Beautiful setting with great amenities. We stayed in a luxury cottage and couldn't be happier with the layout and features. The whole family slept wonderfully. The kids enjoyed the hayride, jumping pillow, mini golf, and fishing. Great proximity to the Allegan State Game Area for trails.

We really enjoyed our quick getaway to Triponds... three days of relaxation and the kids were happily entertained the entire time. Six boys and we never had to take them away from the campground for entertainment. Clean campsites and friendly staff!

My family and I have been loyal visitors to Triponds for 7–8 years, often staying multiple times each season. We’ve brought family and friends along, recommended the campground to countless people, and I’ve proudly carried the Triponds sticker on my van for years. For us, Triponds used to be a happy place filled with tradition and great memories. Sadly, that has changed. Earlier this year, my mom was caught with her small dog in a cabin. For 5+ years prior, she had occasionally brought her dog and no one ever said a word—likely because she was a respectful renter who always left the cabins cleaner than she found them, and because the dog was usually with us at our campsite where dogs are allowed. When confronted, she didn’t argue. She offered to compromise (including paying a pet deposit), but management refused. She respected their rules going forward and left the dog at home. However, on her very next visit, my dogs were sitting leashed outside on her porch while we had morning coffee. They were not inside the cabin, not disturbing anyone, not breaking any clear rules. We saw staff drive by repeatedly but no one approached us to clarify expectations or ask us to move them. Instead, assumptions were made, and rather than addressing the situation directly, management waited until her next visit to tell her she was no longer allowed to rent from Triponds. They let her stay again, likely just to collect more money from her, and only informed her at checkout that she was banned. That decision felt not only unfair, but dishonest. This has devastated my mom and our family. Camping at Triponds was a tradition we looked forward to every year, several times a year, and to lose that over something so easily resolved with a simple conversation is incredibly disheartening. What makes it worse is the complete lack of professionalism in communication. The owner ignored a handwritten note asking for a call, ignored voicemails, ignored a heartfelt email, and only when I drove nearly 30 minutes to confront her in person was I able to speak with her—and even then she tried to pass me off to her reservation manager instead of taking responsibility herself. Triponds may still be a beautiful place, but the way management treats long-standing, loyal guests is appalling. We are heartbroken that this campground no longer feels like the family-friendly place it once was.

TriPonds is a family-oriented campground that combines lovely park feels with a charming campsite and resort... It's literally so beautiful and surrounded by the perfect touches of nature, with the layout having been thoughtfully done to allow for greenery and nature. Every detail was thought about to ensure maximum aesthetic appeal. They have unique attractions such as "the pillow," which appears to be some kind of colorful, inflated, trampoline-like structure- as well as more common ones such as kayaking and disc golf. They even have a very well-done mini golf course blending aesthetic landscape, a stunning water feature, and simple but sometimes clever course design. The rec room was nice for a rainy day. Campsites are nice- blending nature and woods and shade and subtle privacy with sunnier sections, open areas, gorgeous views, and landscaping. You can buy firewood right there, not to mention their camp store stocking family-friendly camping essentials such as bandaids and sunscreen, among more fun items such as merch, souvenirs, and snacks. TriPonds also has a small petting zoo that boasts adorable and well-mannered goats, chickens, and an endearingly introverted alpaca (I can relate!) They have cottages for rent as well. Check out TriPonds and I can almost guarantee you will find a slice of serenity when you stay at this peaceful and beautiful campground with a perfectly friendly and caring staff that really takes the place to another level of quality and leaves you feeling nothing but present, peaceful joy.

We just spent one week at Tri Ponds and had a wonderful time!! My grandchildren swam, went fishing, played on the playground, splash pad and jumping pillow!! They had so much fun!! We had ice cream in the store with a ton of selections!! We also had dinner there with friends with a nice menu of pizza sandwiches, chicken etc. Definitely one of our favorite campgrounds!! 3 ponds for fishing and swimming and a nice pool!! Also a petting zoo for the kids!! Just loved it!! Highly recommend!!

This is a great camp resort! It's not your 1980s campground! If you have kids, this is a great place to come! For a small fee the kids can jump on the bouncy pad all weekend, or do a game of putt-putt golf, rent a canoe, and more. They also have a few goats to pet and feed! They also have a delicious cafe where one can order many different ice cream and cold desserts and snacks on top of a delicious menu with rather large varieties of hot foods such as pizza, chicken wings, French fries, etc! (Not cheap, but delicious!)

We came here and camped in my dad's RV for the weekend. It was very nice, the grounds are beautiful. Only problem was I wish they had a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Our toliet broke and when we all tried to go into the public bathroom I had a hard time using it due to no wheelchair stall and no grab bars to help me onto the toilet. Other than that beautiful and lots of fun activites to enjoy as well.

First, i loved our site. We were back in the woods by the RC track. It was busy with kids, but i loved it. The pool was clean. The bathrooms were ok and served their purpose. The staff was always very pleasant and the couple of times we ordered food, it was good (but they forget to put in the sauces so check that before you leave the counter). The rest of the experience was a bit disappointing for the amount of money we paid. The roads are as big as glorified sidewalks and they are a free for all with no directions. They should be one way. Im sure the seasonals love all of the cars, campers, bikes and people that have to drive, ride or walk on their sites. The Wifi didnt work. The water pressure was a trickle. The wood was EXPENSIVE. $15 for 20 pieces and half of those pieces were kindling. The showers were gross. My husband didnt have hot water in his and we showered in the afternoon so that shouldnt have been an issue. Overall, it didnt suck, but we probably wouldt chose to come back.

We were on Site 51 which is near the small pond. It was clean and well kept, all sites had been mowed recently. It was a joy to be able to see and hear the kids riding bikes ,swimming, roller blading, and having fun. Parents and kids were enjoying their time together and kids were not sitting and playing on electronics. We will go back.

We love camping here! It's a yearly tradition for my 11, 8 and 6yr old now. They are so kid friendly here! There is a jump pillow (It does cost money to buy a wristband to jump.) a really nice big play structure, small splash pad, pool, ponds for swimming and fishing, gaga ball, pay to play mini golf **Take note, you do need two swimsuits or to clean the 1 really good with soap & water if you swim in the pond and the pool** Every day they offer activities like a chalk contest or wagon ride or fishing contest. They also have a store with affordable candy like 5¢ to $2.00. They also have ice cream and food you can order. You can get a regular campsite with water and electric hookups or even a full hookup site. There are cabins and cottages to rent too. While there are only 5 showers, I have never had to wait in line. There is a bathhouse by the pool and two in the store area. I noticed a handicap accessible bathroom/shower as well. Also just this year I discovered there are two coin operated washing machines and dryers in the back of the bathhouse.

Cabins are small but well worth the non camping options. We went with the smaller one with a family of 6. The queen bed was very comfortable (better than what Mill Creek campground up north has to offer). All 4 kids tell me that the bunks were comfortable although they are very narrow which explains why they kept kicking the walls during the night. We stayed very late in the season. The bounce area was free and the kids loved it. I started my morning with coffee they started there's bouncing.
