I arrived by bicycle and tent camped overnight. The check-in was smooth and efficient, and I purchased firewood and had a nice campfire in the fire pit. The campground was clean and well maintained, but could use more shade trees. I slept well as the only train came by in late evening, but it was quite close. The facilities are immaculate, and plenty of hot water for a shower. I was disappointed that the grounds keeping crew showed up so early to mow; that was a little rude for those that wanted to sleep in. The park is very nice, and I’ll camp there again. One tip though, the connecting path to the bike path into Kalamazoo, it’s down a dirt road on the far side of the lakes and up the clear-cut for the power lines(opposite direction of the RR) on the right. It’s not well marked, and not open all year!

I really would have liked to have given this campground/park a better rating. The staff is super-ultra nice, and the shower and washroom facilities were unbelievably clean for such a place. The campground area, however, just sucks. The whole area is clear-cut, and there is NO shade from 6AM till 9PM. NONE. There’s way more concrete than grass, and the grass that is there is dry and scrubby. The only other upside is that there’s a nice pond and beach area to mess around in. The real coup de grace here was when we discovered that the campground has train tracks immediately next to it. We found this out when the train came rolling through at 4AM, BLASTING its horn. The dog and kid completely freaked out. I won’t be back. If you’re looking for a relaxing camping experience, or any sort of hiking or nature immersion whatsoever, avoid this like the plague.
