As one camper noted about Three Seasons Campground, "It is close to Greenville if there are any shopping or dining needs. Fun campground and my family had a good time relaxing and the kids loved the pool." Reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and holidays when lakefront sites fill quickly. Many campgrounds sell firewood on-site, though prices may be higher than at local stores. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though some more remote locations may have limited coverage. Bug spray is essential during summer months, particularly in wooded or lakeside areas.

Campers frequently mention the family-friendly atmosphere at most locations, with planned activities for children at some of the more developed sites. Site spacing varies considerably between campgrounds, with some offering more privacy than others. One visitor to Ionia Recreation Area highlighted the "disc golf course, mountain bike trail, equestrian trails, hiking trails, a beautiful no-wake lake perfect for swimming, kayaking, or fishing." Bathroom facilities range from modern shower houses at developed campgrounds to vault toilets at more rustic locations. Proximity to town amenities makes the area suitable for campers seeking convenience while still enjoying natural surroundings.
