Cade Lake County Park & Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Cade Lake County Park sits just outside Sturgis in southwest Michigan, where a small county-managed lake anchors a full-service campground running from May through October. Sites are large and well-maintained, with most offering direct sightlines toward the water. The campground gates close after office hours, though a camp host remains on-site to assist late arrivals.

Full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, are available for RVs, with tent sites running $30 per night and electric sites at $40. Reviewers consistently note how clean and spacious the sites are. Josh N. describes "clean and large campsites, with full hook up for campers and RVs," and multiple return visits suggest the experience holds up across seasons. A dump station is on-site, showers are available, and campfires are permitted throughout the campground.

Beyond the basic amenities, the park includes walking and biking trails, a disc golf course, and lake access for fishing and kayaking. The campground draws families and is likely to fill on summer weekends, so reservations are worth booking in advance. Pets are allowed. Campers exploring the area can also find campsites near Sturgis if this location is unavailable. The closest neighboring campground is Sweet Lake Mobile Home Park and Campground, roughly a mile to the east. Arriving with kayaks or a canoe adds considerably to the stay.

Hidden gem

This place is a nice cozy campground with a large frisbee golf course, a fishing and kayak lake, and a nice store. For the price, it’s a must camp!

Love this place

Clean and large campsites, with full hook up for campers and RVs. Cade Lake can be seen from most campsites which adds to the scenery. Biking or walking trails, with frisbee golf course. We have been here twice and will probably go here once every year at least
