This is a very nice park with a courteous staff, they do not allow alcohol and are very adamant about it. We had a great time and will return “when we camp with our friends that don’t like to drink” - munchkinn

Very clean, quiet campground with very nice staff. Our site was small, but accommodated our 39 ft 5th wheel with slides on both sides. Very clean, modern bathroom and shower facilities. There are 2 playgrounds for the kids along with a barn with an arcade, pool tables and summer time family activities. The beach was closed when we were there in the fall, but it looked like it was well cared for. They had a honeywagon service and picked up our trash nightly. No alcohol allowed, but no one seemed to mind. There isn't much to do in the surrounding area, but plenty to keep the kids entertained in the campground for a long weekend. - LilDarlin1972

Very nice, family oriented, no-alcohol allowed at this park. Hosts were very courteous. Recommend this park. - Scoutmaster253

We thought it would be a good idea to check this campground out before we reserved a site and I'm glad we did just that. This is a older campground which could use a lot of updating. Yes, it looks and sounds great for the younger families with smaller trailers but that's about it. The roads are dirt so when it rains it gets mucky. They were working on the campgrounds and I do admit that when we visited it was there first day after a ruff winter. Also, there was a faint smell of cow manure in the air. - trails2hike

We went here as the last camp out of the year in October. The campground closed the day we left and we will not be back each year. The park was clean, including all of the restrooms, showers, office and store. There were no rentals of canoe or boats as the season in Michigan was ending. We were greeted very well and treated fantastic by the owner and his help. The sites are varied with most all grass and quite level. You are not dictated as to the exact placement of your rig and can 'circle the wagons' of a small group on adjoining sites. If you are looking for a quiet park with great treatment then come here and enjoy the park. - dalenoel

We were in the park for the last three days of their season. Very few people in the park but we still got the best treatment with a very clean park and friendly service. Since we were late in the season it was only $20 per night. - dalenoel

Mostly seasonal campers. Not easy to find. BUT - this is a beautiful RV park. Quiet, relaxing. Very nice staff. Will stay here again. - Joyce and Gene Whitley

We stayed in the only 2 sites that were full hookup. The rest of the full hookups are for the seasonal folks. The location was at the entrance, busy but quiet compared to the activities that was going on near the lake. The rest of the sites seem to be ok, but looked too close for our liking, especially if you have a noisy neighbor. The facility was acceptable and the seasonal units were kept in good shape. The Wi-Fi was a definitely hit and miss kind of event, but the staff told you that when you checked in. It was a nice 4 days rest. We tried this place because of it's short distance to get here. Likely go back for weekend getaway. - mgfiest

This is a really nice park, quiet, lovely setting. Unfortunately the areas are all grassy and extremely uneven which made it difficult to level. Our tires were two feet off the ground in order to level. - Energizer

As mentioned on many other reviews, this is a huge park, over 500 sites and most are park models/permanent/seasonal campers. Our site was a very nice concrete pad with 50amp and FHU. Everything worked well and getting satellite coverage was good. One thing I didn't see on any other review is that a train goes right through the campground, literally through it! Luckily, it didn't run during the night, but it did start at 5:30 a.m. We were only there 2 nights and the one day we were there, we were gone most of the day, but I did hear it go through at least 3 times. The park is very nicely landscaped and the fulltime resident take pride in their sites. Everyone was friendly and we would stay here again if in the area. - jacknpeg

Used this park to stay in when we visited friends who stay in a seasonal park up the road. Site was back in grass with 50 amp service, good water pressure and sewer connection. The park is large with about 95% seasonal/summer folks. They keep a number of transient-nightly-weekly sites on the golf course side with some concrete, some grass sites with full hook-ups. Office staff friendly and we met one of the owners who was very friendly and accommodating when we wanted to switch sites. Would return when in this area visiting our friends. - xarmoreddriver

We chose this campground as a one night stopover on the trip to get to the other side of Michigan. There were a lot of mobile homes as well as campers that were full time. Even so it was a very nice looking campground and well maintained. It was also very large with a couple of lakes and a 9 hole golf course.
Our site was grass but very level. There was no cable but the OTA channels were plenty for 1 night. No wifi though.
We would stay again for a longer visit. - John Borajkiewicz

We loved this campground. It's small and cozy, but the sites are large. Our site #21 was perfect. Located right on the beach (close enough to have great access, yet far enough not to be annoyed by the activity) it was perfect for a family. The restrooms were not very clean and the showers could use a little more upkeep, but other than that we have found another one of our favorite campgrounds here! - drmcleod

This State Park is awesome. The campground needs some maturing, but the trails are great as is the fishing and swimming. But please be aware that although the lake at the campground is still okay, Big Seven Lake had it's dam break and is partly drained. This was the best lake for swimming although it is quite a hike from the campground. Hopefully they will get funding from the state to repair this situation. - lowell151

This is a nice campground. If they get their act together the registration would be much better. No one at the gate, no one at the campground,no instructions so we called the 800# and they told us just to take one of the empty spots and someone would be there soon. - Donna P

Great park! We did the membership tour and our camping was free for three nights. Lots of activities for the family. This is a large park and security seemed pretty good. Very friendly and helpful staff. Sites were large and shady. Using sewer cost extra and though Wi-Fi has a strong signal through out the park, you have to pay extra to use it. We stayed here 3 nights. - TheMartins

The sites aren't level, soft (bring some wood)and flood in the rain. Lots of little pine trees, SAP! Had to patch my roof after catching tree branches. The lake is down. Hard to launch my boat. Lots of weeds. The buildings are old. Extra charges for kids activities, waterpark, Wi-Fi and there is a minimum charge on credit cards so bring cash. After a disappointing experience at the Bellringer I just eat in town. Walmart and other stores in town. - travelnman

Nice Park, well laid out and very well managed. Restrooms and showers were clean. A lot of things for us and the kids to do. We will definitely return. - Nipit

Primarily a mobile home park. Fairly level, a little tight backing in. Wonderful bath house. Huge video and book libraries, as well as an indoor pool, beach, mini golf, tennis, etc. Very quiet. Nice, helpful staff. Gated and guarded. The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 was because wifi was only available at the lodge, but AT&T and Verizon signals were strong. - Keeping up with the Joneses

Lots of snow birds here with park models. Rental spots are scattered among park models. Roads are paved and sites are concrete with grass. Lots of amenities to include indoor pool, miniature golf and because of snow birds they have lots of nightly events. Thought price was a little high but we had no discounts and stayed only two nights so did not make use of weekly or monthly rates. We would stay here again. Bathrooms were fully tiled and easy to get to. - Mark from Missouri

Was a nice park. Pool was warm and refreshing. Site was nice sized (the one we had was). Wash rooms were very clean. Free Putt Putt was a plus. Down falls were, Sea Weed by raft in water (son was afraid to go out to it), tons a golf carts and lot of bugs. Trees behind our site had berries on them, and now our camper is covered in berry juice. Other then that it is a nice park, not a campground. No a camping feel at all. - Lringe

Dilapidated location. Office was not marked and was the first of many unattractive buildings. - tabber386

This is an older park. The restroom facilities were in great need of updating and repair. They were not very clean either. The rest of the park, however was clean. The owners were very nice and helpful. - ScrapperJo

This park is a big mobile home park with maybe 60 campsites around the small lake. It is very old and needs repair and upgrades in order to be called a compground. The electric is very bad and not enough current to run an air conditioner, in fact the electricity would shut down in our rig often due to low voltage. The people that run the campground are wonderful, friendly and warm family oriented willing to help in anyway they can. The water is very hard with lots of iron in it and all the hookups are very poorly located on the site, making connections to the rig hard and in some cases even have to be run under the rig. This could be a great campground, however it is not now and we can not recommend it. - racomarley

Right from the time we arrived early Friday morning I knew this was going to be a bad experience. We arrived early Friday morning due to an early appointment we had in Warren Michigan , we arrived around 10am hoping to park our RV so we could continue on our day only to be told, no, by the young lady that was working at the time and that they would charge us an additional night's stay , and I noticed the campground was pretty much empty at that time. We turned around and headed back to Auburn hills to burn off 5 hrs. till their 3pm check in time with our 11000lb 5th wheel in tow. We arrived back at the camp site at 3pm to check in for the KOA customer appreciation weekend, stay Friday get Saturday stay for free that I booked on line and had a paid receipt only to be told by the lady behind the desk that they were not offering that this weekend for some made up reason of hers, scam? So I and a few others that were checking in paid the extra for Saturday. Not too happy with what was going on. Later that evening a young male employee by the name of %$## knocked on the door apologizing with what went on and offered either a refund of one night or two nights for free for next summer, I accepted the refund which he dropped off the following afternoon. I found the staff overall very rude and not friendly at all except for Jake. The camp ground could be a very nice one if kept groomed and tree stumps removed that are all over the place. Pull through sites are too close together and uneven, having the next site fire pit about 5ft from our trailer. Fire wood is $6 for 5 pieces a bit of a rip. NO recycling that we could find and nowhere to dump our garbage (Dumpster), 3 Dump stations but the only one that was workable was the one in the middle the other two were about a 10-12 inches above the road. - Terry-Brown62

We have been to this park three times in as many years. This year, it is under new management, but other than the sign stating "New Management", it doesn't appear as if anything has changed really. The park has a ton of potential. They have a lot of kids activities, some included with your stay, some not. When we tried to upgrade the activities package for our kids, we couldn't get two employees to give us the same price. We were told $10 per kid when we checked in (we were tired from traveling and just wanted to get camp ready), then it became $20 per kid the next morning when we went up there to purchase it. We ended up not upgrading. The pool was closed the first day, but the employees ran a squirt gun wagon ride anytime a kid asked for it, so that was nice. Firewood was dry and delivered to your site. Sites were very unlevel, even for a premium site. Some sites were oddly placed, trees, fire pits, etc. Manager drove around continuously checking in and waving. A lot of young people in the office, never saw anyone over 25 that was a worker. This park needs some TLC and I think if the new management puts the work and money in, it could be a really nice park. We would return here, but it isn't a destination campground. Don't have high expectations of a KOA park, it is a campground that is dated and needs work. - bloomis

Looks like this park is under new management. The wifi and cable TV were not very good. It appears that there a few full time residents in the park. There was a bit of noise from the Interstate but we've heard much worse. There's a gas station across the highway from the park with a well equipped store. - 69636
