It's a small campground for RVs and tents, with a place to put in your boat, and you can even rent a dock while you camp. It's very convenient. It sits on intermediate lake, with great views and it's not far to walk into town or drive into belaire, Alden, or charlevoix. It's got great clean personal bathroom/showers on both sides of the building and there was never a wait even though it was a full campground. It was quiet after ten, so it was relaxing and I enjoy it every year we visit!

The managers here are the best! They were awesome and came and talked to us. So welcoming. Everything is clean and this place gives off such good energy and such a peaceful atmosphere. A diamond in the rough!!! I’ll come from Ontario Canada anytime if I can come and stay here!!! Thanks again!

Such an amazing campground! I took my nephew with me to go camping and help with an art show nearby. It was an absolutely PERFECT campground for us. Great clean private bathrooms. Park managers were absolutely great! Everyone at the campground was so friendly and helpful. I am already looking at my schedule to book again!

What gem of a park and campground. Nice sites... ours was grassy, wooded, right across from a natural spring and near the lake. There a good number of bathrooms and showers that were always very clean. The camp host, Ron, was always present and looking after things.. he was friendly and helpful.

Very nice park. We had a site on the water. It’s so nice to fall asleep hearing the water lapping and wake up to a sunrise over the lake. The sites are pretty well packed in, but neighboring campers were very friendly, so there were no issues. We were there for Labor Day weekend- the park was full but quiet. The bathrooms were very clean. Management was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this campground.

very nice campground. And nice hosts as well. being a city park it's patrolled by the police so no riffraff here. Clean modern bathrooms and showers and Wi-Fi. sites are electric only but there is water nearby

Great campsites on northern end of Intermediate Lake and just south of the bridge crossing Central Lake. Has a boat launch & docks for guests boats. The water fill station & bathrooms are very well maintained and clean. The city park is connected and has playground equipment and a swimming area. Walking distance into the quaint village of Central Lake which has a community event every Tuesday during summer. We loved this central location while we kayak the upper chain of lakes. The managers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

Loved this campground!! We had a camp spot near the water and a babbling brook. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The camp sites are well cared for. Very clean bathrooms with everything I could ask for. Big shower with a hose attachment, a folding seat in the shower, lots of handles to hold onto (very very handy as a disabled person!!) Also a fan always on the floor to keep it dry. There's also a boat ramp and a playground. Every person I met there, staff and campers, were so nice and helpful. I'm definitely coming back. :D
