We love this campground. Quiet, well run, and beautiful setting. You will love the sand dunes, walks on the beach and astounding sunsets. We come here every year and are extremely excited about the new camp director and how they are working so hard to make such positive improvements to the entire camp. Will continue to come back every year!

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was super peaceful being back in the woods. Great hosts and a great property. There are around 160 acres and 110 campsites that range form tents up to RV's. They even have tents that you can rent out that are already set up. They state that 35 feet is the max but my rig is 37 feet and had no issues at all. Water was good and the power only surged once but it was during a storm. GREAT place to stay if you want to be local to Mears, Silver Lake, Pentwater or even Ludington. With how busy some of the campgrounds can get in those cities, this one is perfect. Updated play-set and dump station as well. We will be back for sure.

Mine & my sister's family thoroughly enjoyed camping with you in July. It was the BEST camping we did all of 2021. Thank you for such a wonderful relaxing experience and gorgeous location. The dune, beach, all the amenities...our children enjoyed themselves the entire time and we all felt safe and taken care of like family. Thank you again for everything!! You helped make wonderful memories for our families.

Our volunteer weekend has begun. The tent dismantling crew started at 45 min per tent and are now down to 18 min per tent. Others were out planting bulbs, cleaning campsites and putting away bikes. We started out with a bigger group from Jackson UMC but by dinner time Lansing UMC group out numbered Jackson by double. Anybody else coming from Jackson? We also have some from the North Muskegon Community UMC and a few others as well. What a beautiful day it was for serving this heavenly place. We have plenty of homemade chili and cornbread left over from dinner tonight.
Come join us Saturday or please pray for the rain to stay away 🙏🏼
