ScoutWe 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.
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.
ScoutNice campground pretty quiet very well shaded lots. Some lots would be a bit difficult to get a camper in due to the amount of trees but nice for tent camping. Bathrooms are a bit dated is only downfall. Could use some maintance and upgrades
GuideThe only difference between this campground and a resort is the space between sites. The pool is enormous and sparkling, free mini-golf, illegal court and tons of kids activities. Great place and we were 1 of 2 day campers for 20 spots.
Mount Pleasant's RV camping scene extends beyond the city limits with several campgrounds nestled along rivers and lakes in central Michigan. Most camping facilities operate seasonally from May through October due to Michigan's winter climate, with closures typically after mid-October. Campgrounds in this area tend to cluster along the Pine River and nearby lakes, creating opportunities for water-based recreation between spring and fall.
Fishing opportunities: Countryside Campground & Cabins in Harrison provides access to fishing areas with maintained walking trails. "There is a river to explore and we always get a riverfront site. Rivers are just fun for fishing, throwing stones, canoeing," notes camper Joanie C., who also mentions horse riding options through shallow parts of the river.
Water activities: Secord Lake Campground offers direct lake access. "The Lakeview Campground is a great spot for water lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy the campground's updated amenities," reports Jake C., highlighting the campground's appeal to kayakers.
Golf access: Some campgrounds include golf facilities as part of your stay. At Double RR Ranch RV Resort, campers can enjoy the on-site course. "My husband liked the golf course that came with renting spot. Seen lots of wildlife. Very relaxing time in our pop up not too far from Grand Rapids," shares Joanie C.
Clean facilities: Consistently mentioned in reviews is the exceptional maintenance at several campgrounds. "This is the CLEANEST campground I have ever been to. Seriously not 1 cigarette but or candy wrapper on my site when I arrived. Picnic tables are freshly washed," writes Tracey L. about Countryside Campground & Cabins.
Water access: Water features remain a top attraction at campgrounds throughout the region. "It nice view sometimes to many people but nice n welcoming," notes Corina C. about Cedar Springs RV Resort, which offers a swimming area.
Dog-friendly options: Mount Pleasant area campgrounds frequently accommodate pets. "This campground is the best one in their fleet. It is super dog friendly as well," writes Cindy C. about Outdoor Adventures Mount Pleasant Resort.
Highway noise: Some campgrounds sit near major roads, creating noise concerns. "The highways a littler closer then it looks, so you do get a lot of road noise. Especially when trucks hit the chatter bumps on the side," cautions Becky C. about Cedar Springs RV Resort, though she notes "Overall this place was nice."
Seasonal operation: Most RV parks in the Mount Pleasant area have limited operating seasons. River Valley RV Park runs from May 1 to October 1, while Three Seasons Campground operates from April 20 to September 30.
Weekend crowding: Expect busier conditions during peak periods. "Pretty basic campground with paved sites and a nice lake. Not much space, trees or privacy. Looked like most of the sites were longer term/workers," notes Michael G. about Soaring Eagle Hideaway RV Park.
Scheduled activities: Family-oriented campgrounds offer organized events for children. "Offered hay rides Saturday evening. Had a foam party (my 5 year old loved this)," reports Emily W. about Countryside Campground & Cabins.
Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds maintain swimming facilities. "They also have a marina so if you have a boat they will put it in the water for you," notes a reviewer about River Ridge RV Resort.
Playground access: River Valley RV Park provides additional recreation options beyond water activities. "7 acre swimming and fishing pond. River borders the campground. Rentals of boats, paddle boards, fishing boats, paddle boats and banana bikes. Nice camp store. WiFi," mentions Levi D.
Site selection: Consider space requirements when choosing locations. "The sites are a little cramped, but part of the fun of camping in a campground like this one is meeting the neighbors," shares James P. about Countryside Campground & Cabins.
Firewood availability: Most campgrounds sell firewood on site, saving transport hassles. "They deliver firewood $30 for a tractor bucket full," notes Emily W. about one campground, though quality can vary as Michael G. mentioned "Wet firewood" at another location.
Online reservation systems: Some RV parks near Mount Pleasant have implemented digital check-in processes. "Loved the online check in process so there was no delays and we just pulled right into our site," reports Tracey L.
