Best Glamping near Holland, MI

Very typical of Michigan state parks. Tight sites with a nice fire ring. Great location with a walking path to Lake Michigan. Close to downtown Holland. Nice bathrooms and clean showers.

It's clean. It's well laid out. It's well staffed. It's near Holland, MI and Lake Michigan beaches. It has electricity only - no water or sewer in campsites. It's beautiful and piney and full of poison ivy and mosquitoes because it's in Michigan. Suck it up and enjoy the view.

This is a nice state campground with 211 sites in Holland. There is no alcohol allowed. It is hard to get into this campground so make your reservations early. The sites are $33 each or $37 for a 50 amp. Each site has it's own fire pit. There are two play areas and a volleyball court and horseshoe pit.

  We were camping at Holland State Park, which isn't that far away & decided to take a morning to see the pier & lighthouses at Grand Haven. Unfortunately, we picked the Saturday they were having the Kite Fest on the beach so the parking was CRAZY!

   I asked the guy at the gate how to get to the pier & he said "cut through the campground". I'm pretty sure there's a city park outside the state park, but like I said- crazy weekend parking. 

  My thoughts on Grand Haven State Park is the sites are VERY tight. I thought Holland was bad, but Grand Haven is much worse. 

The pro- You can get a site right on the beach. Imagine sitting & watching the sunset every night from the comfort of your site! You get a nice view of the lighthouses.

The cons- Very Tight Sites! This is also a very small state park, so it's parking lot/beach/campground & that's about it. There's only 1 bathhouse. You have to bring your own portable fire pit. No hiking trail, unless you count the walk to the pier.

This is a cool campground to come hang out at one of the most beautiful beaches in Michigan, and provides the unique experience of actually camping ON the beach, which is something you don’t get to do with 95% of the campgrounds on Michigan’s coast. Right across the Grand River a really nice nature preserve to escape for a hike, but there isn’t much in the way of hiking at this particular state park. The showers and facilities though are of the cleanest and well kept in all of Michigan’s state parks.

I have camped here many times over my lifetime. It is a great family campground, close to Lake Michigan and within driving distance to North Muskegon and Whitehall. Lovely camping in the pines within walking distance to Lake Michigan.

There are two campgrounds in the park - The Channel Campground & the Lake Michigan campground. We stayed at the Channel Campground two years ago. It's right on the channel from Muskegon Lake to Lake Michigan, so you have walking access to both lakes. The campsites were VERY close together. It was actually the first thing we noticed as soon as we pulled through the gate. Campsites have a paved parking pad, fire ring, electrical hookup, and picnic table. Restroom & shower facilities were relatively clean & well maintained. You'll probably have to wait for the showers, but that's pretty typical.

Overall, the campground was just average. If you don't like being close to your neighbors, I'd recommend staying at the Lake Michigan campground in the same park. Larger sites & tons of shade.

Quiet close to Lake Michigan and great hiking

Beautiful campground right on Lake Michigan. Clean facilities. Beach access.

This is one of the most beautiful State Parks in Michigan-if you haven't been here, please put it on your list!

Plenty of hiking and biking trails nearby, plus it's right next to Lake Michigan!

We found a gorgeous campsite at this campground with Lake Michigan just over the sand dunes. 

The campground was well maintained. Some of the campsites were sandy and unlevel. 

Here are closeby fun things to do and see:

1.) The Muskegon South Pierhead Lighthouse is located on the channel in the harbor of Muskegon, Michigan. 

2.) USS Silversides Submarine Museum with World War 2 submarines, gigantic torpedoes and more.

Looking for a place near Michigan Adventures and this has a great feel to it.

provides water & electric. Has dumping stations for sewer. Provides free showers and bathrooms. Minutes away from Lake Michigan.

Large campsites. Very quite. Family friendly. Beautiful views of Lake Michigan nice sandy beach area. Bring an extension cord. The electric boxes serve multiple sits sites.

Every year we go here with our whole family! We love the group camping area. Multiple bathrooms. Right on Lake Michigan. Great place to spend time with the family.

Close to Downtown Grand Haven and boardwalk, on sandy beach of Lake Michigan. Ideal for RV camping. $21-37/night. Cottage available too. Book in advance! End of July-early Aug this small town is packed due to Coast Guard Festival.

This was a great overall experience. We were right on the canal side and only 300ft away from Lake Michigan. Grand Haven State Parks has upgraded facilities so bathrooms and showering is actually pleasant. Loce this place and will be going back annually.

This campground is close to Lake Michigan and lake Mac . Also convent access to town by car. Not my favorite sites(where are stayed) on the west end are small. Looks like the sites on the east end are larger and more comfortable. Very nice camp hosts! Clean restrooms and showers.
