We decided to make a special pit stop here for a few days on our way up to Traverse City. As we stayed here 2 years ago we absolutely loved it. I cannot complain about a single thing. We rented a fifth wheel again, and the rental was clean, and came with a ton of amenities. The campground is so peaceful and quiet it definitely helps with relaxing. Public bathrooms were spotless and very clean. Reg... We decided to make a special pit stop here for a few days on our way up to Traverse City. As we stayed here 2 years ago we absolutely loved it.

Regina is always great with communication quick to respond and very kind as well. My little family will always make our way here to stay when we have the chance and are in the area. Thank you Harrison Shady Acres for always being so welcoming and treating us like family🙂👍🏼

Stayed a whole weekend. The grass was so high at our site it was ridiculous, and the neighbors big dog barked acessively so we couldn't enjoy being outside at any point over the weekend. Wasted money won't go back 😒
