ScoutFriendly staff. Very Clean and well maintained. We had a site with a view of the river and It was quiet and peaceful. Nice fire pits and tables at our site. Wood was available and seasoned.
ScoutVery nice campground, Clean and well maintained and friendly office staff. Nice wooded trail (about 3/4 mile loop around the pond) for walking the pooches. There is a nice sized fenced dog park with potable water right there. Great little playground and bounce house for the kiddos.
TravelerGreat park. Located near town. Beautiful, clean, well kept. Sites are spacious enough.
GuideNice concept... still finding they're legs. Staff member didn't seem to want to help with the much too laborious and personal check-in process. Fees have gone up. And there are showers.
ScoutThese sites are fine. Good for the price and offer a fire ring and picnic tables. They are first come first serve and there’s a pit-style toilet.
There’s a long, winding road with sites along the way and 2 sites at the end next to the water. If you stay up by the road, it’s a bit loud as cars go by.
TravelerA hidden gem with a lot of history. A paddle wheel boat on the Grand river?! Nice and secluded yet close to town and easy access to the highway
ScoutWolf Lake Campground & Resort is a family-owned, family-run place where the owners take the time to get to know their guests. The restrooms are recently updated and well maintained. There is a small visitor fee for extra guests, but otherwise it’s a peaceful, quiet spot to relax.
TravelerLots of great biking in the area. Beach is nearby. Hiking trails as well.
TravelerCampground is good clean and accessible. The sites are like diagonal parking spots. So we suggest you jump out real quick and oriente yourself with your spot before pulling in. There are spots with sewer and water for $60 and spots with just electric for $45 as of May 2026. Bathhouse and restrooms were clean and accessible with baby changing stations in both men's and women's bathrooms. You do have to check in at the first campground. So make sure to listen and follow directions to that campground first. The sign isn't huge, so keep your eyes peeled.
