Gorgous 

We have been going to Camp Dearborn for five years now, and our friend's family has been going for nearly sixty! They have activities for both children and adults, two beautiful beaches, a pool, tennis courts, and now a zip line. Options for camping range from tent sites to luxury cabins. We usually get a platform tent, which sleeps six people and comes with a kitchen cabana.

Family friendly and fun! 

Great camping

I had fond memories of this place as I would come here as a child.  Lots of lakes, beaches, play structures, and more open field space than you can imagine. Most of the campground is run down and in need of improvements. The tennis courts &amp; basketball courts are nearly unusable. The pads are so weathered the lines are gone and vegetation has started growing in all the cracks. Tent camping is difficult as all the sites have large concrete pads in the middle of the site. So a tent has to be pitched next to the road or right on the line of your neighbors site. If you are in a RV this isn’t a problem.  For tents, site 191 is the best. On top of a hill which overlooks the campground and lake. It’s an end site so you can spread out a bit into the adjacent field.  The bath houses restrooms are in need of renovations or at least a severe cleaning. Very smelly. Showers are nearly pointless, warm water at best. For tent campers this campground is best for day use in my opinion.  While the Village of Milford is a bike ride away and has lots to do, there are better places to spend a weekend.

Lots of campground space.  Too much as they can’t maintain it all

I visited this campground with extended family - and there was a lot of us.  This campground is very clean, well-manicured and is vast.  I didn't have time to explore everything.  There is a TON of things to do: swimming, zip-lining, mini-golf, fishing, paddle boats, basketball - I'm sure I'm missing something.  It's impossible to be bored.

  

That being said, it was not my favorite camping experience.  It was extremely crowded and people were very rowdy late into the night and obviously intoxicated.  There was a karaoke machine set up which is a fun group activity but it also took away from the nature experience.  I like to be still and listen to the sounds of nature, which was impossible.  

  

Even going for a walk, cars were driving by on the paved roads of the park, people were everywhere.  This is a campground that takes away all the things I love about camping: to unplug, seclusion, enjoying the beauty of nature without distractions.  I wouldn't recommend this campground if you enjoy a more rustic experience while camping.

Not bad, just not for me.

We’ve been in their tent/cabins and our own RV.  Great park, clean, nice swimming lakes, the teens love the canteen.  Tough to get in but we love it. 

One of our Favorites

Camp Dearborn has a lot for the kids, outdoor fun, night dance parties, cement for bike rides or rollerblading. 

Our family had been coming here for years for Girl Scout camps and individual camping experiences 

The park is not kept up as well as it could be and it is always packed 

Fun! Fun! Fun! 

The sites were very nice, and so were the bathrooms.
Lights is fun activities for the kids for halloween.
Lots of rules to follow, but the place has a nice atmosphere overall.
Very large campgrounds... Quite the walk to the showers if you're staying up on the hill.

Well maintained campgrounds!

My family have seven had a great time we love this campsite

Family fun

Booked a two week stay at Pontiac Lake Rec. area in Whitelak, MI. Huge sites not stacked on top of one another. They have electric hookups, but only 30 amp. No water or sewage at the camp site but available within the park. 
Grounds are kept very clean and it has been a rather quiet stay even in the weekends when every spot is taken. 
The only real downside is that Michigan doesn’t offer any type of Military Discounts. 
Will be staying here again as it’s just down the road from family. 

Pontiac Lake Rec RV Site

GREAT biking trails you can catch on premise and bike over to Kensington and to the charming town of Milford

HUGH MUNICIPAL CAMPGROUND

Huge park with lots of room to roam. Beaches. Lots of activities.

Hookup RV sites are a bit close together. The site sewer hookup can be oddly placed. I had to go to another site to reach the plumbing.

They have a ton of soft sided cabins for people without RVs.

Gigantic Park

Wish I had seen a post regarding the mattresses before we went this past weekend. I would have canceled My daughter, her husband and two kids 4 and 2 arrived to the resort cabin after a drive from Ohio to find they would be sleeping on plywood. A dirty cabin with a concrete floor and nothing to sleep on. Needless to say they went to a hotel. When talking to the staff they played a great game of pass the buck and we have still not received a call from Scott which was supposedly who the buck stopped with.  They were rude and insinuated we were lying about the cleanliness but there was no way to lie about nothing to sleep on. An employee showed us where they had marked it on a brochure but there was no mention about the mattresses being removed on the paperwork I signed. I didn’t realize it was necessary to look at every page of the website. They took the time to say no pets on the contract. You’d think they’d let you know there was no place to sleep. I will be posting a poor review everywhere I can find a place to put it and disputing the charges for the misrepresented unused cabin on my credit card.
