Friendly (with a Broken Toilet)
This was our first time camping in our 1991 Coachman Catalina RV with our two small dogs. We had site 50, which was close to a trail and not far from the bathrooms. The campers around us were very friendly. Our dogs were attempting to get used to not barking when they saw other dogs, but everyone was very understanding that it was our/their first time. The site was quiet and offers a few mini golf holes, gaga ball, some photo ops, and a pier. One of the toilets in the women’s restroom wasn’t refilling with water, so every time I went in there, I would fix it. The flusher handle was clearly broken, too. Otherwise, the bathroom accommodations were fine.

Relaxing September Evening at Chain O' Lakes State Park
I stayed one evening last Wednesday here, a first time for me. Just tent camping / sleeping in the car. There were other campers around enjoying the pleasant evening, mainly in RVs. Everyone was very quiet and respectful. The shower buildings are old fashioned with a common area to place clothes and a towel, and only a shower curtain for each individual shower. However, I was the only one showering at the time anyway. The shower area was state park clean, I guess. Before leaving, I viewed the one room schoolhouse on the grounds, just from the windows as it wasn't open at the time. Quaint and old school. Overall, I recommend camping at the park if you can live with the shower building or have an RV for added convenience.

In the trees
We loved our stay here. Trees aplenty, ponds are nice and the little river is right there.

Old, not well maintained
We were here for a music festival. Facilities are dated and in need of upkeep. Showers were disgusting. Staff was friendly.

Simple stop
We used Pokagon State Park as a two-night stopover on our way home from Northern Michigan, and overall, it was a good option for a short stay.
We stayed in Site 109, which was tucked away and felt fairly isolated from the rest of the campground. In early spring or late fall, I imagine the site would have a nice view of the lake, but in August the tree cover was too thick to see much of it.
The gravel pad was reasonably level, but we needed a couple inches of leveling blocks to get the RV sitting flat. There wasn’t really much of a grassy area at the site for the dogs, but we were able to walk them easily just down the road.
We brought our bicycles, which was a great way to explore the park. We rode around to the nature center, equestrian facility, and beach, and enjoyed being able to see more of the park without having to drive everywhere.
One thing that surprised us was the single dump station for the entire campground. Since none of the sites have full hookups, I would imagine the line could get ridiculously long after a busy weekend.
Overall, we’d stay here again, but probably only as a one- or two-night layover rather than a longer destination stay. Site 109 worked well for us because of its privacy and quiet location.

Pokagon State Park Campground
Lots to Do
A very large campground with lots to do. Spacious site. Charges a vehicle fee along with campground fee. Sites in loop 1 are gravel and mostly not level. Lots of noise from motor boats on the lake during the day.

Stay away from loop 6
I love this state park. My kids wanted to Join us a week or to our. Site 507 and 509 were available. Do not stay there. The sewer smell was so bad we did not want to leave our trailer. If that was our first trip we would never returned

Decent Campground - Great for Rallys
We have camped every summer here for years for an annual rally that is hosted here
It’s great that we have the air conditioned rally room that our group rents for all our events and space to spend with group if it’s rainy or hot
There is a differnt experience in park depending on where you stay - if your in full sun open area in summer it’s miserable but if your in the wooded area it’s much nicer
The bathrooms are not the best - they are outdated but have hot water and work great - I prefer the bathhouse by the wooded area over the one in the big building - showers are nicer
The lots are clean and hook ups all work great
Pool is showing it’s age but still clean and kids love to swim in it

What campers like
Private waterside cabin locations: At Crooked Creek, campers appreciate the combination of cabin amenities with water access. "We reserved a spot roughly a month in advance and really enjoyed our spot. Had partial shade and picnic table at our site," notes a recent visitor who valued the balanced setting.
Extensive trail systems: Many cabin guests enjoy the hiking opportunities at Chain O'Lakes State Park. "The facility is clean and very safe," reports one camper who particularly enjoyed the multiple trail options. The park maintains several miles of trails connecting the various lakes.
Family-friendly amenities: Twin Mills Camping Resort receives positive feedback for its recreational facilities. "Really fun for families, nice pool and bathrooms, putt putt, bring your bikes," advises a camper. The resort offers structured activities during summer weekends and holidays.
What you should know
Bathroom facilities vary significantly: At some locations, shared facilities may lack privacy. "We were in the tent portion and it was very loud, the pit toilets did not have doors, and there were some mosquitoes," reports one Chain O'Lakes camper. Higher-end cabin options typically include private facilities.
Reservation requirements: Bixler Lake Park & Campground maintains strict reservation policies. "For a city campground it's very nice and friendly atmosphere and very quiet place to relax and enjoy a long weekend," notes a visitor.

Tons of things to do (playgrounds, lake, beach, hiking, horseback and pony rides etc)."
Noise level differences: Sites near recreation areas tend to be noisier. "The beach is often overcrowded with local partiers, drinking and smoking, and leaving trash everywhere. After peak hours these people clear out and usually aren't actually camping there," observed one Chain O'Lakes visitor who recommended evening swims for a quieter experience.
Tips from RVers
Site selection criteria: At Angola/Hogback Lake KOA Holiday, experienced RVers recommend specific cabin types. "This place was fantastic.
