Gateway Park Campground runs from April 15 to October 15 and accepts RVs up to 75 feet, with cement slab sites offering full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. Most sites have limited shade, though some lots do get tree cover. A lake sits directly across the road, with boat and golf cart rentals available on-site. The campground also has a pool, playground, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe pits, and a small store. Staff are consistently noted as friendly and helpful. Campers wanting a different setup can check Sugar Bush Park nearby, or browse campgrounds near Hillsdale for additional options in the area.

Gateway Park Campground is on South Sand Lake in Hillsdale MIThe campground has had many improvements & renovations over the years and the most recent being in 2013 at which time we upgraded our primitive camping area to 22 full hook up seasonal sites and added two deluxe cabins. We added 24 channels of TV to all the campsite and added Wi-Fi to the park. We went from having all types of camping to becoming mainly a full hook up RV campground. All of our nightly or Transient sites and newest seasonal sites have cement pads and cement patios and most sites offer up to 50amp service (older seasonal sites vary if they have cement slabs or 50 amp). We do a lot of planned activities as do many campgrounds but one thing that makes us unique is we are all inclusive. We do not charge for our activities other than an occasional donation basket to help cover the cost of things like a hog for a hog roast. And we also donate all proceeds for donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital once our costs are covered.
