We did not stay here, but previewed it prior to a 2 week stay in the South Haven area. It was a very well kept park, but very few spaces were open and I would NOT want to try and back anything larger than 35' or so into most of the spots. There were many trees that would be a problem with manuvering. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice shady park with level back-in sites. The bathhouse and laundry are great. No pets were allowed when we were here. The gentleman showed us a site and we requested the one next to it. There was no problem and he helped us back right in. The 30/50 amp is still a problem. If 50 is taken, you're stuck with 30 but we haven't had any problem with the A/C, appliances running on 30 so far and it is in the 80s. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I would like to differ with the preceding rating of Cousins' campground. We have stayed at this campground many times and have had a wonderful visit. The prior commentary had many inaccuracies, first of all there isn't a pool, the campground is located within a mile of Lake Michigan. The owners are very personable. The shower building is immaculate, which it seems that the previous campers failed to look at. As a dog owner,
my pet is more than welcome, but that would be due to the fact that we take care of our dog and clean up after it. It sounds to me that this camper had an attitude problem and didn't review this campground accurately. We camped here in a camper.

What a miserable place! The owners should find another line of business..not a bit friendly. The sites are much too close. Difficult to get in & out and not much room to park your tow vehicle. There are only 4 pull-thrus. They claim to have 30 & 50 amp hook-ups at each site, but fail to mention one electrical post must be shared by 2 sites. If you require a 30 amp, but are the 2nd coach there needing 30 amp, be prepared to get a lengthy speech from the owner about how it cost him $80 a piece to install electrical posts at each site & "do I know how much it would cost to provide everyone with 2-30's & 2-50's?" Then walk back to the office to obtain an adapter from his charming wife to the tune of an $18 deposit. She scowls each time you come into the office & finds it too difficult to raise her hand to so much as wave or acknowledge you anyway. Pets are allowed, but you'll learn in short order they are not welcome---must have a million signs placed around the park saying, "Keep Dogs Away". We camped here in a camper.
This is a 2-year old campground so therefore there are no trees yet. The campground is very well kept and the managers are very friendly. I would rate it higher if they had cable TV. It's very big-rig accessable. The free Wi-Fi was very strong at our site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campground. We were there for several days in a pull thru site. This campground is spotless. Bathrooms and showers are the best we have seen in a very long time. The location is convenient while at the same time being very peaceful. There are plenty of fun activities for the kids. This is a newer facility and is a work in progress. We look forward to staying there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We just spent our first camping trip of the year here this weekend. We stayed on the "premium" site which includes a kid's cabin, a swing and a hammock. Although the weather was dicey, our family had a very nice time. The owners had plenty of activities planned for the kids and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. It is a new park and still has some growing in to do while the 2nd and 3rd phases are developed, but it is a great place to take a family. The camp store is well stocked and the restrooms and showers were immaculate. We will definitely go back again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This new park is clean, friendly and well located. You can ride your bike to a bike trail 1/4 of a mile away; 10 minutes to the beach; 10 minutes to shopping and dining in quaint downtown South Haven. The owners are very friendly and highly accommodating. Showers are single "rooms" used by both sexes, with a family shower available. Bathrooms were kept clean and well stocked. The grounds are clean, with only a few sites, as this is a new park readying itself to grow! No shade trees yet, but wide open starry skies at night. The only reason we didn't give it a 10-was there was no pool. But again you're right down the road from the Lake. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
We loved this brand new campground too. Easy in and out for big rigs (+38'). Super friendly, family owned RV park. The campground is clean & well manicured, nice playground for kids if needed. Future expansion plans will include a pool. Morning trash pick-up, open sky for satellite TV, a pig roast on Labor Day, close to downtown South haven. NOTE: If you want a pull through, stay to the RIGHT on the road, stop & walk to the office to register - otherwise you will have to back up a little to be pointed in the right direction! Best big rig spot: #21. We would happily stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We loved this campground! The owners and staff were all very nice, the campground is very clean, the bathrooms and showers were exceptional, they had a lot of activities for the kids, the playground was very nice, sites were good sized. It is in a great location, just minutes from downtown South Haven and the beach. We just can't say enough nice things about this campground! We are already planning our trip back in the fall and again next summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a new park located just east of South Haven and the interstate. The sites are spacious, all have concrete pads, and a few are being improved with a coach house and landscaping. Nice "beach" on the lake; beautiful and well appointed clubhouse. Very friendly staff. Also, this park is very pet friendly! The sprinkler system is a bit over zealous and we had our pad drenched each day, but don't let that discourage you from staying here! We did find that the entry to the site was a bit tricky to avoid driving on the lawn with a 45 footer, and our friends had the same problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here in September....low Fall rate. Spotless!! We felt it catered to the higher end motorhomes, but was very comfortable with our 5th wheel. VERY friendly! Level concrete pads and are very accommodating for your extra vehicle. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This RV resort is one of the most beautiful places to stay in regards to the clubhouse and pool facilities. Clubhouse with a gorgeous nautical themed decor has a fully equipped kitchen, computer room, fireplace, games, a loaner library, two massage chairs (1.00 for 3 min.) a workout room, laundry facilities and more. The grounds are still being developed with plantings and trees, most sites are not shaded. Staff is VERY friendly and helpful. We've stayed here four times already and plan to stay more. Ownership of sites is promoted, but plenty of room for overnight guests and seasonal RVers. There is a beautiful bike trail called the Kal-Haven Bike Trail within a short distance of the park where you can bike four miles into S. Haven. Recommended restaurants: Thirsty Perch and Clementines. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The resort is growing, but still very young. The restrooms, pool and hot tub were very nice as well as clean. We would have liked to kayak or paddle boat on the small lake, but it cost $10 per hour to do so. No trees on sites, and grass still struggling. There is a small swimming beach with sand volleyball. People who own sites on this property were friendly, and staff was available. Sites a bit too close to consider purchasing. Near the beach and South Haven activities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very fine resort. Management is very nice and works hard to get everyone involved in activities. Pool/clubhouse area is wonderful. The park is still very new and some of the grass isn't 100% yet but they take very good care of the property. In 5 years, this will be top of the line. Only complaint is the lack of cable TV. Other than that, this is a great place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you are in South Haven, this is the park to choose. However, it is very pricey for what you get. The sites slope way down in the front. No cable TV and few local channels. People are allowed to walk through the lake front campsites to get to the lake and then they fish right in front of your RV! The staff is very friendly, but not very knowledgeable about running a campground. They have a way to go before they should call this a resort. We had no drinking water for 3 days because one of the wells was allowed to go down too far while they put water into the lake. No one ever came and told us when the water was safe. We heard it by word of mouth. Their weekly activities on the weekend usually cost money. The last one was $6.00 a person for a cheeseburger and some potato salad. Plus, they're always trying to sell you a lot, and think nothing of knocking on your door day or night or stopping you in the rain to discuss "opportunities". As I said, its the place to choose in South Haven, but it is definitely NOT a resort yet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is easily one of the top 10 RV resorts in the nation. This is a true resort with a wonderful staff, nice concrete pads with picnic table and fire ring, large clean heated pool, hot tub.....and the clubhouse....beatiful. It has a large plasma TV with satellite and surround sound. The wi-fi is free and fast. I can see four wireless sites from my laptop and good strong signal everywhere. This resort would qualify for a 10 if it had mature trees and I did have to use one board to level my fifth-wheel. One minor complaint that does not reflect on the park itself is that there is not a lot to do in South Haven other than the beach, fishing, and golf. If you are looking for a campground in this area, this is by far the best (we drove through the other local campgrounds). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a relatively new park, and very neat and clean. The sites and the roads are paved. Unfortunately, the sites are not level. Our was a back- in site, which sloped up hill so the front of the motor home was up high, and we had to use an extra step to access the door. For the price you would expect to have cable TV available. The local channels available with antenna are very snowy so if you don't have a dish on your unit, not much TV is available unless you go to the club house. The facilities are very clean and well kept. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is two years old after an extensive makeover. The clubhouse is incredible with rooms and activities for everyone. The pool and hot tub are clean and well kept. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great time here and enjoyed walking around downtown South Haven and the beach. They are only a short drive, 10 minutes, down the road. Will recommend this to all my friends. You will not regret staying here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is by far the best RV park that we've stayed in. Impeccably clean, super-friendly staff, and every amenity under the sun! The park is in a great location (about an hour away from Grand Rapids and about 4 miles from Lake Michigan), and I only wish that we could have stayed for longer. The clubhouse is amazing, as are the pool and hot-tub. I'd recommend a prolonged visit to this one! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park laid out very nice. Large cement pads. Good WiFi and a true resort pool with hot tub.Staff were excellent. Some sites are for sale. Paved roads. If all parks were like this trust me no one would complain!!!!!!!!!! I plan on returning. About 3 miles from town and Lake Michigan. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV Resort is new this year and is the nicest RV park in southwest Michigan. The park is a little light on grass (right now), but all the pads are cement with paved roads into and around the park. You can also own your site. The owners Jim and Beth and staff work very hard to insure everyone enjoys their stay. The Club House and pool are outstanding with bright clean showers as well restaurants laundry room. South Haven, Michigan is a great Lake Michigan port area with plenty to do with great restaurants and is a great wine area. Sunny Brook has a bright future and we have already booked several more visits this year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park: the sites are well situated. The $29 represents total cost of site plus per person for entry. The park people were friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Having chosen a site off the Internet, sight unseen, we were pretty lucky. We had site 31 which is very shady, but we did have a very hard time getting our 25' trailer in there. Would be better suited for tents, smaller trailer or pop ups. Site was level. Many sites in park are not and many do not have shade. Sites 27 & 41 were either wet or had standing water in them so beware. Sites 19-35 all had a lot of standing water behind them. Took a hike passed the volleyball courts (by day use area) on the trail to the beach and down. Would be way to much work with children but we enjoyed it. Dogs not allowed on beach, we carried our small one once down there. Camps hosts were wonderful and friendly and kept the campsites spotless. Had a real nice DNR young man stop by and show us a spider and told us of a night hike he was leading that night. We really enjoyed our stay here, but depending on where you are, it could be iffy. There were a lot of groups that camped together, but nights quieted down. We look forward to going back and walked around and chose the only sites we would consider. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nicely separated sites, although sites are on sand, lucky to get a patch of grass. No real playground, only a jungle gym. Beach is too far a walk across 2 hot parking lots. Over priced when you add in the daily park fee. Beach is small and water was full of green slime. No park programs offered during our stay, only on weekends in the middle of summer! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We reserved a grassy, level site 42 x 45 feet based on the reservation service description. Upon arrival we asked if we would have a problem with a rig our size. We were assured that big rigs use the park all the time with no problems. Our site was a patch of earth with sparse grass and what appeared to be a gravel pad. We backed in and were so unlevel our bubble was clear at the end of the level. Jockeying a little forward and a little backward failed to budge the bubble. My husband decided to just pull out and go back to the front gate. In no time we were hubcap deep in sand. The "gravel pad" was a thin layer of pea gravel over sand. To avoid making a bad situation worse, we talked to the Camp Host who sent a Dept. of Natural Resources guy to help us. He brought a shovel and boards. His comment was that we weren't in bad and he would have us out in no time. He layed two boards end to end after shoveling a bit. When my husband pulled forward as instructed the last board shot backward and bent the front bottom cap portion of our 5th wheel all to heck. They said they had no other sites except one that was "worse" than the one we were on so we requested a refund and insurance information. They refunded $29 for the entrance fee required and all but $8 of our prepaid reservation. They said that was a non-refundable fee. The DNR guy did help my husband secure the front cap of the RV so we could proceed to a commercial campground. The gentleman who led us to our site there said he had the same thing happen at the park and had to pay $150 to a wrecker to get him out. He said it happens all the time. My advice is don't go there unless you have a pop-up or tent. Compared to the Ohio State Park we had just left, this place was a dump. No more Michigan State Parks for us.l We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We made reservations on line, having never been there before we weren't sure about the different loops. When we arrived, our site was very unlevel. After struggling to get level, we went back to the office. The young lady at the desk was very helpful and we were given a different site to move to. It's about half mile walk to the beach on Lake Michigan (or you can drive) We were one of a few motorhomes, lots of tents and popups, but we had plenty of room. We camped here in a Motorhome.
