Oscoda-Tawas KOA

With reservations available through the KOA system, Oscoda-Tawas KOA accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. The campground operates seasonally from mid-May through early October, providing drive-in access to both RV sites and tent camping areas. An active railroad track runs along the front entrance, with trains passing through occasionally at night, though Cynthia K. notes "we only heard it at night two times. It didn't run on the weekend."

Sites vary in configuration, with some back-in spots offering 30-amp service positioned near marshy areas. Summer foliage can obstruct marsh views from certain sites, while bugs become more noticeable during warmer months. The campground fills to capacity on weekends, though campers consistently report that quiet hours are enforced. Clean restrooms and shower facilities receive positive mentions from visitors.

Family amenities include a small swimming pool, playground equipment, and a recreation room for children. A camp store stocks basic supplies on-site. The facility offers seasonal RV storage for long-term guests and maintains cabins in addition to standard camping sites. While the campground doesn't provide direct beach access, Lake Huron beaches require a short drive from the property. For additional options in the region, campers can explore campgrounds near Oscoda along Michigan's eastern shoreline.

Numerous guests pointed out excellent family amenities and clean facilities at this well-maintained KOA. Train noise from adjacent tracks was commonly mentioned as disruptive, especially at night. Staff friendliness consistently earned praise from visitors.

Great Campground

My wife and I stayed at the Oscoda/Tawas KOA for 7 nights in the first part of Sept 2021 at RV site # 10. The site was level and adequately spacious. The campground has a fabulous rec room for kids, although we had none with us, and an outside playground with a jungle gym and other amenities. There are also cabins that we did not see inside but that appear to be well appointed. The park staff are friendly and were very helpful at check in time and in giving us information about long term stays. They also provide accommodation for storing RVs for those who book for the season.

The best!

This is my favorite camp ground! The facilities are nice, there is tons to do for kids, and the owners are awesome! The beach is not on property but a close drive away and they do have a pool. Anything you need you can get at the camp store. The train does run late and sometimes in the middle of the night but the conductor comes and stands on the platform and waves to all the kids! It was an awesome experience.

Very nice campground!

Very nice campground off the beaten path. Oscoda is on the East side of Michigan off Lake Huron. Northern lower pennisula. This campground is a good base camp for the area.

We had site 53, which is a 30 amp back in site. These sites are by the marsh. Unfortunately, we had no clear view of the marsh due to summer foliage. Bugs were buggy, but it's summer. There's a train track by the campground, but we only heard it at night two times. It didn't run on the weekend. The campground was full over the weekend, but everyone was very polite & quiet hours were enforced. Bathrooms & showers were great. Very clean. They have a small pool, playground for the kids. The jumping pillow was down- covid precautions. If we're in the area, we'll stay again. We camped at Oscoda/ Tawas KOA Holiday in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful

The only complaint I have of this is that there is an active train track that goes through the front of the campground at the entrance. It came through at about 1:30am when I stayed.

We we stayed at the site right behind the office
