Best Glamping near Battle Creek, MI

Fort Custer is a hidden gem in Michigan. Nobody thinks to go camping near Battle Creek, but they really should reconsider!

Never over-crowded, tons of trails, and very nice paddle board, kayak, and canoe rentals! The lake at the state park is outlined by trails and features a small island to paddle around!

We stayed for a “glamping” weekend in 2019. All women camping weekend... sounded amazing for our group of girls! We had a blast... but not because of Eby Campground. We paid an extra $25 for a wristband that was supposed to allow us into all these great activities including laser tag across the street... except it didn’t! Went to play laser tag... couldn’t because we had on tshirts with the arms cut off. So we were ok with that and were going to run back and change... then it was no the time was up and the group ahead of us wouldn’t be done before the cutoff time. Alright then... so we head to the pizza and wine dinner... except they were out of pizza and there was no wine... there were a couple other things they had planned but didn’t pan out. We were then stalked by the security guy on the golf cart the rest of the night. We were still having fun so we didn’t care about all these things... we went to check out and asked for a refund on the wristband since it was poor planning and not enough information given to the campers about times etc. they refused!! It is a nice campground for the most part with playgrounds and ponds and trails and it was clean but the customer service is seriously lacking.

We are heading to Colorado from Michigan so this was just a stopover, one night. Very much like this park and will be back when we have more time to enjoy it. Spacious sites, good shade.

Cute little campground in a small town in Dorr, Michigan. Lots of activities, swimming, wagon rides, jump pad, and more. Facilities were fairly clean and easily accessible. My favorite was that they offered social activities on the weekends for people to meet one another. Would highly recommend and am looking forward to future visits!

This was a pleasant surprise to have what felt like a semi private lot nestled in the woods. We had site 1 and felt we were close to a bathroom shower house as well as to the entrance. The restrooms were kept reasonably clean, and there's a nice playground by the bath house.

The negatives? It's a drive to the beach, which is rather crowded on nice Saturdays (to be expected)... there's no shortage of mosquitoes (but hey, you're in the woods, right? Bring a thermacell! )... and the midnight snack bandits we call raccoons are not going to hide from you. We had one traverse along our site while cooking dinner, but he left us alone and kept on his way. We saw several others during our stay... keep food and trash stored away!

In all we are very likely to return someday!

Nice campground! Lots to do, kayaking, hiking, swimming etc... we will definitely be back!

lots need mowing so lots of bugs, bring insect repellent.

swampy area. Watch out for blackflies. Bring the bug spray!! Tried hiking with small kids there— lots of mountain bikers on the trails.

We loved this campground! It is open year round and quiet when we went in January! They have electric and nice sized spots that are sectioned off well. Tons of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails in addition to lakes to kayak!

Our favorite state park to stay at. Large quiet sites and lots of seclusion.

Wow! Three lakes, hiking, biking and horse trails, showers, camp host and super quiet this past week while there. Not many campers, but everyone there seemed pleasant and were quiet. Deep sites, electric if you so desire, firepit and tables. I use a tent. Driving from the west through Augusta is a treat...so pretty. Civilization not far at all. Fishing, beach, play areas and an amusement park for mountain bikers! No alcohol. Will return!

I have stayed here quite often. The park is a typical state campground. The campsites have good space and isolation from other sites. The electrical was updated so alls it’s have their own hook up but some of the older boxes can have issues. The site I was on had the 30 amp plug that was not working.

There is a lot to do here; fishing, horseback riding. Mountain bike trails, lake with beach so if you get board it’s your fault. The mountain bike trails are challenging and will provide a good workout.

I will stay here again and again.

MMichigan State park with large sites and lots of privacy.  $25per night with electric.  Several no wake lakes for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. One lake with swimming beach. Lots of trails for hiking,  horses and mountain bikes. Roads quiet and could easily ride your road bike to nearby bike paths. I loved the lack of lights in the park at night making for a beautiful night sky.

Great place to camp, our first trip there was the weekend after the 4th of July. Wish we would have came here yrs ago! Great sites, all divided by trees for some privacy. Will go back

Great campgrounds very friendly staff bathrooms are extremely clean great time nice beach

We camp here several times a year. Love the staff, lakes, and trails!!!

Ok, so I might be biased because this is where I spent my summers growing up. But I’ve never found another campground with such a great mix of secluded sites, but still opportunities to meet and party with fellow camper.

Endless hiking trails and two lakes where you can fish, swim, and boat.

If you’re in the area, this is highly recommended.

Nice 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

Another 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.

Huge 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.

Just bought our first camper this past summer and decided to take it to Ft. Custer to try it out! We absolutely loved this place. There are plenty of hiking trails and the fishing was great. Will definitely be back again!!!
