I was so excited to bring my sister here, to see the fish. First we were charged $7 to come into the place, and then to find out most of the park is closed. My family and I are very disappointed. When we asked the lady about they did not offer to return our money. No one pays $7 to see a few fish and a fake effel tower.

It's a cute riverside park located in a campground, with a small Eiffel tower replica. The trail is nice, but not always open. There is small fee for a daily pass to the campground. It's a nice stop if you're heading between Big Rapids and Hershey or Reed.

This was such a kind and hospitable campground. The staff and other campers felt like friends by the end of our trip. We were able to get on the river right from the campground. Very clean bathroom facilities. Beautiful mature trees around the sites. The park is a great amenity to have right on site, with a well maintained volleyball court. Beautiful landscaping. Overall amazing vibes.

This was a great medium size campground. They have all kinds of sites for tents full hook up to water n electric to full rustic. This owned by the city but you would never know it, it's maintained by a family who are wonderful and very friendly and they do a great job keeping it clean bathrooms are the cleanest IV ever seen at a campground they also provide shower chairs which is great. It's not expensive either however something that is not posted on the website and should be is that on top of what you pay for your campsite, and is not included in that base pay for ur stay and has to be paid when you arrive is a $7 a day parking fee, however if your going to be visiting this park again or any of their sister parks I highly recommend getting the annual pass for $35. and you are in the country but yet close enough to either reed city or big rapids if you need something. I also recommend during your stay to make the small trip to reed city and have a dinner at the depot ice cream shop their food is amazing and pretty cheap. The campground also does special events on the weekends that are fun and they are trying to raise $ to get their 3 trout ponds fixed, which 1 is sit up and going and you can go and see them and feed them which is great for the kids and hell even us adults have fun doing it. Enjoy your stay.

Super nice out of the way county campground, diverse campers, with great staff for 2025. Safe for everyone, in these uncertain political times. Great cabins, well kept swimming area, and super nice tubing service. Bathrooms are old but clean and functional. Well groomed hiking trails, and they are restoring the fish ponds! Activities for everyone.

I love stopping at this park for a swim & a short break as I bike pack the white pine trail. Entry is free for bikes. The river is shallow but the water is always refreshing!

It says it's a County park, but the campground nextdoor was collecting a $7.00 Parking fee-because they had a chain across the free parking area. The Fish hatchery was nice & for .25 you could buy fish food to feed the Rainbow Trout. It was a crazy feeding frenzy! The Effiel Tower wasn't terrible big...but we had a fun photo opp. It was in the very back. The other part of the hatchery was closed & so was the Indian statue. Overall we had a good time...but it is a good Roadside America stop! An Osprey nest is, also there.

It's such a well kept campground! Every spot has a fire pit and tables. I Love this place! I highly recommend it

A very nice and unique park. You have to truly seek it out though because it’s a bit off the beaten path and at least 20 minutes away from US-131. They have the very interesting model Effiel Tower as well as a small pond with benches and a playground. It also sits right along the river with a nice view. The park however is not open in the winter. Although it’s a cute park I would not pay any admission fee to see it. However if you’re in the area of Paris, it’s about the only thing worth seeing near by

Brought my Troop to stay. The staff was really nice and helpful. The park is small and compact. We brought my private camper and the site was level. One of the best parts of the park is its all inclusive tubing and they provided transportation to the beginning of the float and it ends at the park! The park is part of an old fish rearing facility so it has a ton of history. We had a great time.

Great location for our needs. We camp here every year for fair. It is reasonably priced. With being at the fair all the time I wish we were able to enjoy the park a little more though.

Love this park. Bathrooms are always clean. Kids love going to the hatchery to feed the fish and birds. Friendly staff. They have tube rentals and will take you to a drop off point and you can float back to the park.

We spent 3 days at this campground and really enjoyed it. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Sites are well marked, level with easy access to water/electrical hook-ups. Very clean bathrooms too. The fish and the mini tower are cute. We also enjoyed sitting by the river. This is close to Reed City and is connected to their rail trails for bikers and runners. We will recommend this to friends. Thanks for a fun visit.
