Cabins at Wabasis Lake County Park and Lincoln Pines Resort provide quiet lakeside accommodations with basic but functional amenities. Wabasis Lake cabins feature a living room, two bedrooms (one with a queen bed and another with two bunk beds), a kitchen counter, dining table, microwave, and small refrigerator. "The cabins are located just across the road and slightly up the hill from Lake Wabasis, and facing almost due east, which leads to wonderful early morning sunrises over the lake from the front porch," notes one visitor. Lincoln Pines Resort cabins operate from April to October, offering electricity, water hookups, and trash service in a tranquil setting.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Scalley Lake Park Campground and Cabins offers year-round accommodations with lakefront views on a private, non-motorized lake. Cedar Springs RV Resort provides cabins with access to clean restrooms and showers, while Double RR Ranch RV Resort features more secluded cabin options set back in wooded areas. "The cabins are clean and nice, the view of the lake is beautiful," writes one camper about Scalley Lake. Most cabins permit pets, though Scalley Lake Park is notably pet-free. Reservations are typically required, especially during summer months when facilities reach capacity.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between properties - some offer only microwaves while others provide kitchenettes. Many campgrounds with cabins maintain small camp stores for essentials. At Wabasis Lake, firewood is available for purchase (eight large pieces for $6), though visitors note pieces are oversized: "Bring a hatchet or axe because the wood pieces are huge!" On-site restaurants or food service is limited, so guests should plan to bring groceries or be prepared to drive to nearby towns for supplies. Cedar Springs, Greenville, and Belding offer grocery options within 15-20 minutes of most cabin locations.

"Train rides, Pool, Scavenger hunt, trails, bike rides, there just weren't enough hours in the day! We should have reserved an entire week!"
3. Cedar Springs Rv Resort

"Green spaces on both sides of site 290. A bit more room compared to the other inner loop sites. The outer loop sites have a bit more space. No ground foliage so you can see your neighbors clearly!"

Grand Haven RV Resort & Campground
Clean with lots of activities for kid.
The grounds and facilities were very clean. There were many families with kids and a lot of activities for them. Spaces were reasonable but this is a large park. Be careful some site are very close to a major road. Our spot had water and electric very far apart and I had to choose…this was an anomoly.

After eyeballing this campground all year and waiting for a cancellation, we finally got to visit.
Yes, it was the most densely packed campground we’ve ever been to. I have never seen this many cars at a campground before. But somehow, despite the sold out weekend, it just didn’t feel that crowded. Neighbors were kind, kids were running all over the place, and it just felt like a big community. It gave us that 90s summer vibe where kids roamed around and you just walked over and spoke to a neighbor.
Quiet times are pretty adhered to. Most sites were lights out by 10pm.
The walk to the beach is really manageable even with folding chairs and a cooler. And despite it being sandy, bring a bicycle if you want to! There was a review that said leave the bikes behind and our kids were sorely disappointed when we discovered 85% of the path to the beach was paved.
Shower house was the second cleanest facility we’ve ever experienced! For how busy it was, it the crew did a really fantastic job. Camp hosts also had activities and coffee hour which was a huge hit.
We’ve already decided that we would come back here again. Our kids absolutely loved it.

Very nice, affordable campground
Super cute little campground, it’s definitely located in an odd spot but nonetheless it’s a nice campground. The staff are very kind, and the lake view is beautiful. Also located very close to drop off points for kayaking down Muskegon river, which btw is also a beautiful river trip! I would definitely stay here again. The only thing I wish was a little different was that they would add a dog run, and clean up what used to be a beach area.

Sand Dunes & Rolling Lake Waves
Framed by dunes on the western side of the campground and shaded pines in every direction, the campground here at Muskegon State Park feels like it was built for families who crave both forest calm and water views. The 140 sites are generous, spacious and peaceful, and while the bathhouses have a little age to them, they’re spotless and well-tended. Our boys spent half the trip barefoot on the sandy trail leading to the channel, where they splashed in the shallows and waved at passing fishing boats. I’d recommend Muskegon State Park at Lake Michigan campground for families who love the scent of pine mixed with lake breeze, the sound of kids laughing down the trail and the EZ comfort of a well-loved state park that has a manned ranger booth when checking in adding to overall sense of security.

TriPonds Family Camp Resort
Great family campground!
Great rates! Lots of stuff to keep our 2 year old granddaughter busy and entertained. Everyone is friendly. They have a little cafe and ice cream shop with yummy treats! Showers and bathrooms are kept very clean, and the pool is nice. Our granddaughters favorite is the bounce pad and the petting zoo.

Sandy Beach County Park
Over all good/ family friendly.
We 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.
