My sister and I had a fantastic stay at Everflowing Waters Campground. We booked at the last minute, but they were more than accommodating — which immediately set the tone for a great experience. What stood out: The property was immaculately maintained — the grounds were tidy, lush, and well cared for. It was peaceful and quiet, exactly what we were hoping for when camping. The outhouse bathroom had been newly renovated — clean, fresh, and far better than typical outhouse facilities. The owner was friendly and flexible, making us feel welcome. If you're looking for a quiet, friendly, well-kept campground, this is it. We would stay again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to fellow campers seeking peace and simplicity.

As a returning camper I must say the new owner John is fantastic. Everything is very clean and upgrades done to restrooms are not unnoticed. It has been a pleasure staying here and we look forward to getting a seasonal pass for next spring/summer. If your looking for a clean, quite and we'll maintained property to enjoy some relaxation this is the spot for your next camping trip!!!!!

Campground location was the best part of our stay... sites arent private and are small/close together, campground is very noisy, out houses have no skylights or ventilation, are unkept and you need to bring your own toilet paper. Would go again only if nothing else in the area was available

Great experience at Everflowing. Price was extremely fair. Roughly 16 minutes from downtown Traverse City. The campground was pet friendly, extremely quiet and the owner was nice as well. If you are looking for a place to drop your camper and visit the local areas this is the place. They have a dump service that comes on Thursday’s. So plan accordingly. Overall great experience and I will be back.

We needed a site for a 3 night stay as friends were camping at another campground nearby. After googling I came across Everflowing Waters. We called the campground and asked if they could accommodate us. Dennis the owner was very nice. Told us to book through the website which we did. When we arrived we checked in and were told which site to pull in to. We were a little surprised to find out there is no dump station and no bathhouse or bathrooms. Two port a johns sit on the property (not the cleanest) We did have electric and water but sites are very close together. As we have a travel trailer the bathroom situation wasn’t a big deal for us but for those who tent camp you should be aware no real bathrooms or a place to shower. Another plus was being close to Traverse City. We did have a pleasant stay but sites being so close together (pretty much one on top of another) was a turn off. Also no dump station and no mention on the website they don’t have one. Probably should have asked those pertinent questions when we had the owner on the phone, camp and learn I guess!

We booked several months in advance and was quoted $475 for a two week stay verbally over the phone so we sent in our deposit. Camp site was really small and we didn’t have a fire ring which was disappointing but the campground was clean and quiet but we didn’t use the bathrooms so I couldn’t tell you how good or bad they were. When it was time to check out we got a bill for $800.00. We asked the owner, Dennis, why so much and his response was because we were at the local horse show and he charges people who participate in the horse show more. We responded that wasn’t fair we get charged more than the person next to us using the same type of campsite who wasn’t at the horse show. He then just said pay the $475.00. everything was cordial up to that point. The next morning we dropped the check off in the drop box and this is when things went south. He texted us and said never to return to his campground and we must be terrible in a grocery store and some other nasty stuff I would never say as a business owner. I feel he was totally trying to take advantage of us. When I got home I went to his website and checked the rates for the next two weeks and it was $35.71 per night (basically $500.00 For two weeks)with bold lettering saying to call for “horse show rates” so apparently he can rip people off and charge more. I would have paid an extra 25 dollars to avoid confrontation and move on but he wanted to be an A-hole instead. Don’t tell this man your business he will use it against you and get quotes in writing!

This is a beautifully maintained small park with water and electricity. The owner maintains grass paths back into the wild, and the foliage and scenery are breathtaking. A quiet creek burbles around the place - if you have the opportunity, get a sleep-inducing creekside site. The owner, Dennis, is a really nice old guy and is rather particular about keeping things quiet and clean -- by the way, there is no dump site or showers on site, there are porta-potties and an outhouse for campers. I understand you can shower at the state park. This lovely campground is right up the road from the truly beautiful town of Traverse City, Michigan. 26 foot Travel Trailer, August 2020
