Tawas River RV Park in Tawas City, MI | Riverfront Camping

The manager is very rude and disrespectful. He flew out of the office door ready to fight swearing yelling and very disrespectful. He was very verbally abusive.

This place should be shut down. It was so run down. nothing like the pictures. people living in dilapidated campers. There was a chicken coop in the site we reserved. were informed by one of the residents (also a trailer park) there is no manager. No one to call/ office permanently closed. I called the number & left several messages no one returned my call. Bathrooms disgusting. poop spread all over shower stalls. We were afraid to stay. & leave our camper during day trips in town. paid $230 for nothing. no one to contact about refund... A chicken coop was in our lot. we couldnt stay if we wanted to.

SINCE WE RENT THE LOT THE TRAILERS ARE ON. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO NOT ONLY MOW THE PARK BUT ALSO THE LOTS THE TRAILERS ARE ON. SINCE EVERYONE IS JUST RENTING.  IT IS THE PARKS RESPONSIBILITY TO ALSO MOW THE RENTERS LOTS AS WELL.

The Manager and maintenance are only in the from 10:03 to 2:00 2:30. When did the office hours change?

I recommend you not live here at all I have had a wall in my trailer that I’m RENTING caving in my floor is molding because my wall is leaking so bad my ceiling right above this wall is now also leaking this has now been about 2 months and the manager won’t call me back her husband got super rude with me this is getting unsafe and the ceiling is wanting to bust because it has so much water

no management communication they work Tuesday and Thursday if you're wondering and will not return your phone calls. you pay on rover pass website go to a random spot cause your spot is probably taken. they turn off the water in November, I suspected they would turn the water off but its not stated anywhere on rover pass, their website, or the office. they have serious plumbing issues at the park urinals are filled with black water and the showers drain to a main drain that is clogged so the bathhouse is useless. Long story short if you plan to stay here make sure its in the summer and make sure your camper shower works.

Sewerage flowing on the ground. Urinals in bath house leaking on the floor. Manager very accommodating and helpful. Nice location.

DO NOT GO HERE! This park is owned by Clear Trail Realty in Richmond, VA. I made a reservation over 30 days out on 6-28-24 and due to unforeseen circumstances, cancelled it the next day. Per their cancellation policy, 100% refund up to 7 days prior to reservation date. They have refused to refund my money as of 8-12-24. My credit card covered my loss. On site mgr said that this happens all the time. He once had to argue with the owner for 6 months to refund a $1300 charge when the customer refused to stay at the park because it was a dump. My loss was only $116. RoverPass, the online booking intermediary, was no help. They state that they do not manage any refunds. Thank goodness we didn't stay here.

This campground was disappointing to say the least. Bathrooms were nasty with fruit flies no toilet paper either. The dump station was in poor condition. The non potable water didn’t even work. Our electric box didn’t work we had to use the box next to us. The bugs were awful! There was raw sewage there as well. It smelled so bad. You’re also in a trailer park with condemned trailers! The park was in bad shape as well. The site we reserved wasn’t even vacant! 

This park was the Worst place we have ever stayed at. We counted 12 condemned park homes.  They advertise Wifi but there was none. The bathhouse was dirty and disgusting.  With it being a holiday week camping spots were hard to find elsewhere but I would never suggest this place. They should have paid us to stay there. There is absolutely no way this place is worth $50.00 a night. I will be filing a complaint. 

I cannot believe how run down and un kept it is now. Used to be a noce looking park this is sad and so is the condition of both sides of this park!

Just an average trailer park. Nothing stands out except it is by the river. Personally i think they should have a small playground for the children residents.

Nice and quiet just like an RV park would be. Also clean and nice people.

Place is nice clean and quiet . Bobby the grounds keeper has been very helpful on every level and is dedicated to the park. John and Cindy appreciate our compound.

My mom used to live here. She owned her own trailer. Sadly, her "lot rent" would increase EVERY month! Their excuse was her "water bill kept increasing". Which is BS! She was a single handicapped senior citizen. She did not own a washer.....her "water bill" was at least 10times more than mine....I have children in my home. That excuse is ludicrous! Her lot rent ended up being over $400! As I said, it increased EVERY month!

Yes there is a trailer park across the canal, but it was the best experience as campers we have ever had. It's quiet, the bathrooms are always clean, the showers are hot. The canal gives water sports people the option to go to Lake Huron or to Tawas Lake. We took the Lake Huron route. As a beginner kayak user, this was something we really enjoyed. The manager let us use 3 lots for our stuff, which was really nice. If we are ever in the area again, this is were we will stay. No it's not KOA, the trade off is well worth the stay. They are super dog friendly, the walk areas are always clean.

We have rented a seasonal site. I was first impressed by the friendliness of Kathy who is manager of the park.  She took excellent care of us and all our questions  and concerns.  Then I was pleased to see that the bathrooms and showers were clean.  The people around here are super helpful and nice to talk to.  I have never been somewhere where I felt so welcome.  Although the park has aged and needs some work.... Kathy is tending to it with improvements all the time.  You can't beat the seasonal rate. We are planning on being here for many years.
