Best Campgrounds near Cannonsburg, MI

723 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.

    Lake Michigan Campground at Muskegon State Park Campground

    Beautiful and well taken care of!

    The campground was full on my visit, but that did not affect the atmosphere. It was quiet and sites are large and well spaced out. The staff did a great job keeping things clean and well stocked. My site was right next to the beach access, and it was fantastic!

    Hoffmaster State Park Campground

    We will keep coming back

    We 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.

    Crockery Creek RV Park

    Rude and unprofessional

    The 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.

    White River RV Park & Campground

    A camp that does everything right!

    There’s a great variety of campsites available with a north woods bent!Management does a fine job of cleanliness, neatness and extreme attention to detail. Two facts summarize our satisfaction with this operation: cleaning people are seen making the rounds of each and every restroom and shower house TWICE daily. The management keeps a dedicated maintenance man available and on 24 hour call! He will aid and assist everything from lock outs to rookie campers doing their first sanitation drain, to motor vehicle issues. We are on our second annual visit.

    Steamboat Park Campground

    Wonderful, well thought through campground.

    I 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.

    Brookside City Park

    More expensive now

    Tents 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.

    Tyler Creek

    Absolutely garbage

    Had 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!!!

    Highway to Haven Family Campground

    Find somewhere else to go. Owner is too much!! Very uptight

    Bad owner. 

    He has anger issues. 

    Not everything someone does  while camping can be an issue

    Chinook Camping

    Nice Spot

    Tent lots are not very private. No hiking trails or green area to walk around or hike. Good atmosphere and lots of stuff to do though. Tubing was awesome and you end at the campground. Nice store and food options on the grounds
