Located on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, Hoffmaster State Park is 1,200 acres of wooded sand dunes and 3 miles of sandy beach. The park is named for P.J. Hoffmaster, considered to be the founder of Michigan’s state parks system. Located just a few miles south of Muskegon, and 40 miles west of Grand Rapids, this park offers an outdoor reprieve where you can swing in your hammock under shady pine and hardwood forest, and enjoy pleasant lakeside strolls while peeping for migrating sparrows and hawks. One of the park’s must-do activities is climbing the winding wooden stairway to the Dunes Overlook for great views over the lake, and the fascinating dunes that have developed along the lakeshore.
Open from April to October, the campground at Hoffmaster State Park offers nearly 300 wooded tent and RV campsites on either side of Little Black Creek. Sites are equipped with electrical hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits; restrooms and water faucets are located throughout the campground area. Sites can accommodate trailers and RVs up to 50 feet; a dump station is available near the campground entrance. A kids’ playground is located near the creek, between the two camp areas, and there are two trailheads for accessing the beach. There are also several picnic areas and a concession stand inside the park. Dogs are permitted in the campground area and on the trails, but must remain leashed; they are not permitted on the swim beaches. Campsite rates range from $25–$37/night.
If you need a break from sunning and swimming on the beaches at Hoffmaster, you can visit the Gillette Visitor Center. You can learn about the park’s sand dune ecosystem, see exhibits about the park’s flora and fauna, or attend a nature program about native birds, bugs or beasts. The center also offers guided, interpretive bird walks, dune hikes and night prowls. If you’re ready to strike out on your own, pick up a trail map and start roaming the park’s 5 miles of hiking trails. On the 1-mile Dune Overlook Trail you can climb 100 stairs into the park’s “quiet area” for a panoramic view over the dunes and Lake Michigan. Bring your birding guide with you, as the park is known for a wide variety of residential and migrant songbirds and raptors.

ThisThis was the first time we've we had some guests come in for a couple hours and they were charging them $5 per person to get in and I had my aunt come in and she was handicap she parked close up to my camper it was on the grass a little bit and they yelled at her for it these people are rude and they watch you like a hawk every little thing you do they know what you're doing they kept charging my husband's credit card $5 per person I feel if you pay for your campsite you shouldn't have to pay for your guest they should check in at the office but they shouldn't have to pay I would never go back there again

The park is beautiful. Lovely nature trails and the Lake was incredible to see. Facilities are clean and the campground was quiet.

Nice and cozy little campground in the middle of beautiful rolling farmlands. First time passing through and found it conveniently located within 40 mins of Holland and Saugatuck without needing to get on the highway. The woman at check in was extremely courteous and helpful. We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. Most people here are seasonal, occupying almost all the lakefront sites. We may have seen one lakefront available for renters. Everyone was polite, friendly and quiet after quiet hours. The sites are very small, not much privacy, but well kept. There are more spacious sites available on the upper grassy loop. Well kept grounds throughout with beautiful flowers. The bathrooms were wonderful with great hot water and water pressure. Pretty lake with swimming beach and playground lovely for day use. We would stay again. We stayed with 34’ camper inner lakefront. I did share a picture of waterfront sites, the one vacant spot is the only site available to rent right now. The rest are seasonal.

Not much to do in surrounding area, but a local get away for us

Great place for a few days, nice location and close to everything you'll need. Sites were shady, grass and gravel, level and plenty of space in between you and your neighbors. Lots to check out, historical area with lots to learn and see. Train rides on the weekends. Dog stations everywhere, super clean and well kept bathrooms and grounds. Great stay

We just camped at the park this weekend, which was the opening weekend after the rebuild of the bath houses and some other improvements. First, we loved how wooded and beautiful the campground was. The spots were nice and secluded, and the whole place was very beautiful. There were a few things that we didn't enjoy. First, it was EXTREMELY buggy. If you weren't covered in Deep Woods bug spray the whole time, you were getting bit. Second, I don't feel that there were enough showers. There were 5 showers in each bathhouse, making 10 showers total for the entire campground. I found myself waiting in a line every time I wanted a shower. Lastly, I wish there was a walking trail that was more accessible from the campground itself.
LegendFamily campground with beautiful Lake MI beach. Sites very close together with no privacy. Bathhouse clean;showers hot. Site 80 is listed as full shade but does get morning sun.
Traveler
The camp is under new management and they are friendly and welcoming. I had no issues during my 1 night stay. The camp store is well stocked, and has firewood at a good price.
TravelerSaw that prior new mgmt wasn’t great but I had never been here before and read reviews—-there is now new New mgmt in 2024 and I thought they were great hosts! I will be back for some beach yoga.

Bertha Brock is a great place for families. Brining our kids here from Grand Rapids is quick and easy. It is generally quiet, especially on non holiday weekends. Occasionally there is chopped firewood up front, you get a goof amount for your money. Relatively close to town if you need to purchase food or other gear. Bugs (mosquitoes) can get pretty bad, bring lots of bug spray! Near ionia state park with a nice beach for swimming or boating (no wake). Campground manager is very nice and helpful if needed.
GuideNot a bad place. Pretty quiet, other than the usual occasional idiot. Decent sites. ADA sites concrete, regular sites grass, sandy, or a combo of both. Pretty average spacing for a state park, except when a doofus parks sideways in a back-in site. (Wish the MI DNR would put a stop to that ). Typical MI state park sites, electric, fire ring and a picnic table. Most sites shaded, completely to some. Will return.
Any grocery shopping you'd want is within 2 to 5 miles. (Aldi, Meijer, Kroger) Fast food too, if you need it.
Verizon and T-Mobile service sucks here. No park wifi.

Campground and pool is nice. Owners are unapologetically rude to guests when there is any issues. Had a minor parking issue with a neighbor when I moved my vehicle onto their parking spot on sunday for 20 minutes because they weren't there all wkend and I was spraying weed killer. The neighbor showed up and complained at the club house. The owner came to my lot and started yelling at me about how i have no right to do that. I apologized while he was yelling at me and he slammed his buggie door and drove off. As soon as I moved my vehicles I went to that neighbor.to apologized and she said no big deal. I gave the owners a bad review on line and now I am being kicked out. How is that right?! I follow the rules and keep my lot clean. I don't deserve to be yelled at and treated in such a rude manner. IF you decide to camp there don't speak to the owners unless you have to... this has happened to other guests too. Many have moved to other places because of the way they talk to people.
ScoutOwner is rude and unapologetic for being so.
Poisonous plants and creatures are usually pretty to look at. So is tyler creek until you speak to the owners for any reason and then they are rude and venomous. If I were you I would spend my hard earned money somewhere else.

Heather and her husband are truly amazing people. There campground is great for small or large groups. I stayed at 34 which is a tent sight and it was perfect. The restrooms and showers were Immaculate. I would recommend Kal-Haven for your next campsite in New Haven MI!

Beans are fair trade and roasted on site
Fireflies and Starry Evenings.

Bike Shed for tools
interurban allows car free adventure
GuideGreat tree covered sites. Bathrooms nice. Site loops confusing, friends couldn’t find me. Very family friendly not for ppl that stay up past 10pm.
Great Michigan life.
GuideThis was our second trip to this property (1st was Sept 2021), and it was really nice. We went Aug 25 - 27th (Friday - Sunday). The property has something like 219 campsites, and that weekend every single one of them was full. Noisy during the day with a few large groups and a LOT of kids, but they were quiet at night and it was not a problem. Some of the campsites are very close together and it's hard to determine that from the map or choosing ahead of time. The showers and bathrooms are fine, and I think they're being upgraded this season so I expect them to be quite nice for 2024 and beyond. We took full advantage of the mountain bike trails which are very easily accessed from the campground. We also took a trip into Battle Creek for a quick stop by CVS, so it's close and convenient for lost or forgotten items. No problems with bugs or mosquitos, other than the normal for being a forested property.
On Saturday morning the camp host had coffee and donuts for a $1 donation. And firewood was easily accessible on site.
Would not hesitate to stay here again.
Traveler
Sites weren’t too tight. Campstore had everything incredible ice cream and pizza that could be delivered to your site. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Perfect for kids activities. Close to adulting fun, food, and shops in South Haven.

Beautiful
TravelerStayed here for a single night, but we wished we had stayed longer. The sites were spacious and loved the river that was always in view. Bathrooms were clean which is a huge plus. The one downfall was the geese droppings that were all over the river bank.
ScoutHuge beautiful campground. Lots of privacy. Needs extra access to the Kalamazoo River for kayakers. Make a campground near the beach. Gas is too expensive to be driving two and a quarter miles one way to the beach. The dump station needed a serious update.
ScoutAnother great camping experience, site 210 has an amazing trail that leads directly to the showers at one end and at the other path went directly to running water, plus only a couple of yards from a great walking trail.
ScoutThis is a campground as well as a place for people to join with a seasonal trailer. My family and I purchased a seasonal spot in 2020 and recently sold it. My hope is that by sharing my experience, I will save others from going in without a clear vision of Sandy Pines. Although the amenities and recreational choices are amazing, the management of this campground is some of the worst that I've ever experienced. There are SO many rules, however these rules are not consistently enforced leaving you often confused. Communication is lacking and you will not hear back when you reach out regarding permits, questions, or even when your trailer sells. Here are some examples of my experience: 1. My close friend hired a company(Bos Built) to put a deck on her trailer. The company entered the park 7 days in a row with multiple vehicles and built her deck without her present. On the 8th day this same company was going to come in to put vinyl plank in a room in my trailer. When I called to get them a guest pass to enter the park, I was told they wouldn't allow the company to enter without me being present. I explained my confusion by this and they were not willing to listen and in fact told me that I was wrong about my friend not being there(I was on vacation with her in North Carolina when they were building the deck). I reached out to the park president about the inconsistency and was given no resolution. 2. I joined the rules committee after my flooring experience to hopefully understand how the rules are developed and discussed. The handbook(rules, regulations, bylaws) is 79 pages long. There is not a chance that these rules will ever be less with the current board and committee. Every concern regarding a rule brought to the committee in my time serving was met with immediate resistance to any change. Reasoning always fell back on liability. Some examples of rules discussed- the contractors in the park without member present(liability, safety), a pontoon boat with a See-Doo switch engine(liability, way to dangerous), electric bikes/scooters/etc(need to add a rule to eliminate due to liability), lot clean up(SERIOUS discussion with zero tolerance for even a fist size amount of mildew due to it taking away neighbor's ability to be happy). There will be no change so be aware of rules before buying a seasonal lot. 3. While serving on the rules committee, we as committee members were asked to drive around on our golf carts and look for those that didn't clean up their lot and text/email security so they could write tickets. Yes. They wanted us to spend our time on vacation tattling on others. Everyone on the committee happily did this except me. 4. I got a site cleanup citation for having extra patio blocks stacked beside my deck($100 fine). I really was unaware of this being“trashy.” The patio blocks were there when I bought in 2020(it was not mentioned at closing/inspection) and I did not get cited in 2021 or 2022. This year I did. Inconsistency continues, as my neighbor across the street had patio blocks in the driveway. They did not receive a citation.They mail you a paper to your home address telling you that you have a citation, but it doesn't include a date. Like snail mail it. You have 2 weeks to clean it up or they fine you again.($200 and 2 points, 6 points gets your card access removed). While I called immediately upon receiving the citation in the mail to determine the date of citation, it had already been 2 weeks. 5. We knew it was time to go. We listed our trailer using Kent from sales to help us. On Thursday, July 27 I got a call from Kent with an offer. We did counter offer, but didn’t hear back from Kent. I assumed the potential buyer didn't take my counter. On Monday, July 31 I was at a public event downtown where we live. I was approached by a friend who told me my trailer sold(she knew someone who knew the buyer). Another person also approached me telling me it sold. Kent didn't tell me. I emailed him that night and he confirmed that yes it sold(offer accepted on Saturday, July 29 and money put down/contract signed the morning of July 31), he's just been busy. When I expressed the unprofessionalism of finding out through the grapevine, he accused me of just being emotional. I emailed the president, Jeff on August 1, but he didn't even respond. I emailed him again on August 14 and he responded without an apology but stating that Kent was extremely professional and did nothing wrong. Kent will receive 6% of my sale, even if he is not professional and doesn’t communicate the actual sale with me. I am not alone in my feelings. The facebook group for members is full of people sharing similar experiences to mine. Perhaps join that group if able before purchasing a seasonal lot.
GuideAbsolutely perfect weekend to stay at the park. As always, everyone was very pleasant. Very quiet and beautiful night!
TravelerNice sites, very well organized for privacy. Trees and shrubs dividing sites. The lake is a couple miles away from campground, only 20 miles per hour if I recall. No alcohol permitted

Had a nice site and there is plenty to do here. The owners have done a great job fixing this place up.
Bathrooms were clean and the showers were nice.
There was some trash at the site, not bad, but I expect a clean site for this price.
Store was nice, clean, stocked and had Pizza, Pretzels and ice cream.
Swimming pool was active, but I did not use it.
I did not like the $5 per visitor charge. My family lives in this town and came to visit throughout my stay.
Ranger
This is a beautiful campsite with lots of good nature around. The primitive sites are the best in the area but the partial hookup sites are also beautiful. The dunes in the back are fun to explore and the pond is great to swim in. Lots of families here so there aren’t many loud parties going on.
The only annoying thing was that my reservation and the map itself said my campsite had water and electricity hookups, but when I got here I realized that there is a single electric post shared by 4 campsites and the water spigot was across the road and I couldn’t access it. Only the sites towards the front half of the campground have dedicated water and electricity.
They’ll bring you firewood within a few minutes of texting them and they charge it to your credit card on file. The key pickup is through an automated box so you can arrive any time you need. Great service! Showers are old but they keep them clean and they have plenty of warm water. Love this place.
