We had a large family camp weekend at Stony Haven. We had 5 sites (21-25) pack to capacity with 32 people. They owners allowed use to squeeze in a few extra bodies more than their policies specify.
They offer so much at the campground!! We rented bikes and tubes, but they also rent canoes & kayaks (including launch & pickup), pedal cars, yard games and wifi hotspots. They have a nice playground with swings, a sandbox, slide and climbers. Adjacent to the playground is a large pavilion with charcoal grills and a volleyball quart.
The tent sites were very nice. Well maintained, each with their own fire ring, a picnic table, water spickets and electric. They also have full hookup sites for RVs, rustic sites and mini cabins.
There is a walking path around the back of the campground. It cuts through the woods and past a pond. My kids (ages 1.5, 3, 5,& 6) spent hours at the pond catching frogs.
The bathrooms were clean and checked several times a day. There were public bathrooms with a few stalls and a shower, but there were also 2 private bathrooms with showers, one of which was handicap/family. There were 2 additional private shower rooms. They also have a laundry facility ON SITE!!!! This came in very handy when I opened up my canvas hammock and found mold.
There is access to Stony Lake across the street and that connects to Lake Michigan. There was an awesome county beach 5 min down the road on Lake Michigan. It was right where the big lake meets the outlet for Stony Lake, Benona County Park. When they weren't at the pond my kids were playing in the sand and swimming at the beach. I love little outlets like this because they are usually shallower and warmer than the big lake and are great for my littles.
They offer a short worship service on Sunday mornings for all that wish to participate.
They owners were so sweet and easy going. We called several times to adjust our reservation right up to the day before and they gracefully tolerated our shuffling and were able to accommodate us. They even allowed us to leave our packed trailer at the site while we spent the afternoon at the beach after checkout. We came back to the site ate, used the bathroom, hooked up the trailer and took off for home.
