"Green spaces on both sides of site 290. A bit more room compared to the other inner loop sites. The outer loop sites have a bit more space. No ground foliage so you can see your neighbors clearly!"

Ivan’s Campground
Hidden Gem in Baldwin Michigan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stayed at Ivan’s Campground& Cabins in Baldwin over Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful experience. We were in Site 5 with 30-amp electric and water. The site was spacious, level, easy to get into, and had plenty of shade. The entire campground was very clean, quiet, and quaint. The bathrooms and showers were especially clean and well maintained. The campground also has a camp store, firewood available, picnic tables, and other conveniences that make your stay comfortable. What really stood out to us, though, were the owners, Melissa and CD Taylor. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming and were very present around the campground. We regularly saw them taking care of the property, picking things up, and making sure everything was in good shape. They were always willing to lend a hand or answer a question. They were also happy to share information about local fishing spots, ORV trails, and other things to do in the Baldwin area. The atmosphere is peaceful, laid-back, family-friendly, and very welcoming. If you're looking for a quiet campground where you can relax and where the owners genuinely care about their guests and their property, this is a great place to stay. We enjoyed our stay so much that we're already planning our next trip back! Highly recommend Ivan’s Campground& Cabins.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Grand Haven RV Resort & Campground
Clean with lots of activities for kid.
The grounds and facilities were very clean. There were many families with kids and a lot of activities for them. Spaces were reasonable but this is a large park. Be careful some site are very close to a major road. Our spot had water and electric very far apart and I had to choose…this was an anomoly.

Top fav
After eyeballing this campground all year and waiting for a cancellation, we finally got to visit.
Yes, it was the most densely packed campground we’ve ever been to. I have never seen this many cars at a campground before. But somehow, despite the sold out weekend, it just didn’t feel that crowded. Neighbors were kind, kids were running all over the place, and it just felt like a big community. It gave us that 90s summer vibe where kids roamed around and you just walked over and spoke to a neighbor.
Quiet times are pretty adhered to. Most sites were lights out by 10pm.
The walk to the beach is really manageable even with folding chairs and a cooler. And despite it being sandy, bring a bicycle if you want to! There was a review that said leave the bikes behind and our kids were sorely disappointed when we discovered 85% of the path to the beach was paved.
Shower house was the second cleanest facility we’ve ever experienced! For how busy it was, it the crew did a really fantastic job. Camp hosts also had activities and coffee hour which was a huge hit.
We’ve already decided that we would come back here again. Our kids absolutely loved it.
Nikki S.ScoutFisherman's Landing & Campground
Very nice, affordable campground
Super cute little campground, it’s definitely located in an odd spot but nonetheless it’s a nice campground. The staff are very kind, and the lake view is beautiful. Also located very close to drop off points for kayaking down Muskegon river, which btw is also a beautiful river trip! I would definitely stay here again. The only thing I wish was a little different was that they would add a dog run, and clean up what used to be a beach area.

Sand Dunes & Rolling Lake Waves
Framed by dunes on the western side of the campground and shaded pines in every direction, the campground here at Muskegon State Park feels like it was built for families who crave both forest calm and water views. The 140 sites are generous, spacious and peaceful, and while the bathhouses have a little age to them, they’re spotless and well-tended. Our boys spent half the trip barefoot on the sandy trail leading to the channel, where they splashed in the shallows and waved at passing fishing boats. I’d recommend Muskegon State Park at Lake Michigan campground for families who love the scent of pine mixed with lake breeze, the sound of kids laughing down the trail and the EZ comfort of a well-loved state park that has a manned ranger booth when checking in adding to overall sense of security.

Cabin camping near Kent City, Michigan provides year-round accommodation options in the western Michigan region approximately 20 miles north of Grand Rapids. Situated near the Rogue River watershed and surrounded by mixed hardwood forests, this area experiences cold winters with lake effect snow and warm summers with high humidity. Most cabin rentals in this region require a 2-night minimum stay during peak summer months.
What to do
Winter recreation access: Hoffmaster State Park Campground offers year-round cabin options with easy access to winter activities. "Children's play area with equipment and activity field, where several kites were hoisted high into the air, were great. Gillette Visitor Center in the State Park area about 1/4 mile away offers Explorer and interpretive programs Tuesday through Saturday," reports Shelly B.
Fishing opportunities: Cabin rentals near Little Switzerland Resort and Campground provide access to multiple connected lakes for fishing. "Beautiful chain of four lakes with decent fishing. Permanent sites available. Golf carts are helpful to go to the beach down the hill and across the street," notes Jen W.
Water activities: Many cabin sites offer direct access to swimming areas, especially during warmer months. At Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho, "The lake was extremely clean and the beach was fantastic. Clear water, clean sand and a floating jumping trampoline for the kids. We were given passes for a free boat pass... They had kayaks, row boats, paddle boats," shares Marc W.
What campers like
Cabin accessibility: Most cabins are designed for easy access regardless of camping experience. "Stayed in Mini Cabin #16 over New Years. Cabin sleeps 4 in 2 bunk beds. Mini frig, microwave and table with chairs. Electricity and heat. Great choice for winter camping," reports Kathie M. about Muskegon State Park Campground.
Private waterfront sites: Some cabin locations offer direct water access from the site itself. At Salmon Run Campground, "If booked in advance there are some great walk-in sites where you can cast a line right from your picnic table. Clean, quiet campground," notes Jen W.
Family-friendly amenities: Cabin camping areas typically include recreational facilities for families. "The campground was great, and clean. The park was nice and so we're all the kid activities! The pool is very nice and the store is stocked nicely," shares Nicole C. about Duke Creek Campground.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Most cabin sites require advance booking, especially for weekend stays. "I talked to a ranger about coming back later this year, and he told me it is best to book months ahead for weekends because they fill up at the beginning of summer; however, cancellations are not uncommon," advises Shelly B.
Alcohol policies: Regulations vary by location with some prohibiting alcohol. "Great family campground - Paired with the area offers many options! No alcoholic beverages between April 15 and Labor Day," notes Shelly B. at Hoffmaster State Park.
Shower facilities: Quality and availability of hot water varies significantly between locations. At Little Switzerland Resort, one camper reported: "They were clean, let me put that out there, what they lacked was hot water in the showers or sinks. Added to that they have very old school 5-second pop back up knobs to engage the water."
Tips for camping with families
Educational programs: Ed H. Henning Park offers cabin access near educational nature opportunities. "This is a great place to camp. Clean bathrooms, camp sites, and friendly staff. Easy access to the Muskegon River and close to downtown Newago," reports Mark K.
Swimming options: Many cabin sites include swimming areas designed specifically for children. "Nice playground with private very clean beach. Jumping water trampoline for the kids. This water was so clear you can see to the bottom and the kids had a blast trying to catch the little fish," Amy K. shares about Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho.
Seasonal activities: Some locations offer special seasonal events for families. At Hoffmaster State Park, one ranger mentioned that "a great time to visit would be the weekend before Halloween as they encourage people to decorate their sites, wear costumes, and participate in trick or treating on Saturday night."
Tips from RVers
Dump station timing: For cabin campers using RV sites, be aware of peak dump station times. "While we don't have a big rig, I did notice the backup of campers at the two campground dump stations Sunday before 1pm checkout," notes Shelly B. at Hoffmaster State Park.
Site privacy levels: Cabin and RV sites vary greatly in terms of privacy between locations. At Wabasis Lake County Park, "The sites were large enough that it could hold a large camper and two vehicles easily. Some of the sites are a little uneven (the camper needed wood blocks underneath it so that the wheels weren't off the ground after leveling)," shares Bill R.
Road noise considerations: Some cabin locations experience traffic noise that might affect light sleepers. Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho campers note that "the sites that run along US 31 can get quite noisy," while another camper mentioned Muskegon State Park has "road being so close for road noise."
