"Multiple playgrounds, toddler pool and regular pool, jump pad, and lots of room to run around."
$45 - $85 / night
"Year round parks are so hard to find in Michigan. This one is awesome. Great spots in the trees and also back in spots right on the river."
"This is a quirky little campground tucked away along a large river. It's not large, but half of the sites are directly on a wide fast moving river. Occasionally a paddleboat goes buy with tourists. "
"First time in central Michigan and it was absolutely beautiful. The campground has a great location and lots of mountain bike and hiking trails."
"This is a campground in Yankee Spring Recreational Area in Mid-Michigan. This is a nice rustic campground near the NCT(North Country Trail)."
"Holland State Park is popular for its expansive sandy beach along Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa where swimming, sun bathing, fishing, and boating are popular activities. "
"The Lake Macatawa campground is across the street from a small beach on the Macatawa Lake. This is a wooded campground. The sites are pretty tight as is usual for a Michigan State Park."
$50 - $70 / night
"Spacing was generous between locations. We had a drive-in(forward) location(#10) overlooking the small lake. There was some interstate noise but it was more of a steady hum and not an issue at all."
"And the only trash bin we could find was at the entrance of the grounds (which was quite a distance from 241 our site)."
"This is also a short drive away from tons of beautiful walking paths."
"You can walk the trail to the state park beach and store. Bathrooms are clean."
$48 - $52 / night
"Campsites are easy to get into with plenty of room to get situated. Close to town and fairly short drive to Lake Michigan."
"Searching for a 1 night space on the michigan lake we had to look more around and find this wonderful campground. Just 10 minutes away to downtown Holland and only 20 minutes away of the beach."
"The roads around the campground are paved and great for bike riding, skateboarding, scooters, or just taking a walk. They deliver firewood to your site, which is a plus."
"Not so big that you couldn’t walk it on a little family hike. Has a pool and a little beach area. Stopped here on our road trip last year and plan to stop there again in June.."
"We did venture out to a brewery 5-10 mins away in Allendale and Grand Haven is about 20-25 minutes away if you want to cruise out to Lake Michigan. The pool was clean and we had a lot on the pond."
"Very easy drive to the lighthouse, too!"
GuideWe stayed Sunday, and Monday night of Labor Day weekend for the second time this year. This place is clean! The only negative of this place is that the water is not as clear compared to a little north & south. I think it has something to do with the grand river being so close. The walk down & back to the beach is pretty strenuous if you are not used to the dunes & a hill. If you are elderly or not in shape you might go to the beach at an easier access point. Bathrooms & showers are always very clean. They have a campground host that offers free coffee in the mornings & tools you can barrow for your campsite. This is a great place for families. Well spaced sites. No alcohol allowed and pretty quiet after 11pm just the occasional person is awake. We had the site with the creek behind us so we sat our tent up facing the creek. Monday morning there was a lot of people leaving so we did get woke up pretty early w/ a lot of noise of people leaving from Labor Day but Monday night we had empty sites all around us & it was very chill Tuesday morning. I was a little worried that the workers would say something to us bc we had not packed fully by 11 but we were able to finish our breakfast and pack up quickly without them saying anything to us.
ScoutThe little owners wife racially profiled my kids friends mom, in front of the kids!!!!!! Ha! She tried accusing us of sneaking in their pool. That's hilarious, because we paid $3700.00 for a seasonal. The pool is actually small and it was oily and full of hair. Being off Apple Ave, it's loud and hard to relax. My husband had a tragic workplace accident, so we weren't able to get to the camper in a few weeks. The owner called him multiple times at once, being aggressive with his tone, trying to get us to pull our camper so they can rent that spot out. They must be desperate for money. They should try reading up on the law. Their website lies about their amenities, they had no fish all season and their pond was disgusting.
LegendThis was our first time staying at Covert Park Beach + Campground. We stayed in site 52 with our 21 ft travel trailer. The site is a good size. Tree placement made it a little tricky to back into, but nothing crazy. We stayed Sunday to Saturday, so we got to see it at its bustling weekend peak and the quiet, cozy weekday vibe. Family friendly, dog friendly and kid friendly. Dogs aren't allowed on the beach, but there's a beach a few minutes down the road (Hagar Beach) where you can bring leashed dogs. Sunset views were beautiful. Bathrooms were very clean and showers nice and hot. The two guys who were running the check-in and campground operations were super cool- they were the perfect mix of attentive and laid back. No sewer on campsites but there's a dump station when you enter/exit. Ice and firewood are abundantly available and can be delivered to your site. We loved our stay here. Tree cover is generous, and it really preserves the camping feel. Weekend crowd was fun, friendly and lots of locals. Would definitely stay again!
ScoutI have had a very enjoyable stay. The river location is quite nice and the grounds are very well cared for. The site(and all sites, as far as I can see) are quite level. The bathrooms are not just clean and well maintained, but the shower rooms also have a dedicated sink and toilet, which I much appreciate. The washer and dryers in the bathhouse are brand new and take credit cards. While it is near a regional airport, there is close to no air traffic and no commercial traffic I noticed. Overall, probably one of the top 5 campgrounds I have encountered, if the list was for being up to date, well thought out and well provisioned. Everything was top notch.
GuideTents sites are now $20 and RV hookups (water and 20/30 amp) are $30. When I got to the police station they were closed for the week but a phone # was provided to call dispatcher and an officer responded promptly to help me get registered. Cash or check only.
ScoutHad a reservation for 6 months and the day we were to arrive, we were told we could not have the site we prepared for because someone else wanted to stay longer. Management has the right to alter your reservation without your consent or the courtesy of a phone call. When questioned, the owner treated us like garbage and was rude as hell. Would never recommend this place to anyone, stay away!!!
TravelerI camped here countless times throughout my childhood. It was nice returning. I brought back great memories and it struck a balance of staying up with the times but still leaving most to nature.
Since there are no water or sewer hook ups, lines at the dump/fill station can get long.
Sites are easy to get in and out of with RV/TT.
Don’t miss out on the great finishing and hiking. A great plus is still seeing kids rise actual bikes!
ScoutBad owner.
He has anger issues.
Not everything someone does while camping can be an issue
TravelerWe’ve stayed at both sites listed. 161 you do have neighbors pretty close, but we just stayed at 51 and it is extremely secluded! We had an amazing time tent camping it was so quiet! We love it here already with only being here twice!
