Kalkaska RV Park & Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hiking trails run through the property, and the campground's wooded setting in Kalkaska, Michigan gives anglers and outdoor enthusiasts a reasonable base for exploring the surrounding northern Michigan region. Open from April through October, this privately operated RV park and campground has 15 full hookup sites, though several are held by long-term tenants, which means availability can be tight, particularly during summer weekends.

Sites are gravel, mostly level, and pull-through friendly, though at least one reviewer noted the need for leveling blocks and extension cords due to hookup placement. Roads through the park run narrow. The campground tends to attract families, and multiple reviewers mention the presence of children and a heated pool on site. Reviewers consistently flag cleanliness as a strong point, with Hope C. noting the bathrooms, showers, and laundry are "clean and nice." A pump-out service runs twice weekly for $10 per visit, and WiFi is available through a third-party provider at $2 per day.

Cell service is noted by at least one reviewer, and the wooded location provides some separation from busier corridors. Staff have been described across multiple reviews as helpful and willing to assist with site logistics. Reservations are available and recommended given limited full hookup inventory. Pets are allowed. Campers wanting a more rustic or dispersed experience might consider Robinson Campground or Log Lake Campground as alternatives in the area, or browse campgrounds near Kalkaska for a broader look at what's available.

Many campers appreciated the level gravel sites, clean facilities, and friendly helpful hosts. Some noted dusty entrance conditions, but most found the campground well-maintained and family-friendly with good amenities.

Beautiful Campground 😃

Nice beautiful campground situated in a nice woods setting. Sprayed for bugs so the bugs were not much of a nuisance. The camp sites are a nice firm gravel and pretty level. We didn’t even have to use leveling blocks. Facilities were very very clean and well kept. The owners are awesome and very friendly and super willing to help if you need assistance. We are already booked up for next year. 😃😀

Nice Campground

We camped in a 40’ motor coach for a week. Site is gravel and dirt. It is a pull through site that required us to do quite a bit of leveling. The hookups are rather far away so we needed extensions. Our site required us to pull through in such a way that the hookups were on the opposite side of our coach. They only have 15 full hookup sites and none were available for our time frame. They have several long term tenants. Roads are narrow but most sites are ample. They have a pump out service twice a week for $10 each time. Bathrooms, showers and laundry available and are clean and nice. Staff is kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Pool is heated. Wifi is through a third party and very inexpensive at $2 a day. Very family friendly with lots of children. Campground is clean and well maintained.

Nice wooded campground

1/2 hr outside Traverse City. Nice away from the busy areas.
The campground needs some attention which will be addressed by the new owners. Very dusty, loose sand uneven entrance. We enjoyed the hiking provided onsite. Nice pool. We liked the location.
Did not use bath house. We had f/h.
Not many of those available.
