TravelerVery nice people, Lake Huron is just a few steps away. Very clean bathrooms, Beautiful park, we ordered Jets pizza and they delivered it to our site, no wifi but thats okay with me
GuideAs usual, there's only electric at sites, but the pedestals seem fairly new, and tight. South loop is nicely wooded & has a newer, larger restroom/shower building, not much lake view. The north loop is a little less wooded, with the NW end having a little better lake views, but a pretty ancient restroom/shower facility.
Across the lake is the day use area with a beach and concession stand. (There's a small camp store in the north loop.)
ADA Only sites are asphalt paved. Some of the regular sites could be a challenge to get level on, but the rangers told me they have wood blocks for loan if you don't have enough.
Our first night & a half, we had some terrible neighbors two sites over. Constant profanities, yelling at & threatening their kids... real dirtbags. Rangers booted them from the park! Good to see them taking such positive action. I have not run into a single staff member here that wasn't pleasant.
This was our first time here. A test run, since it's only an hour from home (but feels farther). We'll be back for sure. (Especially with gas prices so high anymore.)
T-Mobile was only slow LTE at our site, but our Starlink worked perfectly at our site. Might be harder to get a clear shot in the more wooded areas of the park.
ScoutMy husband and I actually took our first camping trip in our new camper to this location, but we are novice when it comes to campgrounds. It was nice because there was always an attendant at the office to help. They gave clear and concise directions. The grounds were impeccable. Everything looked fantastic. We have even considered being seasonal here because it is so beautiful.
TravelerPretty with trees, although you do have very open views if you like more growth... weekend activities... family park, you need to be able to walk a ways to enjoy all their games, activities and beach...
ScoutHusband and wife owners that are extremely rude Husband has the attitude of I own this here water wife is the mother of all Karen's. You usually pay to swim here but they ruined that and took that away cause they own that there water merica can't wait for the new owners!!!
TravelerWe booked this spot and stayed for 4 nights. Large and spacious. Our spot backed up on a hill and the electric hookup was at the back of the spot as opposed to the side like most other campgrounds. You will either need a longer electrical cord or if you can back your RV up far enough to reach you will need something to put under your steps to make them touch the ground. By no means a negative thing, just make sure you are prepared!
ScoutGary is one of the nicest people…campground very clean nice and quiet just a hop and a skip to the downtown area
GuideClean and well maintained, but no early check-ins before 3pm and no drones.
The beach is minimal and on the other side of a major road.

Camping sites near Mayfield, Michigan range from rustic lakeside retreats to modern facilities with full hookups. Located within the southeastern Michigan region, campgrounds often experience warm summers with average July temperatures around 82°F and cooler springs and falls that make camping weather variable. Most campgrounds in this area sit at elevations between 900-1,100 feet above sea level, creating gently rolling terrain with scattered lakes and woodlands.
Water activities on Holloway Reservoir: At Wolverine Campground, visitors enjoy swimming and boating on the reservoir. "The water isn't very deep but great place to go for water sports," notes Crystal G. The lake is particularly known for fishing, with one camper mentioning it's "supposed to be great for walleye fishing, even if it a tad shallow."
Hiking trails: The trail system at McGinnis Lake Modern Campground offers varied terrain for day hikes. "Pretty park with several well marked trails," shares Jennifer H. Sites in the Maple loop provide good access to these paths, making it convenient for morning walks.
Seasonal activities: Winter sports opportunities exist at some year-round facilities. Outdoor Adventures Lake Shore Resort operates throughout the year with "great opportunities for winter sports," according to one visitor who noted the park's diverse recreational calendar beyond summer camping.
Lakefront campsites: The New Kingslanding Kampground offers sites with lake views. "The lake is a spring fed lake with fishing and no gas engines. It's the best swimming in the area!" reports Jessie C. The prohibition on gas-powered boats creates a quieter experience for paddlers and swimmers.
Wooded privacy: Many campers appreciate secluded sites among trees. "Actually feels like camping with all the trees, not lined up in a farmer's field," writes Zachary S. about his experience at McGinnis Lake Modern Campground. Sites in the Trillium loop receive particular praise for their natural setting.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses matter to many campers. One visitor to Wolverine Campground noted, "Campground is well maintained with picnic tables, and fire rings." Others mention clean restrooms and hot showers as factors in their positive ratings, though some campgrounds charge a nominal fee for shower use.
Campsite spacing varies significantly: Some campgrounds offer more privacy than others. At Addison Oaks County Park, campers appreciate that "spot #18 I felt was spacious and not too close to the people next to us and trees behind us," as Karen C. reports. However, at other parks like Outdoor Adventures Lake Shore Resort, visitors note "most sites are very cramped and right up against your neighbors."
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially during summer weekends. Holiday periods fill quickly, with one camper noting about Wolverine Campground: "On holiday weekends it is heavily used, so you may want to call ahead before you go."
Seasonal operation: Operating dates vary by location. Water Tower Travel Trailer Park runs "May to October," while others like Otter Lake Park Campground operate from "April 15 to October 15." Year-round exceptions include McGinnis Lake Modern Campground and Outdoor Adventures Lake Shore Resort.

Lots of socially distanced activities for the kids and a scavenger hunt (finding clues on signs in park to solve a mystery)."
Hookup locations: At certain campgrounds, power hookups may require preparation. "If you're in a camper, make sure you have an extension cord. The power is quite a ways away," advises Jennifer about Wolverine Campground. RVers should pack extra-long utility hoses and cords for these situations.
Site accessibility: Some parks have challenging access for larger units. At Covenant Hills Camp, one camper observed that sites "can be a bit hard to get into. They don't level out very well." Travelers with larger rigs should call ahead to discuss specific site dimensions and approach angles.
Full hookup options: Several campgrounds offer complete utility connections. "We liked having full hook ups," notes Tammy K. about her stay at Groveland Oaks County Park, though she pointed out there weren't "many trees" in those sections.
