Spaulding Lake Campground

This campground wasn't as nice as the pictures online and we had some very inconsiderate neighbors. We had a pull through site across from the bathrooms (which I hate being near the bathrooms). The neighbors in the site behind us on the corner wanted everyone to hear their music, the revving of their motorcycles and constant yapping of their 4 dogs! It seems like a lot of day workers stay here - maybe road crew or nuclear power plant? - not the typical campground guests. The bathrooms were nice and clean but it didn't make up for the rest. We were only supposed to be there one night, but we didn't stay - left after just 5 hours. Couldn't take the redneck vibes. I wouldn't stay here again.

Nice place. Very quiet. Kinda used to a park with a lot of activity so it seems dead but everyone is friendly and nice. Well maintained. They don't gouge you for firewood and stuff like that

We have been fulltime RVers for 5 years and visited almost all states. This Campground is the WORST place we ever stayed at. The Campground Hosts are absolutely horrible and the very reason we cancelled 2 nights as well as our neighbor that had a weekly rate and left after 3 days all to do with these hosts. They have a power trip, Patrolling sites at night, watching every move we do. The guy host drives thru sites fast and loudly daily. I got reprimanded by having my car parked a couple inches over the grass yet their golf carts have tracks all over the grass area in the park. The so called dog walk trail is around a burned trash area, no trails. I notice these hosts watch the out of state campers and treat them like children. Like numerous other reviews they come over and bang and I mean BANG AND BANG on our RV for some trivial question. No dog park, no pool and no amenities for their expensive nightly, weekly and monthly rates. Someone could pay me $ to stay there and NO WAY I would ever stay there again. If you like Gestabo like hosts go there. The worst part is the owner knows about all these complaints and keeps these campground hosts employed.

We travel all over the country for work, and this park is definitely one of the best. It’s quiet (other than a little road noise), clean (the laundry room is cleaner than our own at home!), peaceful (great for nature lovers), and the owners and caretakers clearly take pride in the property (they are constantly outside keeping it clean and well maintained). Unlike other parks, there are no loose animals, there is plenty of space between spots, we felt safe walking throughout the property, and there are no old property eye-sores that exist at many other RV parks. We will definitely be back, and we are so thankful for the kind folks who work here. *Also, it rained several days while we were there, but our spot never flooded. The sites are well-graveled and level.

Spaulding Lake Campground Niles, Michigan: This campground gives the appearance of being a bit older and well established as you enter.   That doesn't mean that it's not well kept, because it is and the host we met was very pleasant. We had a pull through site and our site, like others here, was gravel and reasonably level.   Being almost 70' long It was just a little bit short for us to comfortably park our truck with our rig so we parked in a parking section directly across from us. During our stay it was pleasantly quiet and our 50 amp full hook up utilities were consistent throughout our stay.   Each site that we noticed had a fire ring and a picnic table alongside them.  There is also free WiFi here as well but like most campgrounds, it isn't the strongest or most consistent. They list having four lakes but they are really just large ponds, good enough for kids to drop a fishing line in but we sure weren't going to put our kayaks in just to go in a 100 foot circle.  We also walked the hiking trails that they say they have. Unless we missed something, most of them were only clear for a hundred feet or so and then you could not go any further. This campground has one of the largest playgrounds for kids I have ever seen and multiple places to walk your dog on a leash. There is no fenced dog area for playtime though and no pool.  There is a rec hall, but it looks as through it's full of stuff and hasn't been used for awhile.  The bath houses were clean and well maintained and the office has a very small  store for camping items. All In all, we wouldn't mind staying here again when passing through.

Long pull through sites, quiet campground with fun old fashion shuffleboard. Prices are great and it is nice they space campers out when they are not busy. Bathroom were clean.

I will start with the good. Most of the sites are pull through and easy to get into. As far as I know, they are all full hook-ups which is always nice. There is a decent little park for kids and fishing ponds which is a big hit with our son. They also have a laundry room that is clean and efficient. Now for the not so good. The reservation includes 2 people, so if you have kids, it's an extra $5 per kid per night. Some of the sites face each other, so you sharing the space in between your campers. That works great if you know the people next to you, but not so much when you are sharing your space with strangers. If you need wifi, you won't get it here. Getting connected and staying connected to the wifi is impossible.

This could be so much better. Many sites are face to face. Thus puts 10 feet between you and the neighbors, sharing a common space. I don't camp to sit nearly under my neighbors awning. Many long term campers here, plenty that seem no longer road worthy. Our neighbor seems to have adopted a stray cat, but to keep the chipmunks from being cat food, the neighbor has thrown approximately 100 moth balls under their camper. This is a horrible smell, that spreads out very easily on humid evenings. The rates are for 2 people. Kids are extra. Visitors are extra, and for a limited time. The amenities are minimal. The only saving grace are the fishing ponds. I would say you get what you pay for, however they're rates are above the cost value for the location and quality.

Loved this place! Will definitely go again!

Wonderful quaint and quiet place. Beautiful and clean. Nature trails, fishing pond and super helpful, nice staff. Arrived here late at night after being very unhappy with a different campground and the woman on the phone without hesitation allowed me to drive in and find an open site at this campground and settle up in the morning. She was more than accommodating and we were so thankful. We will for sure be back. There are trees throughout and so peaceful.
