You will not find a cleaner more well kept campground the team that runs this place makes you be like life long friends from the time you check in till you check out. The bathrooms are clean and the park is beautiful. They really care about the park. The seasonal people that stay there are also so welcoming and willing to help in anything they can. I would recommend it here for anything looking to enjoy getting away!!

Best to camp farther to right side of campground. Big LOUD stamping plant on left side ruined our night. Every 4 seconds it thumps loudly.

One of the best run city parks that I've camped in Michigan. Friendly atmosphere from both employees and the fellow campers. Provide entertainment & events & still maintain a covirus separation.

Nice campground, but small sites. My daughter loves the pedestrian bridge over the river. I enjoy sitting at my campsite and enjoying my view of the river. I’m not a fan of the placement of the fire rings on the river side. They are right next to the sidewalk, so you have a lot of people walking right next to you when you are trying to enjoy your fire. It seems recently that more and more people are long term campers so there are fewer sites available for weekenders. Take your bicycle and ride around town and out to the bay. It’s a nice ride.
