    Jellystone Park North Port Huron

    Very disappointing, bored kids in an expensive campground.

    The store staff and lifeguards were great! My disappointments:

    * 5:30 PM We were in our screened in porch when a golf car blaring rap music was cleaning out all the fire pits. Maintenance crew did not treat guests with respect.

    * Grounds teams were cleaning up sites, again loud work due to closing down.

    * Internet was completely down due to"an electrician accidentally cut the wires". They were not planning on fixing this for the season.

    * Slides were closed or not working (due to wind, though there was VERY little wind), even the lifeguards were hard pressed to give us that answer. It was obvious they did not want to run them the last week they were open.

    * Pool heater was broken and they were not going to fix it, it was too cold to swim. The pool stayed empty.

    * The mini gold course was torn up in several places. The ponds and water areas were not working. Entire course has been neglected. Golf clubs are beaten up.  My two 10 year old grandchildren were bored, we played board games.  I was so disappointed!

    The campground was closing the water sports, it was the last week open.  Earlier season may be better, though the gold course was real bad.

    Forester Park Campground

    Such a loud place at night!

    This is such a nice park and we really do love it, however due to quiet time not being followed, we are going to find a new one next year. Two years in a row we have not been able to sleep more than a couple of hours. This year a large group next to us had flood lights shining on our tent until 3 in the morning both nights along with loud music. No one was available to enforce the quiet hours and the lack of sleep ruined our trip. We love everything else about this place and they keep it very clean.

    McGinnis Lake Modern Campground — Holly Recreation Area

    In the woods

    Nice campground. Paved sites. Some are pretty secluded. Downside is that the campground and stuff to do, are far apart. Bring a bike or drive. Beach is nice. Has a water park on the lake.

    Port Huron KOA

    Lots of amenities

    Plenty of friendly staff. The site offers a lot of activities including pools, put put golf and play areas for the kids. The grounds are well kept. It’s very busy. Golf carts are a bit of a pain. Lots of private ones but also rentals and they’re everywhere. WiFi is slow but stable. You probably won’t be able to watch Netflix. AT&T service is terrible. Our friends have T-Mobile and it is very fast for them.

    Oakland County Addison Oaks

    County Campground

    Nice park, family friendly, very clean and maintained. Bike and boat rental, children’s playground and activities. Hiking and biking trails. RC airport. When in this area this its the place to stay. If I lived in this area it would be a destination. Price is right!

    Pontiac Lake Recreation Area

    Clean & convenient

    Had a nice stay here. The campground was full but quiet. The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean with hot water. Site 71 wasn’t the most private but still nice. The spots are all pretty private due to trees and vegetation. Nice fire pit. Water hookup and dump on site.

    Jellystone Park North Port Huron

    Best campground in the Michigan Thumb

    This campground has SO much to do that you will never hear your kids say those dreaded words.. I am bored! The are round the clock activities, pool with kid area, water slides, obstacle course, GaGa pit, playground, jumped and so much more! There are multiple ways to stay RV,tent or choose from one of the many cabins. Clean bathrooms and restrooms throughout the campground. There is a camp store with homemade ice cream and even a cafe to get your quick meals. Ground are kept meticulously clean.

    Metamora-Hadley Recreation Area

    Okay

    Stayed here the first night of July 4th weekend. Full campground and sites are close together and crowded. With the large camping trailers and 2-3 vehicles per site, it felt claustrophobic. A good number of sites are not level. Bathrooms were well maintained and people were courteous. I would not stay here again because it felt packed with people.
