Review Update

Another year, another review.-My husband and I visit Ted Ranch every year for the NASAR race at Michigan International Speedway. This year, my review is changing a little bit. We like to camp with a little less noise and partying than the race track campgrounds have, so again, we stayed at Ted Ranch. We stayed Thursday night and I only slept a few hours because it was so loud! The noise wasn't fully from the campground though, MIS started a new music night this year at the M50 Creekside campground within the track and the music was so loud that we heard the bass and every lyric at Ted Ranch (which is a mile away from the track). The noise from within the campground was from golf carts riding around at 3:30 in the morning. We did speak with the campground owners and they ensured us it wouldn't happen again and in the future, we can always call them no matter what time. The owners are very nice and helpful, but there is still zero organization! They only accept cash and checks so make sure you have either! Golf carts are allowed and many people have them. There is still no bathhouse and only less than half of the sites are water and electric. Most sites are rustic. This is basically a field turned into a campground. We did notice that there were five or six old outhouse shells made into showers near the front of the campground!! Dogs are allowed and trust me, there are TONS of them around. There is one family that camps there every year and their dogs have charged several times. They are on a leash, but it is very scary as they are large dogs. There is a small pond, but I did not dare swim in it. There is a sign out that says "This water is not tested for E. COLI". lol. There are many seasonal sites and it appears those campers have been there for a long time! We will be staying here again next year, but I did want to warn others that you can hear the noise from the track and there are quite a few more parties than ever before. The fire pits are provided and can be moved. The campsites are very narrow and plan on your awning almost touching the person's awning next to yours! (at least at 100-112 sites).
