Our family had a great time at Sun Retreats Gun Lake! It was our first time here and the staff was super friendly. Our son needed to complete a day of online driver Ed training and the last at the Cafe made sure he had access to the store at 8am so that he could access a table and the wifi. She was so kind! The food we ordered at the onsite Cafe was delicious. We had burgers, pizza, walking tacos, drinks, and ice cream! The facilities are very clean and well kept. Showers were clean as well as bathroo stalls. The playground was well taken care of and offered lots of fun. There were games tonrent from the store as well at no cost. Shuffleboard, basketballs, pickles all supplies, and more! They had onsite crafts and activities for the kids. The only downside was that the weather was lovely and the pool was empty and wouldn't be opening for almost the entire month. A campground we like just north of here has their heated poll open and running already. A missed opportunity for certain.

This campground is located just off US-131 conveniently located between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. Though you can hear some traffic noise, it is not bothersome - a reasonable price for the convenience of the location. The grounds are meticulously maintained. We had a level concrete pull-through site with ample room for our tow vehicle. Staff was pleasant. We were there mid-week during the off-season, so we can't comment on the activities. We were able to use our Passport American Membership.

We stayed in early May and the park was absolutely packed. I was impressed how clean and well kept everything was. There are a lot of rules and you could tell. There were no out of control golf carts with yelling teenagers or rowdy drunk adults. Everybody was courteous and polite. There are a number of seasonal sites but you have to look hard to find them. They are interspersed with the rest of the community and are maintained very clean and orderly. This was a nice surprise. Our site was paved, level, and was easily wide enough for our camper and stairs. We did not have a patio but our "lawn" was nicely maintained and spacious. The hookups were in good working order except for the water. We had 2 hose bibs; one leaked slightly and the other needed a screwdriver to turn it on. We used the one that dribbled with no issue. I liked that the connections were not low on the pole. The pole was strangely placed at the front of the site next to our truck. Water was not an issue but I had to break out the 50amp extension cord to reach. I should be happy I got a workout! The sewer connection was PVC and in good shape. Be forewarned the place is a maze. Keep the map in your vehicle. Finding sites is not a problem because there are signs, however leaving is another issue. There are no "Exit this way" signs. In an emergency it could be a real problem. I found by total accident that if you fire up Waze it will guide you out of the park. Google not so much. If I had one thing that annoyed me the dumpsters are only at the front by the office, on the way IN. When you are leaving with camper in tow you have to swing back into the incoming lanes to drop your trash and do a U-turn in the parking lot to head back to the exit. For such a large campground to not have a trash repository in the back near the store and bathrooms seems a missed opportunity. We will come back this is a very nice park! We camped at Sun Retreats Gun Lake in a Travel Trailer.

Great campground/RV Resort. Lots of amenities. We stayed on off season so the price was reasonable. Friendly staff. Nice area and plenty to do in the surrounding areas. We had to do laundry and 2 out of the 6 machines were broken. I used their shower and the showers weren't impressive. The grass was long like it hadn't been cut in a while. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We always have fun when we visit. Family has a seasonal lot and we enjoy the games and events on the weekends. Like the Poker Run (photo attached). The pool is generous and they have a splash pad for kidos. And a few dog walking places for a stroll.

First time camping here and I can’t say enough good things about it! Blueberry pancake breakfast they did this morning was fantastic- well organized, clean, friendly staff and good food. I even saw staff enforcing rules (dealing with unsupervised out of control kids) at the pool which I appreciate. Facilities are very clean and very well maintained. We checked in after hours and that too was very well organized. Overall excellent!!

Fun place to visit. We visited friends that were staying there. I bit pricey as a visitor ($5.00 per person) but our family enjoyed the pool and camp store. The grounds are very clean and the grass was nice and green.

We loved this place. There is plenty to do for kids and adults. The sites are level and spacious with lush green grass, pinic tables and fire pit. Their store is well stocked and have a small restaurant too. They have activities for adults and the kiddos too. There are waterfront sites and a fishing pier too.

We stayed at the this campground last month, and absolutely loved it. Since my husband is working from home, and my kids have been doing homeschool because of COVID, we have hit the road and been traveling as much as possible. It seems like a safer solution to stay in cabins and on campgrounds as opposed to hotels so that's what we have been doing. We have stayed at several campgrounds and this by far was one of our most favorite. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin which was set up great, had a lot of space (we are a family of 5 with 2 dogs), and an awesome screened in porch that was right on the lake - so peaceful. My kids loved the bunk beds. This was one of the cleaner cabins we have stayed in . The property is beautiful. The activities are well thought out, and very fun for the kids. The one lady (taller one) that runs most of the activities makes the experience that much better - she is so sweet and has fun with the kids. They did everything from rock painting to bingo to sports games. The amenities were all super clean. The staff was excellent. Definitely worth renting the golf cart if you come. I honestly can't think of any negatives. Thank you so much for making a memorable trip for my family :)!

Perfect stay with kids. We paid $35 per night for 2 nights after our Passport America discount. Full hookups. 50amp, water (48psi), and sewer. Roads are paved and plenty wide for turning and maneuvering even our big 42ft 5th wheel. Sites are flat, level cement pads large enough to back in with plenty of space in front and on the side to park. Grass surrounding the sites was well manicured. The whole park is clean and tidy. There were lots of kids when we stayed (last few days of summer) but that's a good sign for us since we have little kids. We enjoyed the pool and the trampoline. Location isn't right next to very much but it's just a short drive to a Meijer grocery store and we found plenty of fun things to do within a 30-45 minute drive. We love Sun RV resorts. They're always some of our favorite stays!
