ScoutIf you're looking for a family oriented campground, look no further. From the park to play in for the kids and the heated pool, to the large fields and trails, you'll find entertainment to fill your days. Visit the wishing tree or porcupine tree. Swing on your trail adventure. The owners are delightful.
GuideThis was our overall third visit in the last 4 years to this campground. The last visit was 2 years ago and we had friends visit and do the 6hr tubing ride with us and that ultimately got them into camping and willing to spend the weekend with us at this campground.
We've always been in the "rustic" area more towards the "adult/party" side of the campground, but not to scare anyone there was NOT an over abundance of loud music, or shenanigans. Everyone was pretty calmed down by 11-12.
Some of the upgrades from years past included shelving, hooks, small benches in the public shower areas (don't have to pay for shower access) water was always warm and the showers were always clean.
The store contained anything you'd need if you forget something at home, including water shoes for tubing, firewood, ice, etc.
We did the 6hr tubing trip, left at 11am and got back to the campground around 4:30. Theres more than enough locations along the tubing trip to stop and eat off to the side. The river is very shallow at some points, id say ankle deep and deep at some points, maybe 8+ ft in spots, but most of the time it was knee deep.
The staff is great, they drive around periodically and pick up trash if you leave it in bags along the driving paths, theres a security team at all hours, etc.
Cell service isn't the best, however they do offer wifi ($20 for multiple devices/week). The wifi would go in/out at times though
Overall this is one of my favorite campsites and will return next year.
TravelerThis was our first camping trip as a family and our son choked made it a memorable one. He choked on a breadstick, threw it up and had piece stuck in his throat. The park ranger ( female, maybe 5'5 light brown hair, white. Because I cant remember her name) was amazing. She was calm, asked my son questions to help distract him and her overall kindness in her all was great. The rest of the team in there was amazing as well. Next day she stopped by to see how he was doing! I loved that. The camp ground itself it very nice, the bathrooms and showers were really clean. For sure worth the stay!
GuideStayed a few nights here. Great site right in the river. Rented tubes and floated the river down to our campsite. All of the amenities. Definitely a busy place on weekends but a little calmer through the week.
TravelerWoohoo! What a campground! I’m currently camping here attempting to stay long term. It’s a bit packed of long term-ers but there are a few openings. As far as the daily hookup sites/regular tent sites are absolutely darling. Plenty of space for whatever you need plus a vehicle! There’s a huge pond in the center of the campground with an inflatable slide that the kids absolutely love. The pond gets fairly deep which makes it perfect for all ages. Including the little beach front it has making it perfect for the lounging parents or the toddlers to play in puddles of water. I brought my own electric scooters to ride around site but the campground is walkable! The store up front has almost everything you’d need in an emergency or an “oops I forgot XYZ” situation. There is a small cafe as well on site which is awesome for a quick bite! Laundry on site has 2 washers and 2 dryers.. which I think is fair! The bathrooms/showers are clean and plentiful. Staff is fairly friendly as well. I do feel the employees need proper training based on the campground itself (like the price of propane or the ability to book sites without management assistance) which are all an easy fix for such an awesome place.
GuideLots of fisherman.water and electric only.great access to Saginaw Bay.
TravelerEasy friendly check-in. Firewood prices are cheaper than on roads in. Small and large bags of ice at a good price. Great for families. Clean facilities. They do spray for mosquitoes, so that wasn't too bad at all even in the heat of August. We stayed at 106, the description was on point, level and shaded. Campers were super friendly. We had no complaints about the campground itself but it would be nice if there was an RV lights out policy at night. It's really hard to sleep in a tent when your neighbors RV "porch" light is on literally all night shining in the tent while your neighbors are sound asleep in RV. We had to ask our neighbors politely to turn their outside LED light strips off the second night. They were great about it but, didn't seem to realize it would bother tent campers next to them.
RangerSo, this campground looks nice at first, with lots of trees on the sites. However, once you really start looking at them, none have a camping pad, so it’s random parking on the grass. Lots of moving around to get your electric hooked up to the shared and oddly placed power poles. Make sure to come with an extension cord - one member of our party had their power halfway into their neighbor’s site through a bunch of bushes. The sites near the entrance are very crowded together and filled with large loud groups. (please don’t park any extra vehicles hanging out over the road…) And cleaning the bathrooms at 8:30 and 9:30 in the MORNING? Bummer for tenters. It’s ok for a quick stop, but wouldn’t want to stay here too long. I would expect better from a State Park.
GuideWe tent camped in site #56. I will say the sites are on the smaller side, but you can make do. The lake is soooo beautiful and you can rent kayaks $7/hour or a 2 person small boat for $10/hour. Laundry facility is nice and cheap, with a great sink to wash dishes. Bathrooms are poorly vented and gets so hot & humid, but I will say the showers are in-home quality for a campground! The owners are so nice and friendly. ORV trail butts up to the campground so bring your dirt bikes! We had a small trailer and they had no issue with us at all. Very good swimming beach with tons of places to take in the peaceful views. Playground is large and nice with a new basketball court and Gaga ball. Bring your bug spray and get ready to enjoy serene nature. Oh and I love how affordable it is :)
Camping cabins near Midland, Michigan offer access to the Saginaw Bay watershed which spans 8,700 square miles across central Michigan.

Kayaking on local waters: Bay City State Park provides lake access with shallow entry points for paddling. "The nature trail around the lagoon is a birder's dream. We saw white egrets blue heron, sand pipers and their babies," notes Jennifer H. at Bay City State Park Campground.
Boardwalk exploration: Pinconning County Park features extensive marsh boardwalks with observation platforms. "Nice campground with great access to the Saginaw Bay for boaters/kayakers/etc with a small beach," says Zach B. at Pinconning County Park. The park's walkways extend through wetlands with wildlife viewing opportunities.
Swimming in Lake Ovid: The lake at Sleepy Hollow offers designated swimming areas with gradual entry points. "Nice beach but you have to walk a short distance to get there. Bathrooms are clean, paved roads and grass sites," according to Ricky C. at Sleepy Hollow State Park Campground.
Clean shower facilities: Many campgrounds maintain their facilities throughout the day. "The bathrooms and showers were very clean, smelled of bleach," mentions Jennifer H. about Herrick Recreation Area. "They have communal water spickets generously scattered around the grounds."
Water activities for children: The splash pads and water features are popular with families. "This is one of the best campgrounds for kids that I've ever visited. Take a 2 min walk from the camp office across to the day park and you'll find the Spray by the Bay splash pad, a huge timber playground," shares Sarah S. from Bay City State Park.
Weekend organized activities: Staff at many parks coordinate regular events. "They have campground hosts that facilitate free activities organized by the park. We did a kids craft and enjoyed hot cocoa or coffee Saturday morning and then returned after dinner for Back-to-School bingo and popcorn," notes a review from Just-In-Time Campground.
Electrical access varies: Extension cords may be necessary at some sites. "Recommend to have extension cord for some sites, as plug in can be far," advises Tanner G. from Bay City State Park. "Most electrical posts are designed to accommodate at least 2 adjoining lots, and as many as 4."
Seasonal insects: May flies appear during summer months. "According to the park office they're pretty much there all summer. They weren't bad at the campground except at night around the bathrooms."
Reservation windows: Many sites book quickly during peak season. "Plan to book the day of six months before because otherwise you will not get a site," mentions Stephanie C. about Halloween weekends at Sleepy Hollow.
Lake conditions vary: Water clarity changes throughout the season. "The water at the beach is pretty murky with a lot of green algae, we are told by locals the water is nicer at the far end of the beach near the private houses."
Playground access: Some campgrounds have multiple play areas. "There is a small playground in the campground, but you have to cut through campsites to reach it. There are trails for hiking around the wider state park area as well as a few that lead across the street to the swim area and day park," notes a Bay City review.
Site selection matters: Different loops offer varied experiences. "If given the choice get a site in the pine loops. It's more of a walk from the lake but the other loops have no shade and seem more crowded together," advises Jennifer H. from Herrick Recreation Area.
Budget for activities: Many parks offer rentals but costs add up. "They sell ice and wood at the camp office and there was an ice cream place next door to the park. It's a 5 min walk from the park office." Daily activities typically cost $5-15 per person.
Site leveling challenges: Some parks have uneven terrain. "Sites have electric with shared water. Our site had a paved pad and patio. You definitely want to try and get one of these sites. The other sites were OK, but dirt pad and many of them had marsh behind or surrounding them," notes Clint from Gladwin City Park & Campground.
Light interference: Consider tent placement relative to RV neighbors. "We had no complaints about the campground itself but it would be nice if there was an RV lights out policy at night. It's really hard to sleep in a tent when your neighbors RV 'porch' light is on literally all night," mentions Melissa H.
Water access points: Hookup locations can be inconsistent. "May want to bring extra water hose as water hook ups can be farther away than expected," advises Andrea B. Most sites have shared spigots that serve 3-4 campsites.
