  Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

  AWESOME

  So far this is the nicest KOA ever. Beautifully landscaped sites are very, very nice. Many sites with cement patios and grills. There's cabins and yurts too. Nice very busy pool and slide, play areas, walking trail, camp store with hot food. Not far from Lake Michigan and places to buy fresh fruit and veggies. Check it out you'll be happy you did. We were here twice this year!

  Lake Macatawa Campground — Holland State Park

  Typical State Park

  Very typical of Michigan state parks. Tight sites with a nice fire ring. Great location with a walking path to Lake Michigan. Close to downtown Holland. Nice bathrooms and clean showers.

  Lake Macatawa Campground — Holland State Park

  Exactly what you would expect from a State Park

  It's clean. It's well laid out. It's well staffed. It's near Holland, MI and Lake Michigan beaches. It has electricity only - no water or sewer in campsites. It's beautiful and piney and full of poison ivy and mosquitoes because it's in Michigan. Suck it up and enjoy the view.

  Grand Haven State Park Campground

  Campin’ on the beach!

  This is a cool campground to come hang out at one of the most beautiful beaches in Michigan, and provides the unique experience of actually camping ON the beach, which is something you don’t get to do with 95% of the campgrounds on Michigan’s coast. Right across the Grand River a really nice nature preserve to escape for a hike, but there isn’t much in the way of hiking at this particular state park. The showers and facilities though are of the cleanest and well kept in all of Michigan’s state parks.

  Hungry Horse Campground

  Small and family-oriented!

  Cute little campground in a small town in Dorr, Michigan. Lots of activities, swimming, wagon rides, jump pad, and more. Facilities were fairly clean and easily accessible. My favorite was that they offered social activities on the weekends for people to meet one another. Would highly recommend and am looking forward to future visits!

  Lake Macatawa Campground — Holland State Park

  It’s about location not comfort

  This campground is close to Lake Michigan and lake Mac . Also convent access to town by car. Not my favorite sites(where are stayed) on the west end are small. Looks like the sites on the east end are larger and more comfortable. Very nice camp hosts! Clean restrooms and showers.

  Grand Haven State Park Campground

  DT GH experience

  Close to Downtown Grand Haven and boardwalk, on sandy beach of Lake Michigan. Ideal for RV camping. $21-37/night. Cottage available too. Book in advance! End of July-early Aug this small town is packed due to Coast Guard Festival.

  Grand Haven State Park Campground

  Bucket-list checked!

  This was a great overall experience. We were right on the canal side and only 300ft away from Lake Michigan. Grand Haven State Parks has upgraded facilities so bathrooms and showering is actually pleasant. Loce this place and will be going back annually.

  Fort Custer Recreation Area

  Surprisingly nice beach area.

  Fort Custer is a hidden gem in Michigan. Nobody thinks to go camping near Battle Creek, but they really should reconsider!

  Never over-crowded, tons of trails, and very nice paddle board, kayak, and canoe rentals! The lake at the state park is outlined by trails and features a small island to paddle around!

  Grand Haven State Park Campground

  Beach Camping

  This is a campground located right on the sandy beach of Lake Michigan. Its perfect for those who want to be right up close to the water. There is paved lots where your rv sits. No trees for shade so be sure to be prepared with ac!

  Covert Park Beach & Campground

  Lake Michigan

  Cons: The actual campground was disappointing, the map was not true to date and most sites the electrical box and water hook up is on the wrong side of the site.

  Bring extra line... we have 50ft hose so we were fine there ( line goes through the middle of the site) and 25ft electrical and had to re adjust the camper a few times so it would reach.

  The campground allows anyone to buy daily passes for the beach so the beach can get crowded. Lots of traffic in and out.

  Beach is washing away, black sand for most of it, maybe due to storm. Still plenty when we went 7/2020 for kids to play.

  Pros: Lake Michigan is right there! We walked down to sunset and it was a 5 min walk max.

  I’ll stay at any campground to have Lake Michigan in walking distance

  They do have two separate paths to the lake, one stair case (several steps) and other was a flat path 100 yards or so then maybe 10 steps down to beach. The flat path had a lot of traffic from daily users

  Play set was ok. One for smaller kids and one for bigger. Slide, few swings, nothing to big.

  New wash house, rinse off after lake play.

  Seasonal members were very informative and friendly, not so informative in office.

  Campground was very quiet at dark.

  I will give a 4 because we could walk out of our camper to Lake Michigan, beautiful!

  Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

  Our Favorite

  We camp here every year with our family since it is perfectly halfway between us, in Michigan, and my family in Chicago. The kids love the activities and the pool and my family who are not necessarily "outdoorsy" love that they can sleep in an air conditioned cabin with cable! This is an amazing campground!

  Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

  Great Family Visit

  This is a great place to camp with young children, as there are many activities around the camp. It is family owned and operated and you can tell- warm and friendly. If you want to explore, there are six Lake Michigan beaches within 15 minutes, and it's located between South Haven, MI and Saint Joseph, MI.

  Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

  We’ve stayed many times...

  This is one our top options when camping with tents, pop-up camper, or even cabins when we come to visit South Haven. The spots are great, a little sandy because it is Michigan. Good showers and clean bathrooms. This KOA has always been a reliable camp spot. The South Haven beaches are just a short twenty minute drive away!

  Don’t forget to get Sherman’s while you’re there!

  Grand Haven State Park Campground

  Not your normal campground

  This is a parking lot on the beach - sites are extremely tight and small

  This is not a normal michigan style camping experience but it’s about the location of where you are.

  This is a great location for being right on the beach and being able to walk downtown

  This campground is not for everyone

  We love sitting on the beach having a fire and waking downtown

  Bathrooms were very clean, staff were very friendly

  Grand Haven State Park Campground

  Great Beach Camping

  Not our usual type of camping. But, with that said we really enjoyed our 4 night stay. Lake Michigan is a short stroll and downtown Grand Haven is a short walk. Enjoyed the Spring Lake bike trail loop that gave us a 19 mile ride from the campground. Verizon signal okay to stream. Lucked out and only had one off and on neighbor. Otherwise sites are very close and on a parking lot covered with sand here and there.

  Great place!

  We spent 5 days here in June. The campground is clean, the wi-fi is great. The pool and playground area is nicely laid out. We ordered food from the store and they brought it right to our site. A tornado passed within a mile or so of the campground and the employees were out within minutes to make sure everyone was o.k. The beaches of Lake Michigan are within 15 minutes or so. Be sure to visit the "shoe tree". We will definitely be back!!!

  Grand Haven State Park Campground

  All day lake michigan access great town

  Grand Haven is often described as a parking lot: However, we don't spend much time at the camper when we are here. We are here for Lake Michigan. The sunrises and sunsets, the water, the beach and the waves. 

  Nothing like waking up and walking to the beach, easy back and forth for lunch/dinner and snacks. The town is super cute and you can't leave without trying a pronto pup! 

  Bathrooms are clean and facilities are large. Easy access to town for any needs or a dinner out. 

  Its not where I go if I want a quiet camp in the woods, it is a great destination for lake time!

  Ionia State Recreation Area — Ionia Recreation Area

  Great activities for outdoors lovers

  Ionia 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.

  Ionia State Recreation Area — Ionia Recreation Area

  Really, That’s Your Signage??

  Well if you are arriving here late, good luck.... Pretty much the worst signage I’ve seen in Michigan State Recreation Area. Very good signs to pretty much everything other than Beechwood Campground. Once you do figure out that you have to drive to acolyte back end of park to register then turn all the way back around and find hidden non marked campground, you’ll soon realize they are walk/hike in sites. NO WHERE on DNR website for reservations does it say this. As is if this isn’t bad enough, once you park and find trail the sign then reads “East or west” for sites. Not B1- whatever this way B whatever that way do bring your compass too and flashlight if dark. To say the sites are uneven is putting it mildly. For 15 sites, you seriously can’t level them?? Really lazy considering how nice disc course is and signage for course. I wouldn’t waste your time or money camping here, visit park and use trails or disc course yes. Camp, no way ever again!!

  Kal-Haven Outpost

  Super convenient to the Kal Haven Bike Trail

  This was a nice campground right on the Kal Haven Trail - about 4 miles from South Haven. The RV camping is in a circle in the center of the campground near the bathhouse with cabins and tent camping on the perimeter. There were some very nice woods with paths leading to the Kal Haven and around the campground. 

  It was so convenient to be able to bike ride, hike, or run on the trail that I hesitate to offer any critique - but I will. The sites and the roads in the campground are all dirt so while we were there it was exceptionally dusty. I could imagine that when they have a lot of rain, it is exceptionally muddy. 

  Check out the blue stairs beach at Lake Michigan (accessible in South Haven), Barden's Market for fresh baked goods and vegetables, the Depot for sandwiches, wine and beer, and 3 Blonds Brewery - good food and beer.  In addition to the Kal Haven, you can access the Van Buren State Park Trail in South Haven. It is a 4-mile paved trail running from South Haven to the Van Buren State Park.

  Covert Park Beach & Campground

  Cute, family owned, about average

  Cute little camp store, and definitely well removed. The site is situated in a little valley between the dunes and the hills of town. The sites are surprisingly large, but the rules are insanely strict - this is definitely a site catering to RV campers not tent campers. We were admonished for having 3 medium tents on a site that easily could have facilitated 5, while nearby RVs had their unit, a screened gazebo, a regular tent, a shade tent, multiple cars, and jetskis on their sites. Most of the RVs here seem to set up camp for weeks at a time, meaning there is a LOT of ambient light from their laser shows, footpath solar lights, fairly lights, etc.

  Other reviews I read online warned the bathrooms were bad - if you get the north loop the bathroom is passable. Cinderblock walls, and ineffective fans make for a pretty swampy experience, but it IS a camp bathroom. The main bathhouse really is disgusting, even by camp standards. It is the one the day trippers can use when they come to the beach, and it shows the wear. Many of the stalls don't have doors, several toilets were totally clogged, and there are June bugs and mosquitos swarming the place.

  The beach is great, removed and uncrowded even with the day trippers, the access to Lake Michigan was definitely appreciated in July!

  We did pass by the hike-in rustic sites and they looked great. Situated at the top of one of the dune hills, very forested and removed from the nonsense RV campers bring, I'd be willing to come back and try these sites.
