  Forester Park Campground

  Terrible Management

  It saddens me to write such a poor review for a campground I once loved. I have been camping at Forester Campground in Sanilac County since 2005. We camp with a very large group of over 20 people. This year Sanilac County Parks allowed one person to make group reservations then each party called in and paid. This seemed like a good solution for those of us who camp in large groups and want to be by each other. However, they did not send us individual emails of confirmations. They only sent it to the individual who made the reservation. This has been a stressful year, and I could not remember what my dates were. I called Forester Campground. They told me I was due in on June 27th. When I checked in, the office staff told me I was due until the following day. I was upset, as I was given the wrong information. I asked her if I needed to pay today for the day. She said she would adjust it, since it was her staff that made the error. As I was setting up, the park manager, Steven Pozsgay came and said he“adjusted” our stay, having us leave a day earlier. This would have us leaving a day before our friends. I was very upset. He was not aggressive, but extremely unfriendly. He said if we wanted to stay another day would need to pay for it. Which, I offered when I checked in. I found out he reprimanded his staff for offering to accommodate us since the staff made the error. After serious consideration, time with our friends was more important than his attitude. So we paid for the additional night. When we went to pay, we tried to discuss with the staff why we were upset. In the middle of the conversation, the manager, Steven Pozsgay took his phone out of his pocket, dialed his phone and left the room. Leaving his staff with my sister and myself. His staff told us in his presence that our friend would no longer be able to make group reservations due to this mix up. The entire conversation deflected any responsibility of the park’s staff and management. Instead, they chose to attempt to manipulate me into feeling negatable about my handling of the situation. Last I checked, businesses were in the business of making business, not discouraging it. My sister asked what the penalty would be to cancel Labor Day and Halloween weekend. She responded that we would lose all of money we paid. Which is a lie. You are only penalized one day. However, this all could have been avoided had they sent us confirmation emails when we called in to pay. Or, Steven Pozsgay supported his employee’s way of handling the situation. Even if he would have come to me and said, she made a mistake. But no, he chose to be abrasive and inflammatory. Every year since Steven Pozsgay has taken over as manager there has been an issue with him. He is abrasive and confrontational. His management skills are poor at best. For over a year, the dump station was not operable, and he refused for campers without full hook up to dump in the full hook up lots that were vacant. If it weren’t for the location being on Lake Huron, he would lose considerable amount of business. We will finish our current reservations at Forester Campground but won’t schedule any further vacations there. We will only return when Seven Pozsgay is no longer the manager.

  Oakland County Addison Oaks

  Excellent camping

  This is the second time staying in these campgrounds in two weeks. Both times stayed in the more wilderness area D with lots of trees and sites for tents or back-in trailers. The grounds are huge with bike/hike trails, a lake and a disc golf course. Mountain biking seems to be very popular there are dirt trails off the paved hiking loop. Sites have electricity and water and are well spaced out.

  Metamora-Hadley Recreation Area

  OK for last minute trips.

  I have stayed here over 100 times in past thirty years. Front camp sites are better than back. Staff are friendly. The only rude person here is the camp store owner. Fishing is great, boat, kayaks, trails for everyone. If it rains everything is mud if your in the back camp section.

  Great spot for weekend camping with the family

  We camped here in our Coleman Lantern over Labor Day Weekend 2023. It was busy but everyone was respectful of one another. The community restrooms, dump station, and dumpsters were well maintained throughout the weekend. The camping store was well stocked for all of the things we forgot to pack but was expensive. The park is extremely sandy so be prepared. Overall it was a quiet, peaceful weekend in a great location. We will definitely be back!

  Management

  Horrible management here. You need to wear a wristband everywhere and at all times. Dumb gate that needs to be scanned to let you in. They guide you into your site which is extremely annoying and freak out if you go the wrong way on the one ways. Just way over controlling on you and you can’t enjoy camping.

  Needs better housekeeping

  I was fortunate to get full hookup however the bathhouse in C section is the pits. I will not use the showers in this section. Section A showers are a possibility.

  Forester Park Campground

  Friendly, but tight and odd utilities

  First, some seasonal residents were extremely helpful with our campfire woes. All of the neighbors and their kids were awesome.

  We chose this campground because it was close to our home and it was a short trip for our opening weekend.

  The store, staff, and ice cream shop were great. We even bought t-shirts to commemorate!

  The price was reasonable for 2 nights on memorial day weekend with full hookups and 30 amps ($40 a night). Water was clean a d strong. No issues with electricity.

  Some issues we had that we were not expecting: The sewer and water spigot were on opposite ends of our site. I had to race to Raymond's hardware(also friendly!) in town for a 50 foot fresh water hose before they closed.

  We also don't not have a slide out, but our trailer was brushed against a tall tree/bush. If we weren't against the tree, our awning may have been against the opposite neighbors' trailer.

  The sewer access was slightly uphill from our site, so that caused some issues as well.

  In conclusion: We'd definitely return, but we'd be careful about the site location.

  Lakeport State Park Campground

  Noisy RV park, not my thing

  If you're looking for a peaceful state park near the beach, this is NOT IT.

  This is a noisy, crowded, smokey RV park with no privacy. It would probably be fun if you were 10 years old, running wild with all the other kids and hanging out on the beach. The other campers are in large noisy groups that arrive after 11:30 pm to noisily set up their RVs or party until midnight. Not our thing!

  The beach is nice (no dogs on beach) and bathrooms were fine.

  Lakeport State Park Campground

  Lakeport family fun

  Lakeport state park, is it fun? Is there things to do? How’s the beach? We’ll I tell ya. This park is kept super clean! The bathrooms were kept up well and the showers were squeaky clean with warm water running the whole shower. The beach was rocky so don’t forget to pack some water shoes but the rocky beach comes with finding cool rocks to either paint or just collect! (We left with a whole cooler filled) There is trails to ride your bike around and two playgrounds to keep the kids busy. It was my first camp at a state park and I was highly impressed. So if you’re in the port Huron area or only a couple hours away and want a nice relaxing get away in some good ole out doors but have electricity & bathrooms then I would highly recommend lakeport!

  Everything but the cell service

  This place is beautiful and we’ll absolutely be back! The entire facility was clean and staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The only downside was the abysmal Verizon signal. I’m talking 3 mbps bad.

  Port Huron KOA

  Luxury camping

  Family camping at its finest. This KOA has so many things to do you could stay a week. (If it wasn’t so $)

  They have pretty much any site type you could ask for. It tends to get a little rowdy and is not a quiet campground by any means but there’s something fun about that sometimes. Got to watch out for kids buzzing around on banana bikes and golf carts cruising around.

  We stayed a couple times this summer. First time was site 74, it was a grassy site that wasn’t bad but had no shade. Second time we stayed in site 54 which was great. If you’re in a camper I’d recommend sites 54,179,180. Those sites have a bit of a backyard to them and more space.

  Won't be back.

  We did reserve a great site 6 months in advance. The caterpillars devoured the entire first loop. When we drove thru, it sounded like rain hitting the truck but it was poo. They were also dropping from the trees along the beach. The beach is rocky.

  Addison Oaks County Park

  A little slice of wilderness in the siburbs

  Always a great local retreat away from our hectic daily life. Don’t have to travel far to find some nature. Most sites generously sized, hookups available, clean restrooms. Nice updated playgrounds for the kids, trails to bike, planned activities on weekends. Only wish there was a swimming lake, but alas, only for fishing and canoeing.

  Jellystone Park North Port Huron

  Lots to do for lots of money

  We stayed in one of the "deluxe" cabins which are 1 bedroom cabins with a full bathroom and a sleeping loft. The layout of the cabin is great and it includes a screened in porch. The cabin was pretty grimy though. The floors hadn't been moped in weeks, the bathroom needed to be scrubbed not just wiped down, etc. We encountered lots of maintenance issues - burned out lightbulbs, malfunctioning toilets, TV remotes missing or not working, A/C units broken. These are things that I might expect at a "typical" campground, but at $265 per night for midweek, I expected better.

  The campground amenities are numerous but we found the hours to be limited and a lot of the amenities were additional costs which we thought was excessive given the price we were paying for the cabin.

  Forester Park Campground

  Awesome Campground!

  This was my first experience at forester Park! I loved it! Nice laid back park. We went on memorial weekend, it was packed as expected. I had site 140. When you buy wood you can choose to buy a bushel for $30 that someone drops off at your campsite for you! It was alot of pine and birch, delicious smelling! Bathrooms were cleaned daily. Nice place to have a few friends by the campsite!

  Small and friendly

  The smallest KOA we have been to but it was a nice change. The new owner helped us back into our site - he was very nice and enthusiastic. Pizza delivery on a rainy night was a nice touch. We will definitely come back when it is warm enough to swim in the lake!

  Lakeport State Park Campground

  Typical MI State Park

  You get electric, period. Dump station available, potable water available there, as well as various spigots within the park. Beach ok but narrow. Firewood available, with free loaner wagons to get it to your site. I found the west side of the park a lot noisier than the east. The separate south campground was closed for repair, so I can't speak to that. Be aware that in summer, thousands of tentworms will be on virtually every tree, often falling on you when you're sitting around. They get on your awning, so be careful before rolling it up.

  Best campground in the mitten!

  I love lakeport! So peaceful and relaxing! We camped there 9 times in 2020 plan to do the same this year! Home away from home! Campsites along the water are the best with pathways to the beach! Bathrooms are always gleaming as well!!!
