Eden Springs Park

This is a fairly low-end park on a busy street with no amenities (we didn't even have a table on our site...) The door of our camper was 2 foot from one of the primary roads on the campgrounds - when people drove past, dust blew into our camper so we had to close the door - bathrooms are clean as people state, but very old and run down. We won't be back.

I stayed here while exhibiting in a local art show, and while the staff was friendly, I wouldn't choose this place again. As a lifelong camper, I can't recommend it if you're seeking a true camping experience. The grounds are pleasant, but they resemble more of a parking lot made of grass, gravel, and scattered trees rather than a traditional campground within nature. It's also located next to a noisy road. There are electric and water hookups, but accessing the electricity was challenging. I had to navigate through spider webs and move insulation on the pipes that is meant to prevent freezing during winter (which I assume is left in place year-round since I visited in July). It felt as though some people might be living there, which made me uncomfortable, especially since I forgot my water shoes in the bathroom, only to find they had been stolen when I returned the next day.

Great campground! Seriously, the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a CAMPGROUND! At the end of the day, that’s what this is. It’s a campground. I’ve been camping all my life, you go camping for peace and quiet. Not always someone there to hold your hand And that’s how it’s supposed to be. The staff here are easy to get a hold of if you need them But you’re camping if you are not a self sustaining person or don’t like bugs maybe you should go to a five star hotel😉. We love this place and we come here every time we visit Michigan.

Called and left a message without anyone calling me back. Called to again, clearly the lady that finally answered and sounded like she was driving in a vehicle very unfriendly and simply said she wouldn’t have any availability for 50 amp units. I said I would be happy with 30 amp and she again refused was rude and simply said we wouldn’t fit in a 30amp spot without even knowing the size of our camper. It was very obvious and clear she didn’t want to book a site for whatever reason. Just an overall very rude and strange interaction.

Check-in was fantastic. I called ahead, and she had a map, instructions, etc. taped to the door when I arrived. The maintenance guy came over and introduced himself, then brought a fire ring and picnic table to my site. It's very quiet, with minor traffic noise. It's very pretty. The amenities & services are great, with nice hookups and clean bathrooms.

Great stay and prices! Shaded and level sites with plenty of room. Very clean bathrooms and showers, outside sinks/washing station for tent campers. Dog stations throughout the park. Train rides on weekends, historical sites with pics and info everywhere. Super unique place, highly recommend. We had an awesome time.

We enjoyed our stay here for a weekend. David, the campground host, was extremely helpful and accommodated our requests effortlessly. The grounds were well kept and maintained. I especially enjoyed there being a very clean bath house. We hiked at a nearby state park just down the road.

Eden’s campground changed their name to Siesta Campground in Spring of 2024. The owner Dave is friendly and on top of things. They used to be together with the RV park but now they are separate businesses. We stayed in a Cabin and it was clean but a bit outdated. It has A/C, microwave, mini fridge, and ceiling fan. There is a full size bed and twin and they are really uncomfortable. The bathrooms are clean and you need a code to get in. Overall we had a good time but I don’t think we would come back because the area outside the campground is not safe! At night all we heard was gunshots, police sirens, cars drag racing, and people playing loud music. If you have kids this is not the campground for you.

I'm not sure what provoked me to give such a low rating 5 years ago (I gave 2 stars) but I'm here to correct that huge mistake. 5 stars for how well this place is maintained. There's so much to learn with every visit. That said, I would LOVE to bring my 6 yr old there to check out The museum and then to ride the train but I really need to know their schedule/business hours for those 2 things, specifically. Does anyone have them?

Had a great time at the Holloween train ride. Great for young kids. Enjoyed some hot popcorn and talked to all volunteer staff helping to preserve this bit of local history. Looking forward to Christmas train rides.

PERMANENT RESIDENTS NOT friendly AT ALL. There are permanent residents that live there and their campers are a huge eye sore, not maintained none the less extremely rude. Did not feel safe. We pulled up after a 4.5 hour drive and let out dog out while we unhook the camper and got yelled at by the permanent resident right away for not having the dog on the leash, she is a loving dog and has never had any sort of aggression and literally just needed 5 mins so we could unhook the camper and get her leash out of it. The lots are extremely thin, although they are pull through if you have your dog on a leash it will easily go into the other camping area to which we got yelled at for that too by a different permanent resident. The people at the office are nice but the place looks much nicer in pictures.

Great little oasis! You’d hardly know you are in the middle of town! Staff is great-we LOVE the longtime camp host Cindi. She is literally THE BEST! Always doing everything she can to make everyone’s stay wonderful, not to mention she is just so sweet. ❤️ Be sure to check out the miniature trains train 🚂 while you are there! And if you’re lucky, you may even get to catch a vintage baseball game! ⚾️

Eden Springs Campground & RV Park in Benton Harbor, Michigan, run by camp manager Cindy, may well be one of our favorite small town parks! We are spending the month of August 2018 here and have found the venue quiet, well maintained, friendly and inexpensive ($375 for a month). I do not expect the prices to stay this low now that it has been “discovered”. They are working on adding an updated restroom, dog park and other facilities. The sites are large, level and spaced far apart from each other. We pulled in with a 42’ rig, pulling a 28’ hybrid trailer (total 70’) and easily pulled into our site without having to unhook. We had enough space to park a jeep in front of and and in back of the attached rig. The sites are designed so that no camper or RV faces a sewer connection. All of the hook ups are centrally located between two sites, with each rig having their driver side towards the hookups and their awning/entry sides facing the opposing side. Each site has a gravel space between them that could be traveled through, though campers all set up picnic tables, chairs and campfires there so practically there is no egress, thus privacy. This camp has the best WiFi of any camp we have ever stayed at. Some spots offer OTA TV and satellite reception. Ours did not as we chose to have a full tree canopy. Most of the sites offer Full Hookups with 30/50 amp service. The camp manager, Cindy, provides fire rings and picnic tables as requested, so, if you need either, just let her know when you call. The tables were clean and in good shape. The fire rings can be placed anywhere you want. As an aside, when a camper leaves, Cindy and her crew comes and removes the rings, cleaning up the residue so there is no mess left! The campground grass is cut routinely and “weed-whacked” as needed. Cindy has been one of the nicest hosts we have met on our travels. She is always pleasant, available as needed for emergencies and even delivered our mail one afternoon. She is a font of knowledge about the area and willing to share. Probably in keeping with her personality, the majority of the visitors here have been friendly, chatty and willing to help each other. The RV resort is about 10 minutes from St. Joseph, MI and multiple rural wineries in the area (a favorite pastime for my wife Audrey). St. Joseph’s is a small town located on Lake Michigan with excellent food, event venues and a lovely white sand beach. Be sure to stop at the Chocolate store in town & Silver Lake Pizza for a desert/dinner well worth the time. The town of Benton Harbor itself once was booming city/community, which has come into hard times, but we did not have any problems traveling around that area. This area also has a non-defunct amusement park attached to the campground which is being slowly renovated by a group of volunteers. They have restored several of the buildings, a fountain and a miniature train which takes visitors on a 1/4 mile ride on Saturday/Sunday. Additionally, the camp is home to it’s own 1800’s era baseball team which plays home and away games in the old bare handed style! Behind the camp is a now mostly abandoned religious enclave called the House of David which was started in the late 1800’s/ early 1900’s (Google it!). Some interesting architecture and several restored mansions for the 5 remaining members of the group. I recommend this park for someone wanting a quiet, clean stay.
