River floating draws many campers to Mystery Creek Campground, a privately run site along the Muskegon River in Newaygo, Michigan. The campground is family-operated and splits into two areas: seasonal sites on one side and non-seasonal sites on the other, with the most sought-after tent sites located down the hill directly on the river. Staff provide flotation devices and transport for river floats. No RVs or pull-behind campers are permitted on the riverside sites, though electric and water hookups are available elsewhere in the campground. Firewood and ice are sold on-site, and amenities include showers, drinking water, and WiFi. Campers planning a river float weekend should reserve early, as riverside tent sites are limited and fill quickly. Those weighing other options in the area can browse places to camp near Newaygo, including Salmon Run Campground & Vic's Canoes, which also sits along the river corridor.
