"This was one of our favourite campgrounds in Michigan sites were far apart in secluded great brewery nearby."
"The site was very nice and had buffers all around, with only a neighbor to one side. We chose 61 because on the map it appeared close to the bathrooms and park."
$20 - $25 / night
"Beautiful walking trail along river. Quiet. Campsite for tents and RV. Call for directions lol The gps takes you to the old back entrance."
"The ORV Route is right outside the campground entrance and you can ride to the trail. You can also get ice and gas at the gas station in town by taking the alley. We stayed again in 2020 in Our RV."
"The campground is within walking distance to beautiful Chicagoan Lake. Onsite laundry and small camp store. Not a lot of privacy in the campground. Most people are in RV's so that's not an issue."
"They have a decent playground and camp store, the beach is great for swimming and the lake for fishing. They have a dock to jump off about 50' out, and another with a diving board about 200' out. "
"Loved the hike in, decided to walk the whole loop and unfortunately the bridge at the end was under water and we had to turn around and walk back instead."
"There was access to the lake from our campsite."
"Right across the road from a lake."
"Keyes lake was right across the street and the fishing was great. Most certainly will return."

"The campground is along the lake. You can choose a spot lakeside or more wooded. Some sites are reservable and others are first come first serve. We found openings early on a Friday afternoon."
"It is right off of lost lake which is a small lake that can swim in, small boating, fishing. A hiking trail backs up to the campground!"
"I live near this park, so I frequent it. They have recently made improvements to the park area, which make it very kid friendly. The park also has a nice pavilion with picnic tables. "
TravelerI celebrated my birthday weekend at Herons Retreat in the beginning of June and had a fantastic time.
My wife and I grabbed firewood from the visitor center and parked at boat launch #9 which made for a quick 15-20 minute paddle to the campsite depending on how much gear we brought along.
The boat in site was clean and easy to identify with a fire pit/grate and 2 wooden chairs with plenty of tall trees to hang food and garbage from.
We came across plenty of wildlife including herons as well as deer, turtles, wild turkey, and loons while hiking and paddling around the reservoir.
Overall a great balance of easy access and privacy on a vibrant reservoir.
TravelerMy husband and I had a great time at Bond Falls and will be coming back this weekend. I just hope that we can get a site right on the water because I walk with a cane and I need easy access to the water's edge so I can go fishing.
GuideThe park is nice, but a little underwhelming. Nice sites - both back-up and pull-thru. Bathrooms and showers were excellent. There are also pit toilets in the loops. We found so many ticks on us!! Be careful! Camp store really only has wood and ice and T-shirts. Would be a great park if you had a boat. Once in the water at the beach, the water turns black (ugh). Really expensive for out-of-Staters. Cost me about $100 for 2 nights (because of Wisconsin Parks car pass).
GuideI tried to get to this campsite back in 2022, but that failed horrendously. I'm at site 3 easy access to the river not deep over here, you can post your chair in the river and not get your bum wet. Fire ring was clean of garbage, the vault toilets were clean and well stocked. Park service does their rounds almost every day. There is a trash bin at the entrance. Looks like it'll be a paid site in the future. The afternoon after I made this post the park service put up a new sign. The area is now $16 a night.
RangerLong windy road into the the campground resulting in a peaceful area. The lake was nice and there was a small beach. Enjoyed listening to the sandhill cranes every morning.
ScoutThe CG was very clean with clean pit toilets. Upper and lower. Lower was near river. Nice trail along river to falls. Water pump by site 1 in upper area. Good base area for fishing the Pike river.
GuideWinter camped here, was a nice spot pic nik table, fire ring, wilderness toilet. There is hiking trail access from campsite,but no water access to butternut lake or it would have been 5 star. There is access down the road.Did get one bar of cell (cricket) full with 20 foot ant. Note I've been through here in summer and the road is gravel very dusty from traffic.
GuideAs of this writing, 2024, they have recently installed new showers and flush bathrooms. I live near this campground, so I have stayed at almost every site in the park. If you cant have or don't want a lake site, site #4 is the largest. It is almost 35 yards across the front. Trees are growing back, but not many mature trees on the East of the park. There is a really nice beach area adjacent to, but not in the campground. It is a nice short walk. Each site has electric hookup, and some sites have more than one box. Not much ambient light in this park, so it is great for viewing stars and Northern Lights. This park also is situated near the ATV trail, and has access to the 160 mile Blue Ox trail system.
GuideI live near this park, so I frequent it. They have recently made improvements to the park area, which make it very kid friendly. The park also has a nice pavilion with picnic tables. Sites are spacious and spread out compared to other parks, and the area is pretty quiet. Sites have water and electric hookup.
