    Muskegon KOA

    Love this KOA!

    Sadly, we just left the KOA Muskegon campground this morning after a relaxing and peaceful three-day stay. While travelling home, plans are already being made for another camping vacay at this KOA. The staff were all friendly and helpful, creating a family-like atmosphere. The cabins were clean, updated, and the beds were quite comfortable. Our deluxe cabin bathroom and kitchenette were also stocked with amenities, making the stay comfortable and effortless. Outside our temporary home was our own gas grill, patio table with seating, fire ring, and Adirondack chairs. How nice it was for meals on the deck and campfires in the evenings! Every morning we looked forward to the 3/4 mile hiking trail around the lake... which was gorgeous. Although, we personally don't fish, we enjoyed watching other guests fishing from the shore and various docks regularly. There is also a fun area of the campground that includes playground equipment, basketball, volleyball, a jumping pad that looks like a blast, and they were setting up some interesting looking mining activity. We did spend time on their community patio overlooking a fabulous greenspace, fire pit, swim beach, and the lake. I could've spent all day on the patio with the relaxing patio lights, flowering planters, and comfortable Adirondack chairs. The camp store is again clean, updated, and well-stocked, but I was also impressed that the prices were reasonable, which is not always the case in these type of"convenience" situations. Overall, cherished camping memories were made this past weekend, and we are anxious to return in the near future for more! Thank you KOA Muskegon staff!

    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!

    Kal-Haven Outpost

    Great place to bike to, spacious cabins, amazing staff

    A group of us bike from Kalamazoo to South Haven every year using the Kal-Haven trail. We usually tent camp but tried a cabin here this year. It was the perfect option as the campground is right off the trail. They provide linens and have basic supplies (including firewood that they will deliver to your cabin) right at the general store. We also met a group that had hiked in to the primative sites and were using the trail to train for the Appalachian Trail. Everything is well-made and maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful (they even let us check-in early when we biked in ahead of schedule). Highly recommend for those looking for a place close to the trail and to South Haven. The cabins have three queen beds and a sofa sleeper so they can comfortably hold up to eight people (we had five in our group and I never felt crowded). There's a large table inside and two chairs on the porch. There's also a large picnic table outside, a fire pit, and a grill. They are hoping to expand and add cabins sized for couples in the near future.

    Muskegon County Pioneer County Park

    Beautiful and relaxing

    This campground is our home away from home in the summer! It is beautiful & very relaxing especially during the weekdays when it's not as full. The bathrooms are clean & the rangers keep up with mowing & other chores to keep the grounds clean. When it gets crowded the wifi doesn't work great & some of the campers are not very respectful; they cut through lots & don't abide by the rules (no pets on beach & no bikes or skateboards on boardwalk). The rangers get after them when they see it. Gets frustrating because it ruins it for others who care about the park. The only other downfall is there isn't much beach because of the high water table. I wish they could dredge & bring in more sand. Otherwise it's our favorite place to be!

    South Channel Campground

    Love it!

    Stayed here with our camper over the weekend, we loved it! We stayed on the channel side, and was right next to the pathway to walk to the channel. It’s very well maintained, fire pit rings, bath house, electric hookups, dump station, paved spots. It was close to The beach to Lake Michigan and the beautiful sand dunes right on the beach. We brought our dogs and stayed for two nights, it was a great place to start our camping season.

    Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

    Our first KOA

    We weren’t sure what to expect given this was our first visit. But overall it was a good experience. Delivery service of food and firewood was great. Trash pickup was appreciated. WiFi reception was a welcomed surprise. Showers and bathrooms were clean. If you go, be sure to reserve one of the sites with the paved patio, pad and provided grill. Very nice. Most importantly, it was very quiet after 9pm when everything closed.

    Downside - sites are a little cramped and the pool was very crowded.

Guide to Zeeland

Within driving distance of Zeeland, Michigan, camping options range from basic tent sites to deluxe RV accommodations across Muskegon and Ottawa counties. The region features several inland lakes and is just 10-15 miles from Lake Michigan's eastern shoreline. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-85°F with occasional thunderstorms, while spring and fall camping offers milder conditions with fewer crowds at most campgrounds.

What to do

Mountain biking trails: Fort Custer Recreation Area offers extensive mountain biking trails about 40 miles from Zeeland. "Lots of trails for hiking, horses and mountain bikes. Roads quiet and could easily ride your road bike to nearby bike paths," notes Janet N. at Fort Custer Recreation Area.

Beach activities: Grand Haven State Park provides direct access to Lake Michigan beaches and pier fishing. "The camp spots are flat, back to a playground (Amazing For kids) 3 min walk to the beach and pier," explains Tanner G. in his review of Grand Haven State Park Campground. Swimming areas are marked with buoys during summer months.

Winter sports: Muskegon State Park offers winter recreation options including cross-country skiing, sledding, and ice skating. "Across the road is the Winter complex, sledding, skating, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, and luge course. Our kids had a blast here, they have tons of bonfire pits as well," shares Melissa M.

What campers like

Private beach access: WaterTrail Ventures Paddle Respite offers secluded beach access along the Kalamazoo River. "I Loved this campground. It was beautiful with solar lights at night and a private beach. Great swimming, in a very private area," writes Karlina L. about WaterTrail Ventures Paddle Respite.

Family-oriented amenities: Hungry Horse Campground includes activities specifically designed for children. "We have two young girls and they had plenty to do all week during our stay. Multiple playgrounds, toddler pool and regular pool, jump pad, and lots of room to run around," explains Jeremy D. at Hungry Horse Campground.

Well-maintained facilities: Kal-Haven Outpost features clean bathhouses and convenient access to the Kal-Haven Trail. "The nicest bathrooms and showers I have ever seen at a campground. And the goats behind the entrance are very friendly!! Very close to downtown South Haven!" reports one camper. Sites are arranged to maximize privacy with wooded perimeters.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Most glamping close to Zeeland, Michigan requires advance planning, especially for summer weekends. "This campground is EXTREMELY hard to get into on the weekends. If you are planning a trip to Grand Haven State Park, be sure to log onto the State Reservation site six months to the date that you want to camp," advises Stephanie C.

No-alcohol policies: Several state parks near Zeeland prohibit alcohol. "This is a nice state campground with 211 sites in Holland. There is no alcohol allowed. It is hard to get into this campground so make your reservations early," explains Lydia T. about Lake Macatawa Campground.

Site spacing: Campground density varies significantly between locations. "The sites are close together but the ground is soft and flat. Choose a spot around the edge for some privacy," notes Jake N. regarding Pioneer County Park. For glamping accommodations near Zeeland, most yurts and cabins offer more separation than standard tent sites.

Tips for camping with families

Waterfront sites: Choose lake-view sites at state parks for easy beach access. "It is a great family campground, close to Lake Michigan and within driving distance of North Muskegon and Whitehall. Lovely camping in the pines within walking distance to Lake Michigan," shares Annette B. about Pioneer County Park.

Activity planning: Schedule around peak usage times at beaches and pools. "The tent camping (where we stayed) had the largest campsite I've ever camped on for tents. You can choose between no shade, some shade, or deep woods," notes a camper at Kal-Haven Outpost, highlighting the importance of selecting appropriate sites for family needs.

Insect preparation: Bring appropriate repellent for woodland sites. "The sites need mowing so lots of bugs, bring insect repellent," advises Cathy Y. about Fort Custer Recreation Area. Most luxury glamping options near Zeeland offer screened areas that significantly reduce insect exposure.

Tips for RVers

Hookup limitations: Many state parks offer only electric hookups. "Sites have electrical service only. Must use the dump station," notes VB S. about Fort Custer Recreation Area. Private campgrounds typically offer more complete hookups.

Site selection: Research specific site characteristics before booking. "Bigish shaded sites around site 98. Near relatively new bathhouse. 98 is near the road but it's not too noticeable except when the same loud obnoxious vehicles goes by every early evening," advises Renee G. about Lake Macatawa Campground.

Pull-through availability: Hidden Ridge RV Resort provides pull-through sites with full hookups. "All sites include a concrete pad, fire ring and full hook-up. 120/150 amp," explains Kathleen D. about Hidden Ridge RV Resort, which offers luxury RV accommodations closest to Zeeland with concrete pads and full-service amenities.
