I would like to say thank you to all the staff at the Chinook Campgrounds for a great time my wife Kathy and I had. Starting with an easy check in process to get set up at our site. It is also very convenient to have a store, ice cream shop, food if you don't want to cook, and a very nice coffee / breakfast shop. Great location for fishing, tubing, and kayaking. The kids we saw there where having a blast in the bounce houses to the swimming pool disc golf and arcade. Some people may complain about internet connection but you are camping to be in the great out doors and disconnect. Remember relax and enjoy what nature has to offer walk around and visit with new people. Maybe add a miniature golf coarse fun for all ages. Thanks again and we will definitely be back.

One of the worst customer experiences of my life. We made reservations for tubing down the river two weeks in advance for 11:30 am. We arrived at 11:25, checked in, and waited for 45 minutes before we asked where we were in line, but they totally shrugged us off. Would not even listen. Very rude. We asked again at 12:45, and they still did not give us the time of day. At 1 pm, we went to the front desk and saw that our “slip” never got picked up. Once they realized, they put us in the BACK OF THE LINE. We did not get called up to load our tubes until 1:30, and we were not on the river until 2 pm. Yes, 2.5 hours after our reservation. I realize people make mistakes, but after our slip was found, put us in the front of the line or give us our money back or SOMETHING! Also, they NEED a better check in system. Many restaurants use an app to see where you are in line. It cannot be that expensive.

Went for a weekend getaway. Tubing was perfect no reservations needed. Trip took about 4.5 hours. Lots to do at the campground. It’s a very busy/loud campground. Sites were very spacious. You can order food and they will deliver it to your site.

Cute campground. Very crowded and smushed together. Not much shade over sites unless your seasonal. Great amenities for kids. Pool and bathrooms were kept very clean. Has a later checkout than most campgrounds which is so nice so your not in a rush to pack up as soon as you wake up. The general store across the street is a little pricy but perfect for odds and ends. Perfect for a quick last minute weekend getaway

I booked this place online and it was a breeze. Super easy and quick. We came 2 hours away. We were so excited. Tent campers. We had site 118. We loved the location, near the back, slight coverage with trees yet we saw some sky and stars at night. The ladies in the office were very nice and helpful, we got directed to our side easily and told about some fun things, they have pizza delivery on the grounds which we took full advantage of. It was affordable, delicious and hot! Quick too. Some campers next to us were respectful and nice, some were super loud and didn’t stop until 230 in the morning. Two nights in a row which made for a long night of no sleep. We took advantage of the tubing and it was so fun, 4 hours of floating down the Muskegon river with my family was great, waves from passing boats, turtles on fallen trees, waving at people and good music. Amazing weather too. What a good experience. Will do again. I recommend coming and trying. They have something for everyone, playground, ice cream shop, pizza delivery, basketball and volleyball, and an arcade, even a pool, oh and you can rent golf carts to get around. Super fun!!!
