Best Campgrounds near Cannonsburg, MI

732 Reviews

Campgrounds around Cannonsburg, Michigan feature a mix of county parks, state recreation areas, and private facilities providing multiple accommodation types. Wabasis Lake County Park offers lakefront sites with tent camping, RV hookups, and cabin rentals, situated approximately 20 miles northeast of Grand Rapids. Cedar Springs RV Resort, Duke Creek Campground, and Scalley Lake Park provide cabin accommodations alongside traditional campsites. Several facilities in the region maintain yurt and glamping options for those seeking alternative lodging experiences.

Access and amenities vary substantially among the region's developed campgrounds, with most operational from May through October. The majority of campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly for weekend stays and cabin rentals. Modern restrooms with showers are standard at the larger facilities like Wabasis Lake and Cedar Springs RV Resort. "The campground was great, and clean. The park was nice and so were all the kid activities! The pool is very nice and the store is stocked nicely," noted one visitor to Duke Creek Campground. Road noise can be a factor at some locations, particularly at Cedar Springs RV Resort where highway proximity impacts the camping experience.

Waterfront camping represents a significant draw throughout the region, with several campgrounds situated on lakes or rivers. Wabasis Lake County Park features a swimming beach, playground, and boat rentals, though visitors mention the lake is shallow and gets crowded during summer weekends. A camper described Scalley Lake Park as an "amazing spot away from the city" with a "private lake with no motors so it is very quiet and peaceful." Family-oriented amenities are common at many locations, with Duke Creek offering train rides, scavenger hunts, and horseback riding opportunities. Campers seeking a more rustic experience can find tent-only camping at Camp Clear Sky, which provides a middle ground between developed facilities and more primitive options while still offering access to drinking water and toilet facilities.

    Drews Country Camping

    Rustic Backyard Camping Charm

    This is a sweet little family-owned park just outside Holland with about 30 grassy sites that feel more like someone’s big backyard than an actual campground. The place has been around since 1981, and while you’ll notice some older RVs parked around the edges and a slightly dumpy vibe overall, it’s still cared for with pride with fairly clean restrooms (in a building that looks like it was built in the 1930s), a small playground where the boys burned off energy, and a pool that (full disclosure) sits right up front near the highway so it feels a bit awkward, but still fun on a hot day. Our boys made fast friends, turning a simple game of tag into a neighborhood adventure before we strolled into town for cones at the Polka Dot Ice Cream Parlor and a sunset walk along 8th Street. I’d recommend Drew’s to families for its homey feel, fairly well-maintained facilities despite the vintage look, and the friendly mix of full-timers and travel-campers that keeps things relaxed and welcoming.

    Fisherman's Landing & Campground

    Classic Michigan Sunsets with Lakefront Views

    Nestled along the shores of Muskegon Lake, Fisherman’s Landing Launch & Campground hums with the easy rhythm of boats, endless laughter and evening campfires over s’mores. It’s a city-run spot with around a hundred sites, a marina close at hand and the kind of well-worn facilities that feel lived-in but cared for with clean restrooms, warm showers and a big playground that kept the boys busy while my husband wrestled with the fishing rods. We spent sunset on the dock, toes trailing in the water as the boys skipped stones and tried to out-cheer one another. I’d recommend Fisherman’s Landing to families who appreciate a laid-back lakeside stay, friendly folks and those golden Michigan summer evenings that end with the smell of water and woodsmoke.

    Beautiful Park

    Lake Michigan Campground at Muskegon State Park Campground

    Lakeshore Campground at Muskegon State Park

    Staying in the north loop of the Lakeshore campground. Sites were level and shaded by mature trees. Road is a bit narrow which made backing out travel trailer in a bit tricky, not impossible. Family friendly campground that is a couple hundred feet away from Lake Michigan. Will definitely come back.

    Beach Campground — Holland State Park

    Entry policy needs revising

    Got to campground at 13:00, checked to see if my reserved site was vacant (it was vacant) then went to check in. Attendant told couldn’t check in until 15:00. Had to park in marina parking lot.  Went back to check in and there was a line out to the street (safety issue).  It then took us 1/2 hr to check in then had to wait another 1/2hr in line for water. Got to site at 16:15.  Something has to change. Was told this was a Holland State Park decision because other state parks don’t do this.  Horrible, horrible policy

    White River RV Park & Campground

    Terrible Campground/Noisy/Rude Staff

    Campsites are right on top of each other, so very little privacy. There were people outside our tent all night making noise. Staff was very rude. We left a day early.
