Lake Macatawa Campground — Holland State Park

8 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Pine trees and sandy soil define this compact campground within Holland State Park, where 211 sites accommodate both RVs and tent campers. The forested setting provides shade from mature pines, though campers should watch for exposed roots when setting up. Sites vary in size, with the eastern section offering more spacious accommodations than the tighter western sites.

Electric and water hookups serve RV campers, while a double dump station includes water fill stations with city water rather than well water. The recently renovated bathhouse features individual shower rooms separate from restroom facilities. Gerard E. notes the campground has "lots of pine trees and a fair amount of sun" despite the forested canopy.

Access to Lake Michigan comes via walking trails, positioning the campground as a base for beach activities and exploration of downtown Holland. The urban setting means road noise from nearby traffic, particularly noticeable on sites closer to main roads. Camp hosts maintain the grounds, and the facility includes amenities like fire pits, playgrounds, volleyball courts, and horseshoe pits. Reservations fill quickly during peak season, requiring advance planning for summer stays.

The compact layout and proximity to both Holland State Park Campgrounds and town amenities make this campground suitable for campers prioritizing convenience and beach access over secluded wilderness camping.

Clean and well maintained

Bigish shaded sites around site 98. Near relatively new bathhouse. 98 is near the road but it’s not too noticeable except when the same loud obnoxious vehicles goes by every early evening.

It’s about location not comfort

This campground is close to Lake Michigan and lake Mac . Also convent access to town by car. Not my favorite sites(where are stayed) on the west end are small. Looks like the sites on the east end are larger and more comfortable. Very nice camp hosts! Clean restrooms and showers.

Exactly what you would expect from a State Park

It's clean. It's well laid out. It's well staffed. It's near Holland, MI and Lake Michigan beaches. It has electricity only - no water or sewer in campsites. It's beautiful and piney and full of poison ivy and mosquitoes because it's in Michigan. Suck it up and enjoy the view.
