Small camping space but the spot is just right for a group of 2-4 people. The playground was a huge hit with my son. Nice trails to walk. Also nearby stores that have all the essentials. We loved it. Definitely coming back.

Newaygo State Park is a fantastic place to go camping. There is a nice disc golf course, through the woods. There is a boat launch to the Hardy Dam pond. There is also a connection to the Dragon MTB trail.

Great campground. It's rustic so don't expect hook ups, but they have water fill up and dump station. The sites are large and more private than most state parks. They keep the pit toilets pretty clean. Love the disc golf course. Will definitely be back

Very beautiful and quiet. Fast mountain bikers on the dragon trail near the dam- beware. Very friendly campers all around- felt like family. This was a wonderful campground and we'll be back soon!

Late season, leaves down down, yellow, cold, not many people...love it. Campsite 20 yards from the Dragon. Beautiful, perfect, I'll be back many more times. Great hike and ride to the dam and back. Newaygo is a nice little town, Diner Between the Dams...I'd go back every week if I could.
