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.

Truly a masterpiece of public service. Clean, open County park with far more family activities than any DNR property I've heard of, excellent stewardship of the native plants. The main drawback of camping here is twofold: the vehicles driving along the east edge, so those camp sites are likely less desirable. Guessing also the park is very much packed at peak times, with most everybody in close quarters. If you can attend when it's not busy, that is likely ideal.

Halloween Camping 👻 at Groveland Oaks was so much fun! We had a group site and shared a community fire pit. Our campsite for our camper which was nice and clean. The bathrooms/showers are not too far of a walk they were clean. The swimming area was nice, it does not go deep at all. There were lots of kids for the activities so the lines were very long. Bring your bike there is so much to do on your bike. The dance was a lot of fun as well. Can’t wait for next year! We went Sept. 14th. Lots of people decorated it was very cool.

We spent 5 nights here for the first time this past week. We were site 240 (elec/water) and our friends were 238. We had a 36 ft camper and they had a tent. These were a perfect set up for us to share the space. Lots of fun things for the kids! Great beach area, putt putt, tons of playgrounds, skate park, fishing and more! We were there Fri-wed. They had a guy bring different types of "critters"to see like snakes, frogs, birds. That was fun! We hadn't got to use the kayaks and paddle boats over the weekend we were there because of other things going on, the weather and they closed early one day. On Monday we went to use them only to find out they are not open during the week. Ours kids were devastated. It was the 4th of july week! You think there would of been extended hrs. Other wise we had a great time and hope to return. It just seems hard to get reservations.

We've been going to Groveland Oaks; for our Family and Friends Camping Adventures, for many years. It's always CLEAN; bathrooms and showers are nice and Clean. Staff is always friendly and helpful. There is all kinds of things to do (Put-Put Golf; Paddle Boats; Biking; and more). I LOVE Groveland Oaks.

Great, large campground for families, lots of Playgrounds. Also mini golf, basketball, gaga ball, fishing, paddle boat rental and plenty of area to walk around. Beach was nice, no concession stand open, almost looked like it was abandoned except the pop machine and bathrooms. Fishing was alright, all areas off the actual shore have so much seaweed and lily pads, you have a hard time catching fish and have a better chance of getting your line caught. Campsites near areas D and E are very spacious, unsure of other ares, assuming the same. The themed weekends were cool for the kids. Great for pets except our dog didn't like the sharp rocks at the campsite where a camper/ rv may park. ( lots of doggy clean up bag boxes around. Lots of police and employee presence. Unfortunately the worst part of the Stay was the cleanliness of the restrooms. The kids went into the men's room and 1 toilet wasn't working, another and feces on the floor, this was there for hours as kids made multiple trips thought the day. ( assuming an employee had already been contacted per discussion with other campers/ people near by) The women's was better but looked to be brown smears on inside of stalls. The rest of the campground was great and had nice views.

It's our favorite place to stay. VERY clean and well patrolled. Lots of activities for everyone, especially the kids. All sites have electric, water and lots of room.

Well cared for. Many great spots, the best ones available with a day or two notice. None are bad, but some are better. Good solid power - good voltage and amps. Some sites have slightly low water pressure (38 lbs vice 40+), but better low than high, right?!

I called prior to arriving, to make sure that I could bring my motorcycle. After being here a week, I was told that only 2 vehicles are allowed per site. I had to Park my truck in a share ride parking lot! Seems kinda petty to me. What if you have more than two drivers at a site? The female supervisor needs to stop micromanaging. I rented my site for a month. With my girlfriend's vehicle, I had to choose between my truck, or my scooter. I'm going to miss my truck. 😎

Not as well run as it used to be. No trash cans in group areas. New Reservations system is a mess. No one knows what are the rules. Noise, fireworks, four wheelers no control or enforcement. Addison oaks is now much better run.

We live 3 miles away but like to come camp with our group of friends. Great park for families and kids. Plenty of activities to keep kids busy. Park is well maintained and staff is friendly, including the sheriff deputy that was patrolling and stopped to chat.
