We stayed at this campground while at a bowling tournament. Site we were given was in the woods and had not grass, gravel nor pad. Rained everyday we were there. As with all KOAs there was a charge for everything but the playground. There was a large field for walking the dog, however, not everyone picked up after their pet. The staff was friendly. If you have to be in the area it's a good base camp. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Restrooms were outdated. They have lots of activities for a fee; for example mini-golf, and boat rentals. When we stayed there it rained, and the site given was very, very muddy. There was no gravel or grass to help prevent or cut down on mud. Most KOA's that we have stayed at had some planned activities, and the only thing they had was a wagon ride, but it was canceled due to rain . We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good location if you want to see both Detroit and Ann Arbor. The campground is dusty and needs a little more care. The people were friendly. Two great features: one, they are on their own lake and have a well maintained path all the way around which we walked and jogged many times and two, a great field out front where our dog got to play ball. Most of the sites are in the woods near the lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We returned to this campground for Memorial Day weekend. It was at capacity, as expected, but not so crowded that it was a problem. There were a few planned daily activities, a small beach, playground, banana bikes and boat rentals. There are sites here to suit everyone's tastes...wide open grassy sites for good satellite reception, lake front for fishing, and ones back in the woods too for that up north feel. Pros- they recently sprayed for mosquitos and we had no problems with them all weekend, they applied dust control chemicals to the dirt roads which was nice, and the older office staff was very friendly. Cons- the bathrooms STILL need attention. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the bathrooms don't look like they've been touched since then. There is only one bath/shower house and it is near the beach and therefor seems to stay dirty all of the time. The mini golf is also in pretty sad shape. It's really just some plywood boxes and outdoor carpet. A few other points that don't reflect on the campground itself but did take away from our stay. There was A LOT of dog mess in the pet walk area. For some reason people at this campground don't do such a good job of cleaning up after their pets. There are two big dogs that barked all night long on the property behind the campground near the entrance. And there were a lot of loud, drunk people wandering around Sat. and Sun. nights well after quiet hour. It isn't my favorite campground, but because of the location I find myself coming back every couple of years to visit with nearby friends and family. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park has a large lake with a walking trail around it. The sites in the front of the park are grassy and open and the sites in the back are heavily treed. The showers and restrooms inside the building are cleaner than the main showers in the front of the building. Office staff is friendly and helpful. We stay at this campground several times a year as it is close to our house and always have a good time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice enough place. This was the first place I camped in my motorhome. Everyone was out bike-riding and such. The staff was helpful. There was a decent lake that I did not realize was attached to the campground. It really is not seen from the roadway. There are restaurants, supermarkets, and a Walmart within a few miles of the campground. I would camp again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The most disgusting showers I've ever seen. Thick mildew on the shower curtain. Bathrooms also pretty shabby. Very convenient to Ann Arbor, so we'd probably stay again, only because it's close. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place exists only because it is the closest thing to Detroit. Had to argue repeatedly with counter person to get a grassy sunny spot instead of being put in the muddy woods. Will stop here only if I have to. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The good: convenient to activities we were here for. Full hookup sites right next to the lake. Great wildlife. Owners very responsive, friendly, helpful. Took care of an issue with a tent (not ours) behind our rig immediately. Lots of very shaded sites. The bad: very dry and roads are extremely dusty (not paved) with lots of holes (could use a good layer of stone). Very busy campground--lots of coming/going. Overall: We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a typical KOA. The campground is located on a lake with swimming and fishing areas. Lots of activities for kids. The roads and sites are all gravel and very dusty. Every car that passes through the campground trails a dust cloud behind it. The campground did have the roads sprayed to reduce the dust, but it was only done once during the week we were there. The large pull through sites are easy to pull in and out and are large enough to accomodate multiple slide outs. The campground is located near to I-94, so access to major tourist attractions are easy to access. Unfortunately, this is the only private campground in the Detroit area outside of state parks which limit the size of motorhomes. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This best thing about this park is its proximity to Detroit, which is only about 20-30 minutes away. The sites are level and the walk around the lake is nice. Neither the showers nor the restrooms were cleaned during the week we were there. The staff was helpful. It rained nearly every day and the campground turned to a sea of mud. Gravel is needed in a number of key places. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We've camped here the last 3 years with our local cub scout pack. The lake is wonderful with plenty of fishing to be had. The park is well maintained, but the bathrooms could use with some extra attention. We did not experience any noise issues after dark. We camped here in a Tent.
We enjoyed our spacious, pull through full hook up site. However the general facilities could use some updating. The bathrooms were old and not well cleaned and the showers were just nasty. They did have a nice playground, mini golf($2), and the kids especially liked the trail that goes all the way around the small lake. They charged us extra for our 3rd child and a late check out, 6:00pm (then they tried to rush us out at 3pm because they had someone else coming in later that night). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice campground. We stayed on a lake front site and enjoyed it very much, we could fish from our site. The site however did not have much grass, if it would have rained while we were there it probably would have been muddy. They also have a beach that is nice and a trail around the lake that is nice for a walk. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park and clean. Spacious sites with easy access. Friendly staff. Stayed here three weeks. Park is very quiet. Stayed here last year and will again next year. Only draw back is low water pressure. But you can live with it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camped here to visit friends, despite less than stellar recent reviews, and were pleasantly surprised. We had a pullthrough site in the trees with view of the lake, and full hookups; plenty of room for our trailer, including awning & slideout. Several couples work here as managers and most were very pleasant; one was a little gruff but not bad at all. They do charge extra for visitors. Nice woodsy trail around the lake, as well as minigolf, rental bikes & other amenities. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Unfortunately for us, I read the previous reviews only one day before heading for this campground. I was very concerned about my family's safety and almost backed out of the reservation. I can say that there were no issues with security for us at this campground, yet we will never be back again simply because the place was entirely disgusting!! The showers need to be knocked down and rebuilt. The bathrooms were filthy and had no soap. (Not even soap dispensers!! UGH!) Employees set up a booth selling hot dogs and such right next to the bathroom (with no soap) and I witnessed them use the facilities and go right back to serving up the grub. How gross!!! For a holiday weekend at a major franchise campground I somewhat expected some type of children's activities, and once again we were dissapointed. The only positive aspect about the place is the fact that the sites were mostly shaded amongst tall trees to really have that "camping atmosphere". That in itself was not enough to make me go back again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Hoping for a nice relaxing camping trip, this CG left us somewhat disappointed. We were assigned a spot right next to the CG's main access road. Consequently, we heard traffic drive within 10 feet of our tent till about 3AM. The posted speed limit was a joke as everyone drove as though they were on a city street rather than in a campground. The restrooms could've used more frequent cleaning. Overall, we weren't impressed and likely wouldn't stay there again in the future. We camped here in a Tent.
What a gem of a campground! My family stays there every year for the past 5 years for our annual family reunion. They have a large pavillion where we can meet and have our activities. The lake is beautiful and convenient to everyone. While staying there it rained a couple of days and most of our sheets got wet. We used the laundry facilities as well as the showers and bathrooms, (very clean and well kept). Apparently security is different. When we camped there in 2005 there was a new security guard who was much friendlier and even sat by our fire occassionally. We would highly recommend this campground for it's family type atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our family just returned from a long weekend at the Detroit Greenfield KOA. We will not be returning to this facility. The lake is beautiful and my children enjoyed swimming there. The bathrooms (not showers) were clean. The showers were tiny and dirty. The owners were less than friendly on the phone during registration and at the park. There was a great deal of noise in the surrounding neighborhood late into the night on Saturday. We were uncomfortable around some of the guests/visitors to the park. I did not feel safe there and security was nowhere to be seen. There was a report of a con artists in the park running a gambling scam and some robbery to a campsite during our stay. As were were visiting the restrooms one last time before heading home a campground representative threw a tantrum over the area we were parked in. We are saddened at the overall condition of the park and treatment we received. Our family will stick to state parks in the future unless we have a firsthand testimonial about a private park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

I just got back from a weekend at this location and will never be back. We stayed there
because of its proximity to my friends house where he was having a big pig roast on Saturday. I live about 1.5 hours away and thought it would be nice to include a camping trip in with his party. I usually don't stay at private campgrounds as the state parks here in Michigan are so nice, but for nearly double the money as a state park I thought it would have been better. Not only were the sites VERY SMALL, but there were so many trees on the site I was given that I had to pull out and back into the site 4 times before I could get situated where my slide and awning would work. I had to pay extra for my friends to stay with us (I guess this may be normal for KOA's), the fire pits were small and the neighbor had his vehicle parked so close to our pit that I was afraid to start a fire (he wasn't there to ask him to move his vehicle). And to top if off the other neighbor got some jewelry stolen on Saturday morning. It seems that any of the hillbilly folks from the surrounding trailer parks can wander in unchecked and steal all sorts of stuff from campers. Apparently the lady even sees the people but could not do anything about it. The only time there was someone at the "security gate" was to collect money from guests of campers. The county sheriff was called and asked if we saw anything, but we didn't. WOW!!, I never had an experience like this before and hope to never again. Please stay away from this KOA!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a horrible campground not very well kept. Shower stalls are very small and had black mold on the grout. Fire rings are in the ground so no air can flow to start a fire. All sites are shady and without grass. Overpriced for a campground that offers nothing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is a real gem considering how close it is to Detroit. Although some campers were
complaining about muddy sites, our pull-thru was great. The park was jam packed, but the sites are large, heavily wooded, and attractive. The gorgeous lake was only a few steps away. The facilities are great. The staff was a little testy because they had to turn people away, but they treated us well. We will definately stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Convenient campground to south Detroit suburbs and Ann Arbor. Nice lake with swimming area and paddleboat rentals. Good laundry facilities. Two distinct areas in the campground - East and west are very heavily wooded with narrow and tight turning roads. Problematic for big rigs or at least not worth the trouble for a night or two. - Central area is pretty much an open field with many full hookup pull through sites and easy roads. Level and very large sites easily handling 40' 5th and toter. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
