Millington, Michigan camping options feature a mix of wooded landscapes and lakeside settings with varying seasonal availability. Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October, closing during winter months when temperatures typically drop below freezing. The predominantly flat terrain makes for easy site access, though some facilities have specific restrictions on tent camping.
What to do
Fishing at Holloway Reservoir: Wolverine Campground offers access to Holloway Reservoir, known for walleye fishing. "Lake is supposed to be great for walleye fishing, even if it a tad shallow," notes Chris S., though another camper mentions "the water isn't very deep but great place to go for water sports."
Prayer trail walking: Church Grove Park features a unique prayer trail for quiet contemplation. "Very nice little campground. Run by the Lutheran church. Gary is very welcoming and friendly... Very clean. Very nice prayer trail," reports Deb H., who visited the park recently.
Golfing options: Some campgrounds integrate recreational facilities. At Holiday Shores RV Park, the "attached 9 hole golf course was well maintained and had some tricky holes. There were changes in elevation and multiple water hazards... Overall it was a fun, mostly challenging round of golf that is worth checking out!"
What campers like
Spacious lakefront sites: Certain campgrounds offer premium waterfront locations. At Krystal Lake Campground, one camper who initially faced challenges noted, "We insisted on a different site and were placed across the bridge on a beautiful huge site on the lake! After that, everything was wonderful."
Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower quality varies between parks. At Finn Road Park, campers appreciate the well-maintained grounds: "Campground is very nice sites are concrete pads and level! Sites are mostly shaded."
Family recreation areas: Wolverine Campground includes water recreation options. "It has a beach boat launch and the lake is great for walleye. Campground has campsites on lake and is half wooded," notes one reviewer, while another adds it's "great for fishing and swimming, very rustic."
What you should know
Reservation systems vary: Several campgrounds don't offer online booking. For Holiday Shores, "there is no booking online so you have to call. Which was super easy!" Meanwhile, Church Grove Park operates entirely differently: "No reservations, first come only."
Site spacing differences: Site dimensions and privacy levels vary significantly. At Pine Ridge RV Campground, "Some camp sites are squished up to others. Other camp sites have plenty of room. So when you are stuck in a spot that is tight it kind of ruins the experience. Weird thing is, the bugger sites are the same price."
Weekend noise levels: Some campgrounds host entertainment that affects quieter campers. One Krystal Lake visitor reported, "They started blasting loud music that drowned out our campfire conversation from 1000ft away. We end our night early and still couldn't sleep, because the music was so loud inside of our camper."
Tips for camping with families
Recreation options: Family-friendly amenities differ between locations. Krystal Lake Campground offers multiple activities: "There is a pool and a beach, a small store, putt putt, Kayaks. Not my favorite type of camping, but great for a family."
Playground considerations: Pine Ridge has limited child-friendly facilities according to a recent visitor: "The playground is extremely outdated and rarely used — it's telling that you almost never see kids riding bikes or playing in the park."
Site selection strategy: For family gatherings, consider specialized layouts. For Krystal Lake, one camper advises, "We prefer the wagon wheel sites at the back of the park, so we can park our campers in a large circle."
Tips from RVers
Hookup placement: At Finn Road Park, RVers appreciate the level sites with convenient utilities: "Very nice, quite and clean, everything you need, water electric, sewer, cement pad."
Cord length preparation: Some parks have unusual utility placement. One camper at Wolverine Campground warns, "If you're in a camper, make sure you have an extension cord. The power is quite a ways away."
Internet connectivity: Cell service and WiFi availability varies throughout the region. A Krystal Lake visitor noted, "Wifi good at camp store, not much anywhere else, including about 15 minutes in either direction of the campground."
