Kibby Creek Campground sits on a former pear orchard between Ludington and Pentwater, with mature fruit trees scattered throughout the 200-plus sites. The family-owned operation has expanded significantly in recent years, doubling its capacity with new sections alongside the established seasonal areas. Sites range from primitive tent spots to full hookup RV sites, with the property divided into distinct zones that each maintain their own pool and amenities.
The orchard setting creates grass-covered sites rather than the dirt common at many Michigan campgrounds. Site spacing varies across the property, with some areas offering more elbow room than others. Rachel G. found site 21 "backed up to the woods but was open on front and sides," while other campers note the seasonal section tends to be more densely packed. The fruit trees provide natural shade and, when timed right, fresh pears for picking.
Two pools serve different sections of the campground, with a third planned for the expansion area. The camp store functions as the social hub, offering pizza, ice cream, and camping essentials, plus a delivery service through the campground's mobile app. Activities include mini golf, basketball courts, volleyball, a private fishing pond, and weekend programming during peak season. Amanda L. appreciated the variety, noting "There are plenty of activities for adults & children as well."
The campground operates from mid-April through mid-October, with reservations available for both daily and seasonal sites. Full hookups accommodate larger RVs, while primitive options serve tent campers. Two bathhouse facilities provide modern restrooms and showers that consistently earn praise for cleanliness. The property's location offers easy access to Lake Michigan beaches and downtown attractions in both directions.
For a different lakeside experience, Whispering Surf Camping Resort provides direct beach access just minutes away.
