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!!!

Booked a cabin for three nights, but loved it so much we stayed one more. GREAT experience! Kids loved the pool, basketball court & arcade. Plenty to do. Staff & anyone we met was so friendly. Even took our dog & she loved it. Will definitely be going again next year!

I give it a 2 and it’s only for our good spot. We were a group of 18 people and we got spot G19. Which was the most private spot in the camp. Here are the problems I found with the camp area: - Very weak in cleaning services - Only two bathrooms building for the whole campsite and the rest of the campsite was full of transportable blue bathrooms stations. - we went for a ride with tubes on the river. The river was full of big tree trunks that put us in enough inconvenience. They didn’t even tell us about these things, and how to tie the tubes together and didn’t even patrolled once. We were on the river for full four hours. - they were only accepting cash!! - the wood prices was 5times more than outside of the camp.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the camp ground over Memorial weekend 2021. We picked it because it was at about the half way point between some of our family members & it was reasonably priced. We found the office staff to b super friendly & enjoyed our stay very much. We reserved a large suite for this Memorial weekend before we left last year. The Morey Families. I would give 5 stars!

Quiet, fun place. Sites are Efficiently big enough to fit my camper and a tent. Kids loved the playground and arcade room. Pool was clean and respectful. Employees respectful and courteous. Delivered wood to my campsite.

What a cool secret! This was my first visit. A friend organized a tubing trip here. I felt like I walked onto a set of an 80s comedy. I was looking around for Rodney Dangerfield or Chevy Chase to come walking bye. The ambiance was amazing. I could only imagine how much fun it would be to experience that as a young person. Volleyball, horse shoes, corn hole, camping, and a playground were seen just as I passed. My curiosity spiked wondering what other amenities awaited campers. My experience was tubing though. They seem to be a well organized operation. The trip was a struggle for a very large group with obstacles and all, however I think a 4-6 person group would be optimal for that leg of the river. Overall I enjoyed myself, and would highly recommend this to people. My only regret is just finding it now.

Not a bad family campground. Nice playground, hayride and movie for kids on Saturday. They really are all about the river tubing on the weekends, kinda cater to that. Sometimes a rowdy crowd comes with the tubing. Bathrooms could use some updating but usable

We come here just to go tubing down the river. We do get a group site next to the pick up site . This site is away from the main campground but within walking distance. So I can't really say anything about the campground itself other than the office staff is very helpful and friendly. They also have really good pizza that they will deliver to your site.
