I stopped in to check rates... This campground looks really cool... I was talking to them about their pricing... It's extremely reasonable... The only thing I found a little odd... Is that you have to pay for your shower... Takes quarters... I've never seen that in a campground before... I would recommend they just raise their rates by $5 and let people have a free shower...

I did not stay at this campground... But I'm thinking about it... They offer tubing/kayaking... They will drop you off on the river... And you float back down... Sounds fun...

Haven’t stayed there so I can’t say anything about the cabins but kayaking here is great. The people are super friendly and helpful. Very reasonable prices for rental, transport, or using as a launch site.

I came to kayak the Muskegon River. Just me, by myself. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. It was very reasonable to transport my kayak up river. I will definitely be back!
