TravelerVisiting relatives in St Louis. Church campground with almost level sites, grass. Friendly staff and helpful. Clean and well maintained. Water and electric, no full hookup, but have dump station.
ScoutWe stayed here 2 years ago. The office where payment is made is a few miles away from the actual campground.
There is a dump station and water at the fairgrounds. Along the left side near the dump / water station as you enter are huge grassy sites marked by electrical outlets at the rear of the sites. The rest of the fairgrounds are set up like a traditional campground on a "loop" style. It looks like almost all the sites will accommodate a 40 footer easily.
There were 2 or 3 campers who appeared to be long term seasonal guests but it did not distract from our overall stay.
We pull an Imagine 2500RL pulled by a Ford F-150 max trailer package.
We stayed 4 nights and spent the days traveling around Bay City.
Founds a great BBQ that had been shared by MI PLAYGROUND --- Meaty's Roadhouse BBQ& Sausage Shack Bay City.
We are planning our Summer 2024 travels and will; be stopping at the Bay County Fairgrounds again this summer.
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.
TravelerRustic feel as all sites are electric but no water hook up. There are spigots in the center as well as a dump station and potable water fill. My family has camped here for years as it is close to home. They sell fire wood and the bath houses are cleaned multiple times as day and the showers are usually pretty warm as well. Great place to camp as a group. A few different play grounds and a full beach across the road.
TravelerThis campground is the perfect spot if you want to still have a camping experience and get away from RV parks. The terrain there makes for a beautiful view. The new owners are great and made our group feel right at home! The pool, putt putt, and walking trails were nice as well! The pull through sites were great for the two 28’ fifth wheels and 30 ft bumper pull in our group. There are a lot of trees but the new owners have worked hard to make sure the sites are cleared enough to park in. Will definitely be back again and will be interested to see what more great things Shane and Cindy have in store for this place.
TravelerIonia has so many great outdoor activities for almost anyone. There is a disc golf course, mountain bike trail, equestrian trails, hiking trails, a beautiful no wake lake perfect for swimming, kayaking, or fishing. The beach is fantastic especially for little kids who might not be the best swimmers ready for Lake Michigan or lakes with lots of boats and waves to deal with. Nice and sandy and a nice store and ice cream shop at the beach.
The campground itself is very nice, but you may find the activities are a short drive away from your site to get there. The sites are all a little bit shallow especially if you have a larger travel trailer you may find it a bit tight. There is a great variety of shaded and sunny sites. There is only one bathroom for the campground so it can be a bit busy and it could probably use an update.
TravelerWe stayed here over Labor Day Weekend 2021 and had a great time. The electric sites are all large campsites that are very long with lots of options on how you want to setup. Awesome wood pricing that's delivered directly to the campsite. Lots of walking trails and the campground was dog friendly. Extremely friendly owners who keep the campground and it's facilities very very clean. The outdoor showers were great! Great water pressure and HOT water! There's a little Fresh Produce stand across the street, easy walking distance for some great veggies, eggs, and baked goods. Can't wait to come back and see what the new owners have added after the season!
Great Cell Coverage on AT&T (80mbps+ down); decent coverage on Sprint/TMobile and Verizon.
LegendWhat can I say, I love the Michigan State Parks. I find they are the best, Sleepy Hollow is not different and it has so many things to do. I would advise if you want to camp there on a weekend to make reservations well in advance. We stay here because there are only 2 campgrounds in the Lansing East Lansing Area this being one of them and the other does not have all full hook ups and charges more. When we visit our daughter at Michigan State University this is the place we stay, 20 - 30 minutes into the University depending upon the traffic.
It has large wooded sites only electric but you can fill up the water at the dump station. Each site has a picnic table and Fire ring. Each campsite has a asphalt pad. They sell fire wood at the campground office. Bring what you need or you can go into St. johns to the Kroger or Walmart. they have 2 main camping loops with 2 loops in each of the main loops and a shower restroom in each main loop. The restrooms are very clean and kept up. I love the showers hot water and for me that is hot and great pressure, I could shower all day. Sure beats our shower in the RV.
The State Park is on Ovid Lake and it is a beautiful lake, great for fishing, canoeing, paddle boards, kayak, and swimming. they have a shelter for you if you have a big party.
They also have a group campsite and a picnic area for large groups. d You can also bring your horses go to the Equestrian area and unload and get on the trail.
You can rent canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and paddle boards. They also have a great play ground for the kids and a fishing pier. Bring Bikes or just hike on the trails and head down to the beach.
TravelerBrower Park is a quiet campground with three separate areas with sites. They accommodate large RVs as well as smaller trailers and tents. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. Electricity and water hookup is included at each site. Our site was near the Muskegon River and was very peaceful. Bathrooms and showers were clean and easily accessible.
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.
