cool place. 

Enjoyable with small children, nice sites

Family friendly easy with kids

Busy year round and hard to book. Nice facilities and just outside south haven!

Great place but difficult to book! 

Great place to go with non-camper friends as they have cabins.  Great place for kids activities.  Don’t expect serene beauty.  But DO travel to St Joe/South Haven/Saugatuck.  All less than 30 min and great scenery there, breweries too! Also, return in the fall and do the local orchards/pumpkin farms.  Halloween here is a cool experience too.

Plan ahead but go multiple times!

Although this campground has great amenities, a pool, clean showers, and good sites/cabins, it is hard to book. If you know you are going to come to this area and camp, you need to book it a while in advance. I have used a pop-up and there was good space between campers. When I tent camped, we had a great spot near the cafe, the showers are amazing over there, they are more secluded. Our tent spot had electric, water, picnic table and fire ring. We camped on the grass and there is gravel to park your car. This campground is a perfect place to stay when visiting surrounding towns and going to the beach. 

Don’t forget to go to Sherman’s!!

*There was a forecast or rain, don’t mind the tarp*

This is my top pick for South Haven

Nice location, kids loved all the activities they had to offer. Just a down the road from a hiking trail. Close enough to downtown South Haven.
