      Hoffman Lake Campground INC.

      June ‘26

      Thursday, June 4-8th, 2026. site M1&2 M1 and M2 are end sites with Check in was easy, pass/card left at gate 20/30/50amp, good source, share with M2 4 water spigots to share with 4 sites Waste cap at site, did not use. The site had thick green grass and well maintained. Fire pits are small, but worked well for the six of us. picnic table for 6.

      Great sites if you are camping with friends/family as you are back to back and close together.

      The view of the lake from the site changes as more campers arrive. The majority of the CG are seasonal campers, most of the lots are well maintained and the campground has plenty of shade and the birds are active. Huge old growth maples and walnuts throughout the campground provided a decent amount of shade during our stay.

      The restrooms are decent and very clean, 3 stalls and urinals with 5 showers in the men’s bathroom. The water was hot and a decent amount of room to change clothes and keep them dry during the shower.

      The pool looks very nice, we floated in the lake. The south end of the CG has a nice beach area with boat ramp.

      Prompt service from the owners when we had a few questions and the seasonal campers were extremely nice when talking to them!

      Outdoor Adventures Kalamazoo Resort

      Membership? No thanks

      Roads are seem to be dirt/gravel here (but most is really just crumbling asphalt), so even though most vehicles respect the 5mph speed limit (which is nice), you can still expect some dust everywhere. Oh, and some golf carts often seem to think 5mph doesn't apply to them.

      Kalamazoo Speedway is only 2.5 miles away, so if there's racing at night, you're going to hear it. It's not terrible, but...

      Many golf carts here, some with thumping music or ooh-gah horns going by in the evening. While before official "quiet time", it's still really annoying at 9 or 10pm. Be nice if they adopted a "your noise/music should stay on your site" idea like other places. ESPECIALLY the loud, music-blasting golf carts.

      Calling this a "resort" is kind of a stretch. The "lakes" (more like ponds) are in need of weed control. Sites along the main lake are often muddy, sinking campers into it. There's one playground there. A small beach, pool (was freezing on the Mem Day weekend), a mini-golf that needs some TLC and a somewhat pricey camp store. Not much different than your average, most basic KOA, except KOA doesn't require a $17K lifetime membership.

      They say there's trails you can walk, but I didn't see a single sign or map indicating where these were. Pointless without that.

      Stayed Memorial Day weekend. Roads could really, really use a grading or repaving. Lots of bumps, holes and dips. Makes it somewhat dangerous for evening bike rides. The idiots staying in site 158 with their kids singing (bad) karaoke was super annoying. Staffsecurity should have told them to turn it down no matter the time. (two nights, from about 8:30pm until 10:45pm.). I thought they had a rule about this? Their security car went by at least twice during this unwanted show, so why didn't they say something? I tried to call about it, but got no answer.

      The mini golf is a nice touch... it'd just be nice to see it maintained a lot better. It's pretty rough.

      This is a membership-only place. We had a promotional stay, but I have to say, I really didn't see enough value to want to buy in. Even if it was just a regular campground, we weren't all that impressed enough that we'd make a special trip just to stay here. I'd rate it as "ok", but there was no real "wow factor" here for us.

      I have to say the woman they assigned to us for the tour and sales meeting was very nice, pleasant, and no annoying hard sell. But then they send in the closer, and there's where the flurries of offers and discounts start, but once you get the discounts, you lose other options that you'd probably want. Is Outdoor Adventures worth it? Not to us, sorry to say. We like to camp all over, not just at a handful of specific campgrounds under the Outdoor Adventures umbrella.

      To Outdoor Adventures... you should really arrange it so campers can try out two or three of your campgrounds FIRST before trying to sell them. No way we'd join after only seeing/staying in one. Especially just Kalamazoo.

      BTW, their rental cabins (especially the largest ones) were really nice. I'll give them that.

      That's my honest review of the place as we found it.

      Amazing new resort! All paved and concrete- very clean and offers some amazing amenities! Less then 5 minutes to lake Wawasee (the largest lake in Indiana). if you have a dog this place is a MUST they have an amazing dog spa and dog park. The staff was also so friendly and helpful, made me feel right at home - I didn't want to leave. I will defiantly return!

      Pokagon State Park Campground

      Nice park from what I could see

      This is the second time I’ve been to this park. Neither time was I able to really see the park (kids), so that is the only reason I have it a 4.

      I really liked our campsite. We were in the middle of a circle drive and had the whole inner circle to ourselves, which was nice for the kids to play. It was a HUGE campsite with a fairly long back in driveway. The site was slopped, especially close to the power source. It was a bit annoying for us as tent campers but not so much that I wouldn’t rent this site again.

      We weren’t all that far from water, the bathhouse, and trash services as well as a natural water spring and a trail to hike.

      Angola/Hogback Lake KOA Holiday

      Horrible staff

      We couldn't set up a tent on our lot. Price is outrageous for visitors!! Staff is very rude. You rent a gold cart and they started yelling at my grandson who they had just sold an ice cream cone to that he had better not get that ice cream all over the cart.

      Mount Randall Campground — Warren Dunes State Park

      Quick overnite site 73

      Nice and quiet. Spots close together. We didn't have the time to explore at all, arrived late just stayed the night and left after we made morning coffee. Not gates or codes to get in. You do need a michigan "passport" but can buy it online. Bathrooms were nearby and very clean. Individual showers with locking doors seemed nice. No water at site 73 but it wasn't too far. There was electricity tho. Overall great stay-much better than a rest area!
