Waterloo Portage Lake Modern — Waterloo Recreation Area

Waterloo Portage Lake Modern Campground, nestled near Grass Lake, MI, is a solid spot for year-round camping. This place has a bit of everything, from tent sites to RV hookups, and even cabins if you’re looking for a bit more comfort. The campground is part of the larger Waterloo Recreation Area, which means you’ve got plenty of nature to explore right at your doorstep.

One of the standout features here is the lake. Portage Lake is just a short walk down the hill from the campground, and it’s got a nice beach area where you can kick back and relax. Some folks have mentioned that the lake can get a bit mucky, but it’s still a great spot for a swim or a paddle. If you’re into fishing, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to cast a line.

The campground itself is pretty well-maintained. You’ll find clean bathrooms and showers scattered around, and most of the sites come with electric hookups. There’s also a sanitary dump station for RVs. If you’re planning to cook up some s’mores, you’ll be happy to know that fires are allowed, and you can buy firewood on-site.

Pets are welcome here, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Just make sure to keep them on a leash, as there have been some issues with unleashed dogs in the past.

For those who enjoy a bit of activity, there’s a disc golf course nearby, and the campground itself has a playground that’s a hit with the kids. Whether you’re here for a quiet getaway or a family adventure, Waterloo Portage Lake Modern Campground has got you covered.
