Our family moved to Michigan with our camper and stayed at Woodchip for 6 months. Woodchip is by far the most amazing place we have ever stayed. The staff is always quick to answer all of your questions and concerns. In the non-winter months, they make the weekends so fun for the families, especially the littles. In the winter, we still had access to the playground and lots of snow. Woodchip made this move a reality for us by providing a safe place to live while we began our journey here in Michigan. Whether you are coming for the weekend or a couple of months, I highly recommend Woodchip. You won't regret it, and you will make some amazing memories!

Woodchip campground is a great family friendly atmosphere. It is one of our families favorite campgrounds. We love coming every year during the fall festivals and we love that the pool is still open! The staff is friendly and helpful. The inner lots are a little small but the perimeter lots are a nice size. They have some lots with wooden platforms too which is nice. We also love that the jumping pillow and other activities are included in the price, it's so nice for a big family! Definitely would recommend!

It was our first time staying at Woodchip campground. They offered a lot of activities (fall themed) for the kiddos, plus a jump pad and playground, which we all appreciated. We didn't feel like we had to leave the campground to find things to do. It was great, with exception only to the barrel train which was driven a bit recklessly. The price (78$/night) is a bit expensive for camping in my opinion but we did appreciate the grounds were clean and well maintained. The bathroom stalls are VERY tight.

Clean. We stayed on the E sites adjacent to the pool. Sites were spacious and were handy in the rainy weather. Activities on a Halloween weekend were great for the kids. We would reserve again.

Woodchip Campground is a lovely family-friendly campground. Our kids loved the jump pillow, pool, and centrally located playground. The camp store is the best I’ve seen! It’s the perfect size without a huge number of sites. Well maintained. Bathrooms are sufficient. Friendly staff. We would go back again.
