Wabasis Lake Campground (Kent County Park)

We got the Perrfect site with the perfect fall views of all the colorful trees, leaves, cliff & lake as well as the sunset & sunrise on the water! Campground has warm, large, well-kept & clean facilities- several stalls in both mens & women's sections, a private restrm & a number of big showers rooms with privacy doors. Camp store has lots to offer- 3-4 slushy flavors to chose from was the kids highlight that wkend! Staff is super friendly too (but no thank you to their pet tarantula spider!! 😬) . The beach area was impressively large with nice clean sand & play area, space to run around & build castles or catch minnows. We lost a lot of fishing lures to trees near the dock but good fun was had. Sites are all large with the nice sturdy longer picnic tables & nice big campfire rings. Some spots with cement pads & others gravel. Several full hook up options or just basic water & electric or rustic tent sites. Playground was also decent, perfectly located in the center view near restroom facilities. Kids got a lot of bike riding in around the campground as well. Onky thing we thought was super weird was they priced the wood $1/piece (or $1/log) which we found really odd. Normally u just buy like 6-8 pieces in a bundle for like $5-$6 & a lot of places will just deliver to ur site. We had to go pay for each piece & go pick it all out ourselves. That feels expensive & tedious than usual but ok. Otherwise, We were quite impressed with how nice everythung was considering the low price. Will definitely be coming back next year!!

We had a great time! Stayed in the forest cabin and it was comfortable. Kids had fun, swimming, on playground and on a nature hike. Nice little camp store and showers were a much needed bonus. Looking forward to our next Michigan trip to stay at Wabasis again!

This county park is a place of abundant beauty throughout the year with easy wooded walking trails, a few rolling hills many scenic spots to relax and a very unique spring house near the boat launch. The campground in the park is amazing with nice level lots and it has a great family atmosphere. Wabasis Lake Campground is amazing and feels like a small resort with clean bathrooms and warm showers. There is a nice beach with kayaks and canoes for rent along with a beach store and well stocked campground store with many books, activities, snacks, drinks and other staple food items along with other camping essentials. The campground staff is friendly, hardworking, very understanding and it shows as you can see them hard at work throughout the park. We did three two week stays in the fall of 2023 and had four different sites. All of the sites we stayed in accomadated our 30' class A motorhome with ease. I highly recommend this campground and will be coming back to camp here again.

I camped here with my dog. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. Small but nice. Definitely a good campground for families. The sites are big. Some are paved. There’s a nice nature trail with both new and old growth. There’s a nice bench and a bridge to cross the creek. It ends at a nice picnic area. There is a beach, playground, camp store, cabins, and bathroom facilities. They do sell firewood but they do not deliver to your site. They offer wheel barrows for you to use though. The only thing I didn’t care for was there was no way for anyone not dumping to get around the line of those dumping. I would recommend camping here and I will most definitely camp here again.

Very well maintained campground and the sites are huge. They have an upper level with full hookups, and a lower level near the water thats rustic. The bathrooms were nice and clean. The beach area looks great for kids. It does seem like this waterfront is a little swampy, but the sectioned off area is sand bottom and groomed. So close tp grand rapids, will def come back.
