This campground is indeed "compact", but we had one of the larger sites along the "back fence", and it was quite roomy. Campground is in a very nice residential area. As one of the other posts here mentioned, this was indeed one of the cleanest, most nicely-kept campgrounds we've ever stayed at. Pool is unusually large, and the hot tub is unusually HOT (LOL), and THEY ACTUALLY ENFORCE THE NO-CHILDREN IN THE HOT TUB AFTER 9PM! Oh, that was nice. Nice, strong WI-FI signal with no silly sign-in maneuvers required. This campground is famously (notoriously?) anti-alcohol, so one needs to very, very discrete. We were there with close friends who had their camper next door, and when we went visiting at night, we had to covertly smuggle our refreshments over there - it was quite cloak and dagger LOL. Unfortunately, we had someone rifle through our outside cooler one night (got a glimpse of them leaving, looked like a couple teens going back to the seasonal area) and IF we had beer, they would have gotten it! Campground is very, very close to the breathtaking Holland State Park Beach, Mt Pisgah sand dune, Tunnel Park sand dune/beach, and a few shore-fishing spots. Beautiful area. In 2009, before coming into Holland, double-check with someone at the campground to find the best route in to AVOID the gawdawful Lakewood Blvd construction through which Garmin/Mapquest/Yahoo et al will route you. There's a wicked turn with a concrete wall that, if you try to make the right-hand turn through the intersection, you'll have traffic backed-up for miles!

Really expensive, especially for off-season. A LOT of permanent/seasonal sites, but the vast majority were well-maintained, nice looking, and the few "residents" we saw seemed friendly enough and even us transients were invited to the potluck dinner/breakfasts. Sites are really small, KOA-esque. We were on one of the "lakefront" sites. Grass sites, not paved, kind of unlevel, but the hookups were in good shape. No cable, but we picked up 7 or 8 broadcast channels. We were there in mid-October, so the place was very quiet. However, I could see where the lakefront sites would be an absolute circus in the summer, what with all the folks coming down to the beach, etc. All in all, "OK", but if you're in the area for the Amish-stuff and RV/MH Hall of Fame, check out the campgrounds closer to Shipshewanan - we saw some really nice looking ones. On a related note, do NOT miss the RV/MH Hall of Fame. Well worth the short drive to Elkhart and the $8 admission.

I left the first post, below, in 2003 about this campground. Stayed again in summer 2006. Just as nice as before, but they have added another MUCH more accessible/level dump station. A LOT easier to dump now. Wonderful little campground.

We were in the newer, full hook-up section of Camper Village which extends into the Lighthouse Point (camper-cabin) area. Top-notch resort-type campground, extremely clean, well-kept, and landscaped. Uniformed, polite staff on duty until after 11pm and campstore open until 1 am. They even clean the grills every day! No campfires allowed. We walked 5-10 minutes to the waterpark and theme park, but shuttle-service is constant. Not a lot of shade in this newer section. I wouldn't do it in the summer without A/C. Our site backed-up to the road, so we had a LOT of people walking through our site (what's up with that, anyway? Don't folks know you're just not supposed to do that??). Some full hook-ups are literally UNDER the wooden roller-coasters which runs until close to midnight. If we were to stay there again, I'd get one of the pull-through sites, which are in their own section, very long, closer to the pool. All sites have level concrete pads AND large faux-slate patios. Hookup water was colorless/odorless. Campground pool was large by campground standards, adjacent was a large fountain/waterworks-valve area with cascading water, pool was always life-guarded. Just past the pool area is a large pier going out into Lake Erie. We saw beautiful sunsets and huge ships just a couple hundred yards from shore coming into Sandusky Bay - awesome!! The nearby Soak City water park has waist-deep adults-only pool with a well-staffed swim-up bar. Thought I died and went to Heaven.

Park is well-maintained. If you are a single mother with 6 uncontrollable kids, this is the place for you!!!! It's like camping in a daycare center! We observed a lot seasonals walking through transient campsites. We didn't have that problem because we were in the "new" area - grass sites that back up to the interstate!!! Oy vey - talk about highway noise. There must be some type of sign or something out on the highway that advertises the campground, because every 5 minutes or so a truck would go by laying on the horn for 10 - 15 seconds as they went by! Even though it was like camping in a rest stop (a rest stop with a daycare, that is), these sites were HUGE!!! Probably 100 feet distance between the cg road and the campsite - we had tons of room to set up badminton AND croquet, and played bocce ball without venturing into neighbors' sites. The saving grace here is that there is a LOT to do for kids, including well-planned activities that even us parents participated in ("ceramics", other arts/crafts). Once was enough for us, though. We now stay at other cg's in the area when we travel up there.

These owners did anything/everything to make sure we were taken care of. It wouldn't have surprised me if they would have come over and helped us set up our hybrid! They and their staff were always buzzing around the campground checking on things, but not bothersome. Activities for the kids, pool was spotless. DJ on Sat night - varied dance music, kind of like a wedding reception, stopped promptly at 10:30pm. LONG pull-through sites. A lot of overnight big/fancy rigs with toads. Back-in sites are near well-maintained seasonals, but not too close. All sites are fairly large by private campground standards. Our first assigned-site was a back-in near the end of the road where it curved. Would've been OK, but we would've been facing the backs of three seasonals (sewer hookups, et al). Owners changed us to a pull-through with minimal fuss. However, I'd recommend requesting a pull-through away from the highway when making reservations. The only problem we had was the highway noise, since we were at pull-through site #1, the closest to the highway. We were in our hybrid, so it was very noticable at night. Not so bad in my brother-in-law's full hardside TT.

Very nice campground. We've camped here twice. Our experiences are consistent with the other high-rating reviews on this website. The owners/operators/employees are just the salt of the earth - wonderful folks. And for some reason, the seasonals here are NOT the typical snooty, snotty grumps - even they are very friendly and helpful. We've had the waterfront sites. In the spring, there are these odd trees that drop strange, tough inch-long leaf-casings when the trees are leafing-out. They contain sticky sap and stick to everything. Our poor dogs had them embedded on their paw pads and in the fur on their bellies. Also, we tracked the casings into the camper, got them stuck in the carpet and the sap stained the vinyl flooring. Had to use mineral spirits to clean the floor and the dogs' tummies. This is lake country - would be impossible to spray for mosquitos LOL! Absolutely beautiful setting, but yeah, the mosquitos and mayflies can get thick. Just bring the deet, you'll be fine. The only criticism of the campground I could possibly come up with is that the water pressure is low (at least it is down on the waterfront sites) and takes a while to backflush the tanks when leaving. Also, there are (seasonal?) boat tie-ups right along the transient waterfront sites, so the waterfront sites are actually "boat-front" sites in-season and it's difficult, if not impossible to fish from the shore at your campsite. But the boat owners have been nice and try to avoid being conspicuous (trying to walk along the "lot lines" instead of directly through transient campsites). We will definitely stay here again.
