Ionia Beechwood Rustic Campground

This is a nice park. The lake is pretty spacious and they offer kayaking, which is what me and my friends did. One thing that was concerning was the water quality. It stated that the water quality was not tested, yet there was a swimming area. In parts of the lake in which we kayaked, the water did seem very swampy. But like I said, it was quite a large lake.

One thing that was concerning was the water quality. It stated that the water quality was not tested, yet there was a swimming area. In parts of the lake in which we kayaked, the water did seem very swampy. But like I said, it was quite a large lake. There were also some decent food options in the concession stands, which is nice. I would like to come back and check out the campground some day. Overall, this is a good recreational area that offers a lot.

Beautiful campground and well kept. Great price. The beach is nice with plenty of parking, decent pricing on food, a firepit anyone can use right on the beach. Cute shaded area. Down side is the path to get to the rail trail (for non-mountain bikes) is not easy to ride and about 2 miles from campsites; sites are close; hard to fund a large dump bin that's close; needs to be more bike friendly on...

This is a great place to stay for camping, they have the standard camping ground with electricity and water for tents or RV's. They also have the rustic camp ground with no water, no electricity, no showers, thus is where my son and I stay from Friday to Sunday and it was great, by the lake, with a picnic table and a fireplace. They also have an area for private cabins which looks amazing. We... This is a great place to stay for camping, they have the standard camping ground with electricity and water for tents or RV's.

Definitely we will come back.

Great park with amazing scenic trails. The trail between marker 2 and 8 via trail marker 9 is a bit difficult due to terrain, but it's my favorite part. The bathrooms were pretty clean for public restrooms in the woods. The only problem I had was that the campsites are not set up well to accommodate larger tents. Our tent is 9'x14', and there was barely room for it on the grass because the site h... Great park with amazing scenic trails. The trail between marker 2 and 8 via trail marker 9 is a bit difficult due to terrain, but it's my favorite part. The bathrooms were pretty clean for public restrooms in the woods. The only problem I had was that the campsites are not set up well to accommodate larger tents. Our tent is 9'x14', and there was barely room for it on the grass because the site had a cement pad right in the middle. We made it work though, with our tent butted up against a tree, and we looked around the park at other sites to pick out a bigger one for next time.

We have camped here over 20 years both on the modern side and the equestrian side. Most of the campsites are shaded and are more private than other camps we have gone through. There is a very nice beach, walking trails and fishing area. The horse side does not have electricity but has some great trails to ride. There's a bridge to cross and a stream if you want to cross.

Most of the campsites are shaded and are more private than other camps we have gone through. There is a very nice beach, walking trails and fishing area. The horse side does not have electricity but has some great trails to ride. There's a bridge to cross and a stream if you want to cross. You can pick how far you want to go on the maps provided. There are some sites with corrals for the horses, or you can tie the horses. There is also a nice day staging area, an arena, and an obstacle course. Both sides are well maintained. The online site shows the site and has a very good description. The only thing we have found fault with this campground is that they do not have a great area for the kids to play. There's a couple of swings and a sandbox. It is in a nice area with some trees. The campground is very close to ionia, which makes it convenient to run to town to pick up things. Dogs are welcome, generators on the horse side, but shut off at night.
