Off-road vehicle enthusiasts will find direct trail access from Mountain Valley Lodge & Campground, which sits on open terrain in Thompsonville. This private campground operates as a newer facility with full hookup sites designed for both back-in and pull-through configurations. The property borders state land, providing immediate access to extensive trail networks.
Sites offer generous spacing with good tree coverage for shade, according to multiple camper reports. The campground maintains individual shower facilities in a dedicated bathhouse, with several visitors noting the cleanliness of both restrooms and showers. A swimming pool receives regular chemical monitoring throughout the day, and children have space to ride bikes around the property.
The owners provide nightly firewood delivery service, driving around the campground with a truck loaded with wood. For $10, they deliver a full wheelbarrow of firewood and stack it beside each site's fire pit. An on-site camp store stocks camping essentials without the typical markup found at many campgrounds. "Restrooms and showers were both clean," reports Brad F..
Sites range from $35-52 per night and include electric, water, and sewer hookups. The campground accepts reservations and allows pets. Those seeking additional options can explore campgrounds around Thompsonville throughout Benzie County's recreational corridor.
