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.
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.
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.
