swim in only what is at the end of the water slide. Love that the slide is free during the weekdays. Close to many attractions. Have stayed here twice and would be willing to stay again, only during the weekdays. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Staff and campgrounds VERY nice. We stayed Monday to Friday. Pretty quiet early in the week and pretty full by the end. My only complaint is the showers were pretty dirty by the end of the week. Other than that I would stay here again. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Nice KOA, good size sites and nice amenities. They have a very large playground area and I especially liked the fact that there is a separate fenced off area specifically for small toddlers with Little Tykes climbers, playhouses, etc. We have only stayed here in the fall for their Halloween weekends (great fun, not to be missed!) but they seem to have some nice activities for the summer including a waterslide and swimming lake, bike rentals, and mini-golf. Campground is owned by a very nice family and staff is very accommodating. Camp store is well stocked as well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Double the price for a theme weekend. We went during the Halloween theme. $50.00 doesn't include kids and pets. Beware of the speakers in the trees they are very annoying. Good Morning Campers at 8am. We might return but it will not be during any theme event. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Swimming water is a natural water pond and looks smucky. Lots of trees, which is great for shade, but also creates an umbrella effect for all the smoke from campfires. We were there for Halloween and I haven't been back because the smoke was so bad. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A lot for the kids to do, swimming, playground, but the park was extremely high priced, had to pay extra for water slide, boats and bike rental, charged extra for family to come in and visit. The showers were always dirty. We stayed a week and won't go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The security at this campground was a nightmare.If you don't chain everything down , It might be gone in the morning. The staff could care less about any problems you might have. We camped here in a camper.

Looking for a family campground where you will want to come back again, this KOA is it! Privately owned by a family, the family runs the campground and are very friendly. They are located on US-23 at Exit #9 in Michigan...you won't be disappointed. We camped here in a camper.
We stayed here twice this year, and it was beautiful both times. There are two lakes, one for just fishing and the other for just swimming. This campground also has a driving range. The campground has a lot of activities for kids and adults. Also Cabela's is a very short drive away which is a must for any outdoor enthusiast. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Really nice park. Very quiet. About 2 1/2 miles from the highway. Large pull throughs. VERY family oriented. Would make a could place to spend a few days. We will be back at some point. We camped here in a Motorhome.
