    Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

    Our Favorite

    We camp here every year with our family since it is perfectly halfway between us, in Michigan, and my family in Chicago. The kids love the activities and the pool and my family who are not necessarily "outdoorsy" love that they can sleep in an air conditioned cabin with cable! This is an amazing campground!

    Shamrock Park

    Hidden Gem

    The ranger was awesome. You can buy firewood and ice on site. There’s WiFi, electricity, showers and bathrooms. The campground is right on the water-perfect for kayaking or fishing. There’s also all sorts of activities for kids-ping pong, basketball, cornhole and more. It’s also a quick walk to a grocery store and restaurants. There’s no grill on the fire pit, so plan accordingly.

    Kal-Haven Outpost

    Great place to bike to, spacious cabins, amazing staff

    A group of us bike from Kalamazoo to South Haven every year using the Kal-Haven trail. We usually tent camp but tried a cabin here this year. It was the perfect option as the campground is right off the trail. They provide linens and have basic supplies (including firewood that they will deliver to your cabin) right at the general store. We also met a group that had hiked in to the primative sites and were using the trail to train for the Appalachian Trail. Everything is well-made and maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful (they even let us check-in early when we biked in ahead of schedule). Highly recommend for those looking for a place close to the trail and to South Haven. The cabins have three queen beds and a sofa sleeper so they can comfortably hold up to eight people (we had five in our group and I never felt crowded). There's a large table inside and two chairs on the porch. There's also a large picnic table outside, a fire pit, and a grill. They are hoping to expand and add cabins sized for couples in the near future.

    Muskegon County Pioneer County Park

    Beautiful and relaxing

    This campground is our home away from home in the summer! It is beautiful & very relaxing especially during the weekdays when it's not as full. The bathrooms are clean & the rangers keep up with mowing & other chores to keep the grounds clean. When it gets crowded the wifi doesn't work great & some of the campers are not very respectful; they cut through lots & don't abide by the rules (no pets on beach & no bikes or skateboards on boardwalk). The rangers get after them when they see it. Gets frustrating because it ruins it for others who care about the park. The only other downfall is there isn't much beach because of the high water table. I wish they could dredge & bring in more sand. Otherwise it's our favorite place to be!

    South Channel Campground

    Love it!

    Stayed here with our camper over the weekend, we loved it! We stayed on the channel side, and was right next to the pathway to walk to the channel. It’s very well maintained, fire pit rings, bath house, electric hookups, dump station, paved spots. It was close to The beach to Lake Michigan and the beautiful sand dunes right on the beach. We brought our dogs and stayed for two nights, it was a great place to start our camping season.

    Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

    Our first KOA

    We weren’t sure what to expect given this was our first visit. But overall it was a good experience. Delivery service of food and firewood was great. Trash pickup was appreciated. WiFi reception was a welcomed surprise. Showers and bathrooms were clean. If you go, be sure to reserve one of the sites with the paved patio, pad and provided grill. Very nice. Most importantly, it was very quiet after 9pm when everything closed.

    Downside - sites are a little cramped and the pool was very crowded.

    Lake Michigan Campground at Muskegon State Park Campground

    Smitten by the Mitten it

    Very generous camp sites, welcoming staff, wooded sites with tall maple tree canopies...down a decked stair case onto the white Sandy beaches of lake Michigan..the adjacent beach is expensive and has the feel of your own private beach.

Guide to Fennville

Glamping sites close to Fennville, Michigan provide rustic accommodations within minutes of Lake Michigan's eastern shore. The area sits amid Michigan's fruit belt, with elevations between 600-700 feet above sea level in gently rolling terrain. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-85°F during peak camping season, with high humidity common from June through August.

What to do

Kayaking on local waterways: WaterTrail Ventures Paddle Respite offers river access and camping opportunities along the Kalamazoo River system. "We kayaked there from Allegan and was treated to more wildlife viewing opportunities than we could ask for," notes Jeremy K. The campsite is "close to the river but set back far enough so that during a downpour you won't be worrying."

Fishing at Hidden Ridge: The resort maintains a stocked catch-and-release pond for campers. "There is a pond for cat and release fishing, and a great slip and slide for the kids on a hot day," writes Greg N. The facilities are well-maintained for family fishing activities without leaving the campground.

Beach time at Covert Park: Located directly on Lake Michigan, Covert Park Beach & Campground provides immediate shoreline access. "Sunset views were beautiful. Bathrooms were very clean and showers nice and hot," says Jessica D. The beach access involves either a staircase with multiple steps or a flat path with approximately 10 steps at the end.

Biking the Kal-Haven Trail: Black River Trails Campground offers proximity to regional biking routes. "This was a great little campground near South Haven, MI," reports Phil M., noting its convenient location as "a perfect location to camp at night then drive to South Haven Beach (maybe 10 min drive if that)."

What campers like

Clean shower facilities: Kal-Haven Outpost receives consistent praise for their bathhouse. "The nicest bathrooms and showers I have ever seen at a campground," writes upperhunt8@gmail.com. Another camper describes them as "super clean and updated bathrooms" with convenient access from all sites.

Spacious tent sites: Many campers appreciate the generous sizing of tent camping areas. "The tent camping (where we stayed) had the largest campsite I've ever camped on for tents," notes a Kal-Haven Outpost reviewer. Options range from "no shade, some shade, or deep woods" depending on preference.

Proximity to Lake Michigan: Covert Park Beach & Campground provides direct lake access. "Lake Michigan is right there! We walked down to sunset and it was a 5 min walk max," explains Melissa M. The beach access includes two separate paths—one with stairs and another with a flatter approach.

Prepared camping amenities: WaterTrail Ventures Paddle Respite offers convenience for those seeking a glamping-style experience. "It had air mattresses made up with sheets and blankets, all the firewood provided, a grill full of charcoal. A great way to enjoy the outdoors!!!" reports Karlina L.

What you should know

Limited cell service: Some campgrounds around Fennville have spotty connectivity. A camper at Covert Park noted: "Be prepared for zero cell service unless you go up the road!" This affects most carriers throughout the rural areas between South Haven and Fennville.

Bathroom conditions vary: At Hidden Ridge RV Resort, "All facilities were very clean," according to Julie T. However, other campgrounds receive mixed reviews, with Black River Trails getting feedback that "Bathrooms and showers were rustic, needed more cleaning."

Reservation timing: Peak season fills quickly at most glamping sites. For Covert/South Haven KOA, reservations often book 2-3 months in advance for summer weekends. Their operational season runs "Apr 17 to Oct 18" according to their listing.

Trash disposal policies: Hidden Ridge has centralized trash collection rather than site pickup. "I found it odd the there isn't trash pickup at the site. And the only trash bin we could find was at the entrance of the grounds," notes Beth H., mentioning this as unusual for resorts of this caliber.

Tips for camping with families

Water activities for kids: Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday features multiple water-based amenities. "Heated pool and lots of activities for kids," reports Amy J. The KOA also offers seasonal programming specifically designed for children of different age groups.

Recreational variety: Hidden Ridge RV Resort provides numerous options for families. A camper describes: "Pool, splash pad, arcade, bounce pad, playground, outdoor sports area, hayrides, crafts, store, pond for fishing, golf cart rental." These activities run throughout the camping season.

Quieter midweek stays: For families seeking less crowded experiences, timing matters. Jessica D. observed at Covert Park: "We stayed Sunday to Saturday, so we got to see it at its bustling weekend peak and the quiet, cozy weekday vibe." Weekdays typically see 30-40% fewer campers across most sites near Fennville.

Blueberry picking opportunities: The South Haven KOA offers unique agricultural experiences. "This KOA has blueberry fields everywhere on the property. For a period of time in summer and early fall, you can pick your own blueberries in the morning to have in your breakfast pancakes!" writes Cindy B.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: At Lake Macatawa Campground, site location impacts camping experience. "Bigish shaded sites around site 98. Near relatively new bathhouse," notes Renee G., while another camper advises that "sites on the east end are larger and more comfortable" than those on the west end.

Hookup variations: Electrical service differs across campgrounds. Lake Macatawa provides "electricity only - no water or sewer in campsites," according to Georgeann D. Most sites offer 30-amp service, with select locations providing 50-amp connections at premium rates.

Campground roads: Surface conditions impact RV navigation. Cindy B. observed at Kal-Haven Outpost: "The sites and the roads in the campground are all dirt so while we were there it was exceptionally dusty. I could imagine that when they have a lot of rain, it is exceptionally muddy."

Maneuverability challenges: Some campgrounds present navigation difficulties. Jennifer S. noted about Covert Park: "There are two loops and both are tight, which made it difficult to maneuver." Larger rigs over 30 feet should confirm site accessibility when booking.
