    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.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp Resort-South Haven, MI

    This is my top pick for South Haven

    Although this campground has great amenities, a pool, clean showers, and good sites/cabins, it is hard to book. If you know you are going to come to this area and camp, you need to book it a while in advance. I have used a pop-up and there was good space between campers. When I tent camped, we had a great spot near the cafe, the showers are amazing over there, they are more secluded. Our tent spot had electric, water, picnic table and fire ring. We camped on the grass and there is gravel to park your car. This campground is a perfect place to stay when visiting surrounding towns and going to the beach.

    Don’t forget to go to Sherman’s!!

    There was a forecast or rain, don’t mind the tarp

    Twin Mills Camping Resort

    Beautiful Wooded Campground

    Twin Mills is a really beautiful and quiet RV Campground, with tall trees in Northern Indiana. We frequent this location when getting RV Repairs and visiting Elkhart, the birth place of most RVs.

    There are cabins and tent sites and a large lake access point with a beach area. The playgrounds seemed to be in good shape and the dumpsters were centrally located.

    The park has a gate entrance for security.

    There is a large pool area and basketball court.

    There are several sections in the park, some more wooded and narrow sites, some are more spread out.

    Cellular: T-Mobile had good signal strength and bandwidth, AT&T was not as good but still doable.

    Most of the sites are full hook up, some have 30amp and some have 50amp.

    Amenities: Pool Clubhouse Basketball Volleyball Picnic tables Fire rings Trash Playground Lake access Beach area Dock Cabins Tent sites

    Cold Brook County Park

    Nice little county park!

    29 campsites pretty close together with old growth trees interspersed around the campground. Fishing pier and boating, playground area, and beach. No longer has primitive camping. Some hiking trails...short. is next to a busy road, so traffic all night. Staff was great! Showers and bathrooms cleaned multiple times a day. Pet friendly. Would stay here again!

    Oak Grove Resort & Campground

    Great RV Resort close to Lake Michigan

    Clean family friendly RV Resort. Pool, hot tub, modern restrooms and showers, playground, laundry and bike rentals. I believe all the sites are full hookup, cable t.v. and wi/fi. Less than a mile to Lake Michigan and close to boat launch and Lake Macatawa.

    East Lake Camping

    Great Hospitality

    Nice and cozy little campground in the middle of beautiful rolling farmlands. First time passing through and found it conveniently located within 40 mins of Holland and Saugatuck without needing to get on the highway. The woman at check in was extremely courteous and helpful. We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. Most people here are seasonal, occupying almost all the lakefront sites. We may have seen one lakefront available for renters. Everyone was polite, friendly and quiet after quiet hours. The sites are very small, not much privacy, but well kept. There are more spacious sites available on the upper grassy loop. Well kept grounds throughout with beautiful flowers. The bathrooms were wonderful with great hot water and water pressure. Pretty lake with swimming beach and playground lovely for day use. We would stay again. We stayed with 34’ camper inner lakefront.  I did share a picture of waterfront sites, the one vacant spot is the only site available to rent right now.  The rest are seasonal.

    Tyler Creek

    Give them at least a weekend!

    Campground is small but got to know owners just recently purchased last year and are on the uphill of making this a great little place. Great customer service and friendly faces. Other families we met at the pool were super friendly and inviting like we had been coming here for years. Bathrooms, crafts shed and such are a little run down but again optimistic that this new family will do great things. Weekend golf cart rentals for 90 bucks which is a steal! Also the clubhouse for the golf course has a little common area with games and tv plus the bar makes great and cheap drinks which is a fun things for the adults to do! Great little family park, quiet and small but worth at least a weekend!

    Black River Trails Campground

    Very nice, modern campground with new owners!

    This was a great little campground near South Haven, MI. We stayed in a small "RV Site" spot on the campground and that gave us our own electrical/water hookup. Each site comes with a picnic table, fire pit, and ample enough space. We weren't "on top" of the people next to us. 

    We wanted to camp, and be close to the local beaches and this was a perfect location to camp at night then drive to South Haven Beach (maybe 10 min drive if that). They offered showers, bathrooms and even had kayak/canoe trips if we had stayed there during the day.

    The owners checked up on us and told us all about the local brewery and winery spots and offered us tons of info on the area. They're new owners, very friendly and eager to turn this into a successful campground! I'd highly recommend giving this place a try.


Guide to Hickory Corners

Cabin accommodations near Hickory Corners, Michigan typically operate from April through October, with some exceptions like Indian Valley Campground which remains open year-round. The area features glacial lakes and hardwood forests characteristic of southwest Michigan's inland lake region. Overnight temperatures can drop significantly even in summer, making cabins an attractive alternative to tent camping.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Multiple cabin campgrounds offer access to well-stocked fishing areas. At TriPonds Family Camp Resort, "There were 2 ponds for fishing. They had a bass fishing tournament Saturday and the winner won a free ice cream, which my son loved." The ponds are catch-and-release only for bass fishing.

Trail exploration: Several cabin sites connect directly to trail systems. At Fort Custer Recreation Area, "We were right across from an access trail to the blue hiking trail. The blue trail goes around a couple lakes and was wonderful." The multi-use trail network includes dedicated paths for mountain bikers and equestrians.

Water recreation: Many campgrounds feature swimming beaches and boat rentals. Welcome Woods Family Campground offers lake access with "a dock you can rent space and keep your boat in the lake. Great fishing." Several cabin sites provide direct water access for those staying overnight.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Cabin sites vary significantly in terms of privacy. At Fort Custer, "Site 51 is extremely secluded! We had an amazing time tent camping it was so quiet!" Conversely, some cabin areas have closer neighbors, so research site maps before booking.

Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds schedule themed weekends throughout the season. Hidden Ridge RV Resort offers "themed weekends filled with activities for both adults and children" with special events like "Christmas in July decorations have been a lot of fun."

Evening ambiance: Several cabin areas maintain minimal lighting for stargazing. One visitor to Cold Brook County Park noted, "I loved the lack of lights in the park at night making for a beautiful night sky." This creates optimal conditions for astronomy enthusiasts.

What you should know

Bathroom access: The distance to bathroom facilities varies widely between cabin sites. At Welcome Woods Family Campground, "The bathroom and showers are a pretty far walk so plan on driving or riding bikes. They do have outhouses closer to the sites, which were clean and did not smell."

Delivery services: Several campgrounds offer on-site delivery of essentials. Hidden Ridge provides "Cinnamon Roll delivery to your campsite" on Sunday mornings, while others deliver firewood directly to cabin sites upon request.

Wi-Fi connectivity: Cell service and Wi-Fi availability vary significantly. Most cabin sites have adequate cell service but limited or no Wi-Fi. One camper reported, "My personal wifi off of my phone connected well" at a campground near Hickory Corners.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Camp Michawana has extensive children's activities. "They have a lake/beach for swimming, kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes to use at the lake. They also have a massive slip 'n slide, zip lining, and a rock climbing wall." Many of these activities are included with your cabin stay.

Bike-friendly roads: Several campgrounds feature paved pathways ideal for children learning to ride. One visitor noted, "The roads around the campground are paved and great for bike riding, skateboarding, scooters, or just taking a walk."

Off-site attractions: The area offers family-oriented activities beyond the campgrounds. "Close to the Boulder Ridge Zoo" mentions one camper, providing an alternative activity during longer cabin stays.

Tips from RVers

Dump station timing: For cabins without private bathrooms or when transitioning from an RV to a cabin, plan dump station visits strategically. At Fort Custer, "Since there are no water or sewer hook ups, lines at the dump/fill station can get long." Morning departure times typically see the longest waits.

Storage considerations: Cabin storage space is limited compared to RVs. "Each cabin had a living room, two bedrooms, kitchen work counter, dining table, microwave, and a small fridge," notes one reviewer, suggesting minimal packing for shorter stays.

Seasonal bookings: Many RV travelers recommend securing cabin reservations during shoulder seasons. "The campground was almost to capacity, but still some open sites" during early fall visits, while summer weekends typically require bookings 3-4 months in advance.
