Have stayed here several years with same group. Plusses: beautiful area, great bath facilities, accommodating hosts, horse camp facilities, ice cream truck visits... recommend brining roads...we dislike all the ORV traffic but brining would help...weve never kayaker, fished or swam but nice beach area. Camp store only has cold drinks, ice, shirts and brochures...will come again

Campground has outgrown itself. Facilities are clean and well kept but if you're looking for peace and quiet avoid this place. It seems the Golf carts have to have an airhorn and they love to use them. Then you have all the motorcycles and ATV's that are buzzing around continuously. Our Grandkids couldn't even ride their bikes around the park safely.

Great campground off the beaten path. The lake is beautiful, campsites are laid out pretty well for everything from tents to large fifth wheels. Bathrooms and showers on-site that are centrally located. There is an equestrian section, and it is neat to watch the horses hit the water at the boat launch!

Update: added last star to the campground. This was our 4th year coming here, and all was great! We look forward to coming back again next July and continuing the tradition for many more years.

Great family owned campground Well worth the cost! Clean small sized lake with a few sandy swim areas great for kids and large spacious campsites. We stayed at sites with electric and we had a water spout as well. The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean also spacious (cleaned frequently as well) Everyone was pleasantly kind and polite. They have kayak rentals, a couple play parks, basketball courts, pavilion for events and washers/dryers. We will definitely be back!

6-16-19, stayed here one night and hope to be back to explore the area some more. Staff was helpful with a late checkin. Site #8 right on the water next to the beach was very nice in the evening. Short walk to the bath/showers. The old shower/bath are nice but the new showers are excellent. Non biting flies were bad in the morning but did not notice during the evening.

We camped in Equestrian area. Very nice. Trails are mostly two tracks shared with atvs though. Hard to follow trail map. If you could get hands on Benzie County snowmobile trailer maps it would make it easier to navigate. Beautiful setting. Super ckean. Large sites.

You can definitely tell the owners of this campground take pride in it. All the sites are very nice. Lots of mature trees and plenty of shade. The beach area is very nice and clean. The bathrooms are very clean and easy to access. My only problem was with the noise. This campground caters to the ORV crowd as it is close to trails. But you just constantly here side by side and dirt bikes driving around the grounds. Also golf carts are quite popular and make quite a racket as nobody walks anywhere. I don't think they should change this I understand I am in the minority. It obviously works for them
