A small but nice quaint place to camp out especially if surrounding areas are booked up this is a great go to. Works on the honor system so drop your cash in an envelope to whatever campsite you’re staying on and be on your way. Water around to fish but not much to do within the campground besides enjoy the time spent with family/friends and fishing.

Nice little park/ campground located between baseball/softball fields and a nice little lake. Reasonable rates. Lake is more for Kayak/ fishing but swimming areas are about a five minute drive away. Good location for sightseeing, a few miles from Lake Michigan.

Booked a site for a 42 ft camper, site said it was large enough. Upon calling to question, the staff said it was 50 amp and a pull thru.

We get moved to another site, camper is hanging into the road even though we are backed all the way to the fence. 30 amp service is broken so we are plugged into the site next door. We c...

Whenever I travel north for work I will hit this pond with my ultralight and rarely do I get skunked. Spinner flies work the best.
