This place is a mostly comfy retreat in the back neck of Muskegon State Park. That being said, this place has some quirks that would be visitors should know. Check in office was hard to find. We ended up calling when we couldn't locate it. When we couldn't find it we ended up parking at the building that had the bathrooms but also had apartments with permanent tenants. The short term and tent campers are not at all separated from the long-term or RV/trailer campers. Not every campsite had a firepit. As other reviews have said, the climb to the bathroom -using the marked path - is steep. The lake used in promotional images is across the street, there is a smaller pond backed against the campground that was depleated when we visited. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The women's bathrooms were clean but missing paper towels. You can tell they've gone through renovations. Plumbing is updated and just a bit stingy. The men's room had a urine stench, but we're not dirty. (8/10) My friends and I had a fun weekend but this campground seems like it has an apartment rental, an RV park and a campsite operating on top of one another. So, for the price, you're only really paying for general location.

This campground is not kept up as implied on the website. It was in it's prime 20+ years ago. The lake front campsites are actually lily pad swamp/seasonal overflow pond. Secondary Restrooms are porta-johns. There are 'long term' sites which do not appear to be well maintained. The general 'feel' of the campground is not welcoming, inviting, nor safe. We opted to forfeit our $300+ dollars and find another campground. We seriously recommend that Rover-Pass perform an unannounced audit of the campsite during the summer and fall months.

I was shocked when we entered the park. Pretty low end. Could not find the office. It was hidden behind a large car port with lots of equipment parked there. Looked more like a work storage area. When we were directed to our site, which was supposed to be on the lake, turned out to be a swamp. The amenities were not as advertised. One good point, the bathroom/shower room had been renovated and was very nice. Lots of migrant workers used this camp as home. We will not be back.
