Allendale-West Grand Rapids KOA features spacious, wooded campsites with pet-friendly accommodations for both tent campers and RV owners. The campground maintains two dedicated fenced dog runs where pets can play off-leash while owners relax nearby. Pet owners must keep dogs leashed throughout the main camping areas and are expected to clean up after their animals using the provided waste stations. Conestoga Grand River Campground allows pets at all their sites with a maximum of two pets per reservation. Both campgrounds provide easy access to walking paths where campers can exercise their dogs. Bathrooms and shower facilities at the Allendale KOA remain exceptionally clean with staff regularly maintaining these amenities throughout the day.
Steamboat Park Campground's riverside location gives dogs plenty of opportunities to enjoy water access during hot summer months. The campground's level sites and partially paved roads make for comfortable walking with pets of all sizes. Most pet-friendly campgrounds in the Coopersville area enforce quiet hours after 10 PM, with barking dogs expected to be managed by their owners. Wildlife encounters require keeping pets secured, especially at dawn and dusk when animals are most active. The Grand Rapids area provides several veterinary clinics within a 20-minute drive of most campgrounds, including emergency services. Dogs particularly enjoy the tree-lined sites at Chapel in the Pines Campground where pine needles create soft walking surfaces between campsites.
"Unfortunately, a red flag was flying on our visit, so we only waded at the water's edge- but - still cool to lay out on the sugar-like sand and walk its 3 mile length!"

TravelerDefinitely the best camp ground in West Michigan! Clean sites, friendly staff, and many amenities. Camp store, laundry, showers and bathrooms, huge pool, hot tub, pickle ball courts, kids play ground, bikes, scooters, and kayaks for rent (with a kayak launch) and boat slips on the water. They have access to a dog park as well. Home away from home!
ScoutVery nice campground, Clean and well maintained and friendly office staff. Nice wooded trail (about 3/4 mile loop around the pond) for walking the pooches. There is a nice sized fenced dog park with potable water right there. Great little playground and bounce house for the kiddos.
TravelerWas a decent place to camp- lots are very close though! Luckily in the fall it wasn’t very busy. Nice little lake on property. Fire pits in odd spot near the road. No pets allowed-not even a cat that stays inside in your camper! Also- there is a $7 a day fee for out of the county. Even when you arrive late at night.
LegendHolland 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. Holland SP has two campgrounds – the Lake Macatawa Unit and the Beach Campground (which is where we stayed and the focus of this review). The Beach Campground is essentially a parking lot as the sites, patios and roads are paved with little grass among them. It is nestled between dunes which adds to the scenic value and blocks the strong winds coming off of Lake Michigan. The Lake Unit campground is much larger (211 campsites) than the Beach Campground and has more of a state park feel with trees, grass, and fire pits.
Site description:
The Beach Campground has 98 RV sites of which 31 are 50 amp full hook-up and two camper cabins. Some sites towards the northern section of the park have great views of Lake Michigan but be warned that strong winds can come off the lake and really shake your RV. When we were there in early May the winds were very strong with blowing sand which made us really glad we were not near the water.
Campsites are plenty wide to fit your RV with slide outs and car next to it without feeling cramped. Utilities are at the very back of the site so you may need an extension for your sewer hose. All sites were level. Every site has a picnic table. There are no fire pits at individual sites but community ones are located near the beach and you are permitted to use your own fire pit if you have one.
We were able to get nearly two dozen television stations with our antenna and had no problem locking into a satellite with our roof-mounted dish. Verizon phone and hotspot worked well.
So is this park big rig-friendly? In general, yes. Our site was certainly long (and wide) enough to fit our RV and the tow car next to it. However, we did have the back five feet overhanging the sand at the back of the site. This was no problem for us because our stabilizing jacks are in between our back tires. We were also there at a time when the park was fairly empty so backing in and pulling out was no problem. The sites are all set at an angle to the main road which makes backing easier.
Campground amenities:
By far the beach is the biggest draw to the campground. The wide beach lures sunbathers out in warm weather and is popular for a walk at sunset. There is a playground, picnic area, community fire pits, dump station, boat launch and concession stand. There is one restroom/shower house that was very clean but no laundry facilities.
What we liked:
We loved that fact that this campground was so close to water and the nice paved path for walking and hiking trails in the main part of the campground. Within 50 yards from our site we could be walking along Lake Macatawa or along the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. The beach is wide and expansive and is the place to be for awesome sunsets. When we were there the beach was not crowded because it was cold and windy but it would be a great place to enjoy a good book under an umbrella. Definitely liked the fact that this was a full hook-up state park with level sites.
What we didn’t like:
The park is essentially a parking lot with little grass and trees. What really surprised us was how many cars drove through the campground that were not staying there. There apparently are no restrictions on who drives through the park so many day-use visitors came by just for a look resulting in unnecessary traffic.
Be advised there is a “no alcohol” policy in the park and campground and you have to sign a piece of paper saying you will abide by that rule. The rule states that “Possessing or consuming alcohol is prohibited in all areas of the park throughout the entire year” even inside your RV.
In order to enter the state park you must have a Michigan Recreation Passport which costs $32 for an annual non-resident OR you have to pay $11/day to enter the park even if you are camped there.
Pet:
There are plenty of places to walk dogs here and access points to water if your dog likes to swim. Unfortunately, they are not allowed on the beach but there is a long walking path and within the main part of the park are miles of hiking trails and a nice overlook. This park does not have an unleashed dog park; however, there is one within five miles at the fairgrounds.
ScoutClean and nice little park with a cool "trading post" with nice merchandise, snacks and food. They have a dog park and trails on the property with a longer bike trail that runs alongside the campground. They had a band one night and an ice cream truck come through the next. Would recommend!
GuideI grew up coming here and they had expanded a lot on it in the last few years. You will never be bored and it is a true resort feeling, you will forget your camping! They have themed weekends filled with activities for both adults and children and have a pool, pizza and ice cream, jumping pillow, clubhouse, fishing, playground, dog park, and so much more!
ScoutThe staff is very friendly and helpful. There are activities for young and old and everyone in between. The showers are clean and spacious. They have campsites to meet everyone's desires. Pets are welcome here with two fenced dog runs and trails to keep the owners exercised. I love this place and have made it a regular stop.
LegendSilver lake is one of the most beautiful areas you can go in all of Michigan. With dunes of it's own, & a perfect, calm crystal lake - it's great for swimming, kayaking and photography. Holiday Park campground was on the south shore of the lake, had a swim area, boat launch, and was immaculate. Pets were allowed and sites were very level for trailers. All sites had electric hook ups and they are sectioned out by environment, like woods, lakeside, up on the ridge line, and there's even island sites. I prefer the lake and island sites if you can get them. There's something about waking up to that lake that is dreamy!
TravelerThis is a great little camp ground right on Lake Michigan. Pretty open so not a ton of privacy but a nice set up to meet new friends. The campground sits above the lake so be ready to trek up and and down a large set of stairs but the beach and views are worth it! Water, outhouses, ice and firewood available. No showers. Pet and family friendly.

Beach access: 20 minutes away: Hoffmaster State Park Campground features over three miles of Lake Michigan shoreline with sugar-like sand. "The campground beach, only a 5-10 minute walk from any site, was awesome! While there wasn't a lifeguard, I appreciated the 'flag system' advising how safe the water is each day," notes Shelly B.
Hiking trails: 10+ miles available: The wooded areas surrounding Coopersville campgrounds offer extensive trail networks. "My favorite part of this campground was the trails. In addition to several trails within the campground, many more can be accessed in the state park, which contains over ten miles of trails in its 1,200 acres," shares a Hoffmaster visitor.
Dog-friendly water access: Steamboat Park Campground provides riverside locations ideal for cooling off pets. "This campground is out of the way right on the river. Great place to fish. The pool sits looking right over the river," mentions Courtney A. The level sites make for comfortable walks with pets of all sizes.
Winter activities for adventurous campers: The Lake Michigan Campground at Muskegon State Park offers year-round camping with winter sports. "Across the road is the Winter complex, sledding, skating, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, and luge course. Our kids had a blast here, they have tons of bonfire pits as well," shares Melissa M.
Spacious wooded sites: Chapel in the Pines Campground offers tree-lined camping areas where pine needles create soft walking surfaces. "Such friendly staff with a very strong sense of community among the campground. Lots of seasonals but they are so welcoming and kind to campers. Very clean swimming area, good fishing, clean bathrooms and showers!" writes Nicole C.
River views and wildlife watching: The Grand River provides scenic backdrops at several dog-friendly campgrounds near Coopersville. "This campground is a hidden treasure located off the beaten path, tucked away along the Grand River. It's worth the view," reports Julie K. about Conestoga Grand River Campground.
Kid-friendly amenities: Family activities abound at Dutch Treat Camping & Recreation. "Kids had a blast fishing, swimming in the pool, playing in the gagaball pit. Clean bathhouse. Full hook ups and rustic camping available. Campsites are easy to get into with plenty of room to get situated," reports Jamie M.
Seasonal events: Several campgrounds host Halloween weekends in October. A ranger at Hoffmaster State Park noted "a great time to visit would be the weekend before Halloween as they encourage people to decorate their sites, wear costumes, and participate in trick or treating on Saturday night."
Alcohol policies vary by location: Not all campgrounds permit alcohol consumption. "No alcoholic beverages between April 15 and Labor Day," notes a visitor to Hoffmaster State Park, while others like Grand Haven State Park Campground have different rules. "Quite time is 11 pm so great for couples to make a late night romantic stroll down the pier or beach," mentions Sallie M.
Site layout considerations: Some campgrounds feature non-traditional layouts. "Grand Haven is a tourist destination. The State Park is not at all roughing it but makes up for that in views of sunset and beach front camp sites. Bring your own fire pit if you need a fire," advises Ryan B.
Reservation timing critical: Most pet-friendly campgrounds near Coopersville require advance booking. "I talked to a ranger about coming back later this year, and he told me it is best to book months ahead for weekends because they fill up at the beginning of summer," reports a visitor at Hoffmaster.
Early check-in fees may apply: Some locations charge for arriving before scheduled time. "Make sure you do not arrive before 2:00PM, as they require a $10 early registration fee. If you decide not to pay, you'll be directed to overflow parking where you can loiter until 2:00," warns Dan K. about Allendale-West Grand Rapids KOA.
Playground amenities: Look for sites near play areas. "Great play area for kids," notes Sara G. about Hoffmaster State Park, while another visitor mentioned the "Large grassy field for kids" that provides ample space for activities.
Swimming options beyond Lake Michigan: Beach Campground — Holland State Park offers alternatives when lake conditions aren't ideal. "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," explains Nancy W.
Educational opportunities: Nature centers offer programs for children. "Gillette Visitor Center in the State Park area about 1/4 mile away offers Explorer and interpretive programs Tuesday through Saturday, with topics ranging from nature history/preservation to information on wildlife. We enjoyed the spider and bear presentations most," shares a Hoffmaster visitor.
Proximity to attractions: "We stayed Sunday, and Monday night of Labor Day weekend for the second time this year. This place is clean! 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," advises Whitney A.
Dump station timing: Plan departure carefully to avoid lines. "I did notice the backup of campers at the two campground dump stations Sunday before 1pm checkout," observed a camper at Hoffmaster State Park.
Level sites availability: Most dog-friendly campgrounds near Coopersville feature level spots. "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," reports Kyle K. about Muskegon State Park.
Extension cords may be needed: Check utility locations before setup. "Utilities are at the very back of the site so you may need an extension for your sewer hose," advises a camper about Grand Haven State Park.
Fire pit regulations: Fire restrictions vary between locations. "There are no fire pits at individual sites but community ones are located near the beach and you are permitted to use your own fire pit if you have one," notes a visitor to Grand Haven State Park.
