We stayed at the Lake Macatawa campground in August. The sites are small, the roads are tight, the crowd is pretty loud, and the bathrooms/showers are a bit insufficient for the campground size.

This average campground is saved by the fact that it is in an amazing location. Not far from quaint downtown Holland and within walking distance to the large Holland State Park beach.

If this campground wasn’t this close to the beach then I would probably never return.

This park has become our go-to place. The location is very secluded, but also close to Mackinaw if you are in the mood to go out for dinner. There are also a ton of places to visit within about an hour’s drive.

The campground itself is clean and generally low key. Virtually no partiers running around until 2am which helps make it a truly relaxing place.

The most amazing part of the park is the water and how accessible it is. Even if you are at the Pines campground you are only about a 5 min walk to the water.
