As a student, I recently utilized academlead essay writing services in uk https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/top-3-popular-essay-writing-services-uk-digital-marketplace1-n2mqf/. Their platform impressed me with its efficiency and quality. The writers were knowledgeable and delivered well-researched essays tailored to my academic needs. I appreciated their attention to detail and adherence to deadlines. AcademLead's service not only met but exceeded my expectations, making it a reliable choice for anyone seeking academic writing assistance in the UK. Highly recommended!

We just got done with a 3 night stay at Sleepy Hallow. The campsite itself was great, nice a roomy while also being wooded. The bugs were pretty intense, but bug spray helped. They are working on the natural gas pipeline nearby, so there was lots of construction noise. Verizon service was basically non existent other than at the beach. The dog beach was small and full of algae.

First let me say the rustic area is walk-in only. I was unaware of this until we arrived. Luckily our site was in the front and not a terrible walk. 3 sites in the middle, grouped together, would be nice for a group to book together. Rustic side is right next to the boat ramp. Inside of the state park is a nice beach for swimming, with concessions. A lot of fishing spots, even if you are bank fishing. Check in window is in the back of the park. Wood and ice available.

We just got back from Ionia State Campground, and we had the most lovely time! First of all, I did some research ahead of time to find a more private camping spot, and ours did not disappoint. After looking around the campground, there were numerous spots that were very secluded and private. There were beautiful walking trails all around, and the lake was very pretty.

I had read other reviews saying that the bathrooms were terrible. I did not find them to be all that bad. They were certainly dated, but I found the bathrooms and showers to be kept as clean as they could be. I have also read that the bathrooms will be completely replaced at the end of this year.

The one downside I did find was the beach. I thought that the infrastructure at the beach needed work, particularly the rinse off station and the benches. We only went over to the beach for ice cream, so this didn't bother me personally.

We loved it and plan to come back!

The place was beautiful for Memorial Day weekend. The neighbors in the campers were loud they were playing loud. I did notice lots of ticks. Our dogs all had at least one on them and all of us campers had a few. It’s expected being in the backs wood like that I just didn’t realize how bad. We did some hiking while there and the trails were nice for the most part all the storms definitely did a number on the trees back there lots down in the trails. Overall it was a great weekend

The owners are super nice and very attentive. The grounds and are very maintained. The showers, bathrooms, and pool are all above expectations for clean. This is an amazing and very kid friendly campground. We will for sure be back! Thank you!

Excellent owners! Super friendly that work hard to keep the place really clean. Its been in business since 1941 I believe. 

They have 20 sites. The ones by the river are where we stayed. (sites 4&5). They also have some little cabins. They also do kyak rentals, with drop off and you boat back to their own landing. Super convenient. 

We stayed the weekend and fully enjoyed it. We stayed in site 5 and had the river as our front yard. Electric is provided at each site, and they do have a dump station.

The ONLY downside I had, and I knew full well going into this and it didn't bother me, it is on M115, a fairly busy road. I know that might be a deal breaker for some, but was easily overlooked for the view we had, the kindness of the owners, and the cleanliness of the facilities and grounds. Most folks wont care, but some purists (Just know that I'm usually a boondock, REAL desolate camping kind of guy), wont like the traffic aspect. I didn't let it bother me.

I give 5 stars because they cant do anything a bout the location, obviously, so I rated on our experience.  We had an excellent time, and will come back again.

Per michigan laws;

STATE LAND RULE – GAME AREAS – EXCERPT(S) 926 On state game or wildlife areas it is unlawful to: • Camp between May 15 and September 10, except in areas specifically designated for camping.

I don’t see any camping spots specifically on the official map of this place.

So if you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy a nice atmosphere, and have friendly people that run the campground, don't camp here!! I've camped in this campground for 15 years. Until this past season trying to give the new owner the opportunity to make this campground awesome again but the owners are RUDE. They don't care how the campground is maintained from grass cutting(or lack of) to fire pits full to trash/litter on sites and moldy bathrooms, minimal operating toilets, power issues when hooking up to the outdated power system and to getting assigned a site that was not booked for due to over booking sites. Then there is the blatantly disrespect to the customer's who usually are supposed to be always right but the owner is straight out of New York which is loud and has rude comments about campers that they do not care for and they are not afraid of who hears it. I can go on and on about what the campground is and how campers who are there to relax and enjoy the atmosphere shouldn't have to worry about catching something from a bathroom visit. So just saying that this place is a campers beware!!

I took a day hike back about a mile to site “F”. It was pretty private with a day site about 75 feet away so if anyone hiked in to use the day site, you might have to contend with close neighbors. Otherwise, a great spot with water access.

If you have kids keep far away from this place. It's full of sex offenders and people who condone it. Sick place. Even the management is in on it. These people are disgusting. As boots said "The Hills Have Eyes Compound "

Disgusting place

They protected a register, sex offender, who was meeting up with what he thought was a 12-year-old   This place should be ashamed of themselves     0 in review 0000000000.

 A group that busts online predators was verbally and physically attacked while filming live by a worker or resident just a few minutes ago while busting a Registered Sex Offender that came to meet a 12 year old girl! Your resort evidently thinks pedophilia is ok! The group was not on your property but on the road which isn't your property and you had absolutely no right to attack the man trying to catch the predator while waiting for the police to come!! Everything was caught on film and we watched it live! Keep your children away!

The members/possibly the owners/management are clearly protecting registered sex offenders in a very aggressive manner.  I wouldn’t stay here if it was the last campground on earth! Citizens of Three Rivers Watch your kids!
