  Indian Valley Campground & Canoe Livery

  Hidden Gem

  Beautiful property right on the river. Secluded campground with excellent amenities. Many full time residents make the place feel very homey. Super helpful staff

  Fisherman'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.

  Sandy Beach County Park

  Over all good/ family friendly.

  We have camped here many times over the years and have always enjoyed our visits. The campground has made some great investments and improvements, which are appreciated. However, the overall maintenance has unfortunately declined. It is noticeable in the condition of the shower houses, tree trimming, staining, painting, and other general upkeep. A little more attention to these details would make a big difference, especially in the restroom facilities. This is a great campground for children and families, with plenty to enjoy. One area that could use improvement is consistency in how campground rules are enforced. During our stay, we observed several occasions where some seasonal campers—and even some weekend campers—were allowed to get away with things that others were not. We personally did not have any issues, but it did seem as though certain campers were singled out while others were overlooked, even when there was no obvious reason. Overall, this is still a good place to camp, and we will likely return. With a stronger focus on maintenance and more consistent rule enforcement, it could easily become an excellent campground.

  Chinook Camping

  Great family Campground!

  Great family campground! Lots of activities: sport courts, foam parties, train rides and a heated pool. Nice Playgrounds and the River trip services were a huge highlight of our trip. We had so much fun and the river was beautiful! Our site was spacious and located right across from the arcade. We found the bathrooms to be outdated but they were overall clean. The park itself is very well maintained with freindly staff. Will definitely recommend and return.

  WaterTrail Ventures Paddle Respite

  Confirmed Reservation Ignored — Left Feeling Unwelcome and Unfairly Treated

  My family and I booked this campsite for the Fourth of July and arrived with a confirmed reservation and confirmation number. When we arrived, my husband checked us in (even though it stated it was a self check after we booked) luckily he did because he was told that the campsite was not ready yet, but that they would get it prepared for us shortly. At that time, there was no mention that our reservation was invalid, that they did not use the booking platform, or that there was any issue with our stay.

  We waited, set up our additional tents, and had already been on the property for about two hours when we were suddenly approached and accused of being there without a reservation. We provided our confirmation information and proof that we had every right to be there, but instead of honoring our reservation or trying to resolve the situation, we were told to leave immediately because another family was expected to arrive.

  We were then told they “don’t use this app” and that we had been scammed. However, if there was truly an issue with our reservation, it should have been addressed when my husband checked in…not after we had already arrived, been allowed onto the property, and started setting up.

  What was especially upsetting was that the treatment seemed to change after my husband (who is white) checked us in and then the host saw me and my family members, who are Black. The sudden change in attitude and the decision to remove us despite having a valid reservation left us feeling that our race may have influenced how we were treated.

  The campsite was not ready when we arrived, yet instead of working with us after we had already been checked in, we were made to feel unwelcome and forced to leave. Regardless of the reason, no guest should be treated this way after arriving with a confirmed reservation. This experience was extremely disappointing and left our family feeling disrespected and unheard.

  Chinook Camping

  Word of caution!

  We have enjoyed tubing and camping here for many years, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Our group of approximately 75 people arrived for a scheduled tubing trip, checked in, and paid in full. While we were waiting for the shuttle, one member of our group picked up a life jacket from the same area where we as guests have always been able to get them during our previous visits. There were no signs indicating that only staff were permitted to hand out life jackets. Without asking what happened or giving anyone an opportunity to explain, the male owner, Nick, began yelling at members of our group, including me, accusing us of theft. He ordered us off the property and announced that he had called the police. The police never arrived. The female owner, Melissa, appeared slightly embarrassed but perhaps just inconvenienced by the situation and attempted to calm him down, but was unsuccessful. She then processed refunds for our entire group on one of the busiest days of the year, which ultimately hurt their own business as much as it disrupted our plans. What was most upsetting was not the misunderstanding—it was how it was handled. A simple conversation could have resolved everything in seconds. Instead, we were publicly yelled at, falsely accused, and humiliated in front of our families, friends, other customers, and staff. A camper who was not affiliated with our group approached us afterward to say he was shocked and disgusted by what he and his small children had to witness. He felt the treatment was so inappropriate. We are not posting this out of spite. We are posting it because no paying customer deserves to be treated this way, especially loyal customers who have supported this business for years, with receipts to prove it. We sincerely hope the owners, Melissa and Nick, acknowledge what happened, accept responsibility, and issue a genuine apology. Everyone can have a bad day, but business owners should treat customers with respect and professionalism. I am open and ready to have a respectful conversation. Until that happens, I cannot recommend this business. UPDATE: Shout out to Wisner Canoes for not only saving the day but delivering top notch customer service! I paid$57 for my family’s tubes at Wisner compared to$75 at Chinook so we actually ended up saving money. BONUS: You get to actually, physically grab and try on life jackets yourself at Wisner with NO false accusations of theft! Wisner Canoes 25 E Water St, Newaygo, MI 49337 231-652-6743

  Newaygo State Park Campground

  Newago Rustic Campground

  If you’re looking to rustic camp this probably isn’t the site for you. I booked 4 nights here and I had to leave after the first night. The campground itself seems nice from what I can see. It’s just way too crowded. The noise level is insane, even well into the night so you can’t sleep. Came here to solo camp to get away from the world and this was not it. I will say though if you’re here to camp with kids then it would probably be great!

  Fort Custer Recreation Area

  Family campground

  Large campground, many nice paved sites, about half 50 amp, no rustic sites. Most all sites are pretty secluded with growth between them. Bring your mosquito spray!
