Groveland Oaks County Park
Overview
Groveland Oaks County Park offers a sprawling outdoor escape across more than 1,200 acres of preserved land in Oakland County. This park is widely recognized for its balance of natural beauty and structured recreation, making it a premier camping destination in Southeast Michigan. With a mix of full hookup sites and primitive areas, it serves as a versatile home base for travelers looking to experience the region's inland lakes while staying close to suburban conveniences.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Holly, MI, the park is conveniently positioned near major thoroughfares like I-75, yet it maintains a peaceful, rural atmosphere. The landscape is defined by the shimmering Stewart Lake, which provides a scenic backdrop for the campground and cooling breezes during the summer. The surrounding terrain features rolling hills and diverse flora, offering a lush, green canopy that provides both shade and character to the spacious RV pads throughout the property.

The park is a hub of activity with features designed for active travelers and vacationing families. Visitors have access to a large sandy beach and a popular waterslide that anchors the swimming area. Modern comforts and recreational facilities include:
- An 18-hole miniature golf course, a professional skate park, and modern playgrounds.
- Clean bathhouses, laundry facilities, and a well-stocked concession stand for convenience.
- Paved trails perfect for biking, walking, and enjoying the fresh lakeside air.
These features ensure that guests have everything they need for a comfortable multi-day stay without ever needing to leave the park grounds.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the park gates, the historic village of Holly offers unique dining, boutique shopping, and antique stores. The park is located just minutes away from Mount Holly, a popular destination for winter sports, and the grounds of the famous annual Michigan Renaissance Festival. For those seeking even more wilderness, the nearby Seven Lakes State Park provides additional hiking trails and fishing spots, making this a perfect central point for regional exploration.
Who This Park Is Best For
Groveland Oaks is an ideal match for families with children who appreciate a resort-style atmosphere with constant entertainment options to keep kids engaged.

We came here as a guests visiting Family (that had rented a site) for a Halloween event. I was delighted with how large and well maintained Groveland Oaks County park is. There are walking paths all throughout, wooden bridges, multiple playgrounds, a lake with a groomed beach, small arcade, cozy camp store, yurts, group sites, full hook-up or tent sites; you truly have a plethora of options available to you. My extended family has camped here multiple times, and they have enjoyed every stay. I would have no problem booking a site for ourselves, for a staycation, next summer after seeing what they have to offer.

We've stayed at numerous City and County parks. Many aren't in the best of shape but this park was an exception. Secure with sheriff patrols, large sites, easy to navigate roads, and great amenities for kids! Pro's: 1. Easy to book RV sites online. No added fee to lock in site. 2. Gated entry with manned guard gate on weekends 24/7. Daily patrols by local sheriff. 3. Ton's of amenities for kids and adults alike. Putt putt golf, Pump track, skate park, paddle boat/kayak rentals, fishing, playgrounds, etc.... 4. Concrete pads on most (if not all) sites. Back in, pull thru, and easy to navigate roads. 5. Each RV site has a small separate parking area for vehicles. No added fee for a 2nd vehicle with convenient parking. 6. Small boat launch area for small boats, kayaks, etc... 7. Fishing was pretty good. Quite a lot of bass, pike, and sunfish (bluegill, red-ear, etc...) Caught a couple 2lb bass and even a 3lber! 8. Beach area to take advantage of the water during hot days. 9. Group camping areas for large groups that might want to camp together. 10. All utilities worked great. Good T-Mobile service, and enough open sky to make Starlink work if need be. 11. Excellent staff and maintenance crew. Everything was beautiful! Con's: 1. They have have VERY pretty lamp posts that show site number at the WORST possible location on the RV Sites. I'm surprised more people don't hit these. We, like many, had to ask our neighbors across the way to move their trucks so we could back in without hitting the corner posts. They are pretty (especially at night when lit up across an empty campground), just in a horrible location. 2. Funky gravel road mixture that when it gets wet due to rain sticks to your tires and flings it everywhere. It tracks everywhere on shoes, tires, etc.. 3. Pretty far from Downtown Detroit if you plan to visit (approx 1hr away). If we ever found ourselves wanting to visit the greater Detroit area again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here!

Campground is nice with full hookups. Poor rating simply due to the fact that the site we had flooded after a half hour summer shower. Many of the sites on the southwest side of circle A flooded. The concrete pads in this area are below grade. Bathrooms are clean.

Nice campground. Some bathhouse could use updating & cleaning. Push button for water & you have to step away from shower to reactivate. No temperature adjustments & shower heads are about 7 feet up on the wall. Full hookup sites look close together, where all the other sites look spacious. Shade trees(fairly good sized) exist, but don't always cover the site. Beach is nice, but lifeguard needs another job. VERY mean & not good at dealing with the public. Was heard screaming at people for minor infractions. Holiday activities for the kids were nice. Quiet after 10 pm. We will go back again. Website could be a bit easier to navigate & offer better site pictures.

This is a gem of Oakland County that I wish I knew about years ago. This is the sort of campground that has everything you want, and nothing you don't. Little islands in a lake that are bridge accessible? Got it. The world's largest playground? Got it. Gaga ball pit? Yes. Camping store, rental boats, arcade (with Galaga machine, I mean come on!), large clean sites, clean bathrooms, skate board park, bike challenge trail, huge beach, friendly young campers with quiet kids, and a bajillion other things? Yes . There is almost everything to like and nothing to dislike about this place, it is literally one of the nicest camping places I've ever been to! And I talked to 2 of the ladies who are All Season state employees and they had a true sense of pride in this place, as they should. If you live in the area, and even if you don't, go for an overnight camp, or just a day trip, it's so nice! And take your kids, they will love it.
