Nice, quiet campground. Was there on a Thursday night in April. My site was roomy, the bathroom and shower rooms were clean. Was going to visit Ford Museum in Grand Rapids. All in all, great experience.

The family that runs this are nasty people. The man that works there took every single opportunity he could to be rude not only to me but every single interaction I saw with other people as well. I will always regret not just leaving as soon as it was an issue, we will never come back here. We also paid extra for a waterfront site and they allowed one of their friends to come over and take over our site, while we were sitting there. The woman came up and said it was no problem that their friend was in our site. I wouldn’t have had such a problem with her being so close but she had a small dog that kept trying to bite my kids anytime we came anywhere near her and it was difficult to avoid her since she sat her chair maybe 2 feet from where my kids were playing. It also was not a situation where it was open or near a public area, our site was kind of fenced off in areas and it was very clearly marked. We’ve lived full time for 3 years traveling the country and never seen a campground run by a family like this.

Only used the kayak exit point. The campground seemed to go along forever along the river, with some beautiful (likely many seasonal) sites. Fair price to use their site to exit the river ($7/canoe, $3.50/ kayak). Porta potty when you get out was super grody though. Would highly recommend the trip from Middleville launch to their campsite along the Thornapple River. We took our time, made a swim stop or two, and it probably took us about 3 hours.

Best campground in the Middleville area. So much to do here. Bathrooms are clean. the campground staff is friendly, and so many people to talk to. Also they have fun events that happen on Saturdays. Would highly recommend. It is also close to Caledonia making it easy to get supplies.

We are pretty avid campers, so we’ve been to a lot of campgrounds around Michigan. Compared to others around the state, this was pretty lackluster. Their kayak rentals are fantastic though!! The gentleman who run that portion are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Camping portion, not so much. The main office lady really hates her job and it shows. Sort of kills the vibe for all the new campers coming in. It was different than any campground we’ve been to. They do have a playground but it’s quite outdated. Just teens hanging out mostly. “Beach” is about a 20x5 foot section of sand at the pond. Pool and shower options, but they are moldy and kind of gross. They have paved portions in each lot, which we found really nice. Fire pits are tiny, so plan on cutting your wood shorter than normal. All around, it wasn’t a nightmare but just disappointing. This might be a good option for an older couple who doesn’t want to use any amenities, it was nice and quiet. But I wouldn’t recommend if you have children or like to explore around.
