Nice place

Did four nights and would have extended if the site was not taken.

Out in the country, but close enough that getting to Kzoo and Portage is a breeze.

Paying for a pass gets you in other nice county parks. The Kzoo city parks are nice and free, but sometimes you run into folks who don’t follow the rules. Loud music, smoking weed etc. You have to pay for Portage City parks unless you live in Portage but they are really nice.

Lots of neat free and inexpensive things for kids and families nearby. Check out Kzookids.com to see what’s available if you want to.

A nice disk golf course, lots of fishing. Our fire pit needs some fix in’ but not at all a problem.

We had the spot next to the hosts. Good people, all the campers were nice, except for my son we drove too fast and played music too loud.

Site29, right next to the hosts. You can find a map on the website

Nice little county park!

29 campsites pretty close together with old growth trees interspersed around the campground. Fishing pier and boating, playground area, and beach. No longer has primitive camping. Some hiking trails...short. is next to a busy road, so traffic all night. Staff was great! Showers and bathrooms cleaned multiple times a day. Pet friendly. Would stay here again!

Great Getaway

Small county park. Lots of lake for small boating, kayaking. Fishing pier to fish off. Playground for the kids. Swimming beach with sand. Nice country setting yet close enough to towns if you need anything.
