With the ability to work remotely, my wife and I decided to escape the Michigan winter. In our search we found Wildwood had an attractive winter rate and is centrally located. Due to concerns over the adjoining property being a truck stop with I75 next to it, and some negative reviews, we decided to book a few weeks to check things out before making the commitment.

In our search we found Wildwood had an attractive winter rate and is centrally located. Due to concerns over the adjoining property being a truck stop with I75 next to it, and some negative reviews, we decided to book a few weeks to check things out before making the commitment. The office staff were helpful and pleasant, it was easy to make reservations, the dogs enjoyed the large dog park and there is a nice community campfire area. Our site was towards the middle of the park with a bath house 4-5 sites over blocking the truck stop and I75, this helped diffuse the noise to white noise (unfortunately the campers across the street didn’t have the same effect on the lot behind them) and most of the guests were great. The issue was noise generated within the park. With loud vehicles roaming around the park and/or idling for long periods of time, including during park quiet times in the mornings and motorcycles that apparently require starting and repeated revving multiple times per day, it was difficult to get a good nights rest or conduct phone/video meetings with high value clients (Starlink service was good). The long term sites were nice, and we didn't mind the few that looked like something out of Dixie’s trailer park, with yards full of cars, critters and crap (DMX’s “where the hood at” is stuck in my head thinking about it) a handful of unsupervised juveniles frequently roam the park that I suspect come from those same sites. We were able to find another park nearby, and after clearing the background check, we made the move a couple days ago (what a difference!). It’s a little more money but smaller, management and staff live on site keeping peace and quiet, they really seem to care and everyone seems to respect their neighbors. If you are traveling and need a place for a couple of days or in a pinch, Wildwood will work, it’s not a horrible place and could go from ok to decent if management and staff regularly spent time out in the park, setting expectations, ensuring campground etiquette/rules are being followed helping to deliver a positive guest experience. Having some staff/management live on-site would be great to monitor park activity after business hours. I doubt Lisa Beedon will be stopping by anytime soon but with Mr Wood living 20 minutes to the West, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the park on an episode of Under Cover Boss. On a side note, some mornings while walking the dogs we observed trucks and work trailers that were parked in the back area behind the office, exiting between the fence and tree/brush line away from the park. Parking loud vehicles in that area with them entering and exiting along that path would inconvenience the fewest number of guests until their owners could be moved near the road and exit or until they can make repairs. Near the road and exit would also be a great location for guest that frequently have outside guests. Happy camping
