This is our 3rd year at Oak Knoll and we love this place. The owners are kind and helpful; the other campers are friendly; the campsites are large and shady. The entire campground is well maintained including the clean bathhouse and laundry room. Lake access, across the street, is convenient and swimming there is delightful. Boating and fishing is convenient. We are already looking forward to next year!

Right off the bat the owners and his parents are super nice. Campground was clean and place for kids area to roam nearby. They also have Starlink internet, was most of the time had good connection. Which most campground don't have in the middle of no where. Only thing that I would complain is about the bathrooms. They were cleaned daily and had plenty of pressure for showers. Through needs to updated. There needs a private area to dress after showering.

Absolutely loved this campground. It is a family owned campground and they are working on updates. It was our first time camping there and it was perfect. They gave us a nice electric site to fit four adults that had two cars and tents. The campground was close to the Lewis Farm and Adventure zoo where we spent the day at. The campground was pretty quiet and easy to walk around. I loved that they did activities and had a hiking trail. Keep in mind cell service may be spotty but we enjoyed not having to pay attention to our phones and just be outside. We are looking forward to future visits to this campground.

This place is a hidden gem! Its a well kept campsite that offers eveeything from a place to pop a tent to renting their RV campers! Its clean and QUIET overall. They are central to everything needed! Walmart is within 20 min and Michigans Adventure is 15 min away!. Location is prime. We will be coming back again. We rented the Shadow Cruiser which was very nice. Only thing we recommend with the shadow cruiser is to bring pillow top sheets for a little more comfort but other than that minor detail this place is the bomb.

When you're at this family campground you feel like part of their family. We just got back from an amazing weekend here. Dave and Jenny were fantastic from the start. Jenny would host bingo at night and would drive to each campsite to see who wanted to play and it was a lot of fun! Dave is normally in the office/store and is extremely helpful! The store is packed with the basic camping essentials and brochures of activities in the area. Dave is also very good at providing recommendations for things to do as well and even offered to call a kayak rental company for us since we had no cell service. The campground itself I would day is a nice medium size campground with nice size lots big enough for two tents. Some sites are electric and offer water as well, but we stayed with a basic suite with no water of electric. Fire pits are on each site but one thing they didn't have which a lot of other campsites we've been to have are grilling grates that go over the fire pit. So if you're looking to cook your meals over the fire like we did you may want to bring one with. Bathrooms, yes this campsite has working plumbing and showers as well. While I was skeptical on their cleanliness I was very surprised by how clean they were and by campground standards they were extremely clean. The shower area had a nice changing area and the water was nice and hot. As far as things to do on the grounds itself. This place has a nice playground for kids, a volleyball net, basketball hoop, horse shoes, and corn hole. Also don't worry if you don't have the stuff for it cause you can borrow it from the main office. There's also a little hiking trail towards the back which has fun things to try and find a long the way. I've been to many campground and this one is one of my absolute favorites. The staff is amazing, the sites are well kept, and it's a great place to relax and have fun.

They put a Verizon cell tower on their property, which is viewable from the campsites and Big Blue Lake. It ruins that “Boondock” vibe you get me you don’t have cell service… I guess that’s the world we live in. You can’t escape it.

We are first time camper owners, reserved a seasonal site for next year, Owners are awesome! They are there to help with everything, can't wait to get the season started!

We had a GREAT stay at this lovely family campground. The owners are seriously so nice. We had previously booked a weekend here and had to cancel at the last minute. They offered to let us rebook for a different weekend so we wouldn't lose our deposit – it was so kind of them to offer that, because they would've been well within their rights to just pocket the money for the canceled stay. And can we talk about the fact that they offered to help us back in when we arrived? This is the first campground we've been to where we have been offered that. This campground is in a great location. We were staying here because we wanted to visit Lewis Adventure Farm (so worth it!) and this was just a 20-min drive away. It's also super close to many beautiful Lake Michigan beaches, and we had a wonderful time exploring a gorgeous county park nearby. We prefer campgrounds that have a more wooded/rustic feel and this definitely fit the bill. We had lots of trees and lots of privacy. Our site was big enough to fit our 30-foot camper, truck, and shade tent, with plenty of room to spare. Thanks for a great stay! We look forward to returning next summer.

Stayed in a camper Thursday, Friday, Saturday, left on Sunday. Nice owners. Nice site. I tried to sleep on the bunk bed the first night, but the thing you lay on is much too thin, making it very uncomfortable. I switched to the pullout sofa for the other nights. Could not access phone data. The free WiFi made it so I could barely watch a video on the lowest quality. You can pay for better internet, but I chose not to. I get it, internet costs money. Wait, does "Service" mean "customer service" or "internet service"? I think it's "customer service"...

Wonderful campground with amazing hosts! We had a full hookup site right next to the camp store and it was huge. The campground is very clean, the owners were out working every day we were there. We saw them grating the roads, chopping wood and cleaning every day. It's 15 minutes from michigan adventure and about 30 from Silver Lake Sand Dunes. We did both. I'm glad we found this place, we will be back. The owners were kind and helpful from the minute we got there. He helped me back my trailer in, they sold me some firewood even tho they were closed which was so helpful we would have been left without a campfire the first night, and they let me use their portal compressor to fill my low trailer tires. Highly recommend this camp ground, kid and family friendly, tons to do!

Friendly management and beautiful place with generous size wooded lots. Clean well maintained bathrooms with a general store for basics. Thanks for a memorable relaxing labor day weekend!. River though treacherous with the fallen trees was a beautiful experience. Lake access for sunset was as relaxing as you could possibly want! Dave was also very helpful with coordinating pickup from kayaking excursion.

It was a great stay! The campsite is big. The showers and toilets are basic, but very clean and functional. The owners are nice and friendly. It is close to a street (not a highway, just a small road), so you can very occasionally hear traffic in the night. Lots of trees around. We saw lots of birds in morning - woodpeckers, goldfinches, etc. Definitely recommend.

Safe, fun, clean, friendly, affordable prices in the camp store at this campground. My family and I have camped a lot of places and this is by far one of my favorite stays! Thanks for the hospitality and kindness! The whole campground staff you rock!
