464 Reviews

The Greenville, Michigan area encompasses a variety of camping experiences centered around lakes and wooded settings. Wabasis Lake County Park offers a blend of tent, RV, and cabin accommodations with full hookups and modern amenities, operating from late April through early November. Three Seasons Campground provides family-oriented facilities with swimming pools, mini-golf, and kayak rentals, making it popular for seasonal campers. Within a 30-minute drive, Ionia State Recreation Area and Bertha Brock County Park feature more rustic options with varying levels of amenities. Most campgrounds in the region are situated on or near lakes, providing water recreation opportunities.

Camping availability follows a typical Michigan seasonal pattern, with most facilities operating from May through September or October. 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.

Water recreation forms the centerpiece of camping experiences in the region. Fishing opportunities abound in the numerous lakes, with boat launches available at several campgrounds. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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

    Benton Lake Campground

    Benton Lake fun

    We have had a great experience at Benton Lake. Some great birding in our kayaks on the lake. A couple miles west we hiked the NCT a couple miles O&B. Beautiful woods. Clean sites, great bathrooms. Mike the caretaker is a real worker and is maintaining the place beautifully. Sites are spacious and generous. Easy to pull in to and pretty quiet place. Enjoy!

    Highway to Haven Family Campground

    Go somewhere you camp and deal with Peter about his thousands of Rules

    The owner Peter is getting good reviews by having retired people who don’t come out of their camper give good reviews.

    Hes very up tight and is not afraid to scream the F word at you if feels you are wrong. 

    Don’t go. Find somewhere you can camp ..and can  go 6 mph without being chased down by him screaming and whistling

    Snow Lake Kampground

    There are to many rules to keep up with.

    This campground used to be great. I don't know what happened I believe they have so many seasonal that they have become the bread and butter. Don't seem to care bout weekender. Every time you turn around there's another rule and/ or fee. It has gotten to the point we no longer enjoy the place. We will never come back! I understand having rules but this is ridiculous. They advertise all these amenities but ya got to pay for it all as well as the site rental. They have gone downhill in customer service. The office staff is very rude as well as the campground seasonal that patrol and watch your every move.
