Lake Huron Campground

Our family has been coming here for the last 3 – 4 years and in the past we have had no problems other than the normal quiet time «warnings». This year was a little different. The new owners have taken a big bank mentality where every little thing has a price on it. You want to check in two hours early? $ 5-​$ 15 depending on the person you talk to in the clubhouse. You have more than the 2 adult 2 kid cabin, money money. I have no problem paying extra to enjoy my cabin longer, but that enjoyment ended shortly after they brought in the pavilion sprayers and leaf blowers on a Friday at 12pm. They must have spent 2 – 3 hours on spraying ONE concrete slab! The motor that is utilized as the power was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard! I happen to have paid $ 15 extra to check in early and if I knew they were bringing the cleaning crew out on a beautiful Friday afternoon where there were no campers around… wait, the complete opposite was true. Not the time to be «enhancing the customer stay» as the front office put it. Sadly in conclusion, what was once a joyous time for our 80+ extended family has now been discouraged with the small minded money hungry new owners and lack luster management.

This was our absolute favorite place for the last couple of years. The girls at the office are always very helpful and friendly. The campground is huge and overwhelmingly empty but very well maintained and quiet. It WAS very reasonably priced and a fun place to go. Our plan was to leave our camper there again for the vast majority of the season. Unfortunately the new owners, namely Bob, seem to be intent on nickel and diming loyal customers and everyone else for that matter. We had the plan to bring friends and family and their campers. We love the area and local establishments and their staff like the Forrester which is directly across the street. Bob has raised the rates to a level that is ridiculous for the area. He wants to charge each additional guest over 2 adults and 2 children $ 10 per day. He charges $ 15 for early check in and late checkout. He seems to think that jump pillows and a few new items in the camp store are a huge draw to the area. He is not at all familiar with Michigan and had never even heard of traverse city. Bob needs a lesson in michigan tourism and Michigan values. First of all the draw to this area is that no one really goes there. Second of all he is crazy if he thinks overcharging for each and every thing is going to generate business. We brought others camping with us, new to the campground, 3 sites total. We had to cancel one of them and although the park was at least ¾ empty he charged us $ 15. I am a little bit heartbroken because we loved the place and were looking forward to our summer there with family and friends. Trying out duggans this weekend. The reviews are overwhelmingly good. I just can’t condone Bobs unscrupulous and greedy and overall terrible business practices and customer service. Maybe we will return after they sell it which they will inevitably do after they have run a gem into the ground.

Totally disappointed. We have stayed here for the last several years and loved the staff and the sites. Jacked up rates from the new owners, new ridiculous fees and rates for visitors and 6 pm closing of the pool and new jump Pillows is crazy. 6 Pm pool close when we get up there after 5 on Fridays? We are paying for amenities that we can’t even use because they all close early. Bob is clueless and arrogant.
We will not be back. Sorry to the staff who are very nice. Message us if Bob sells and we would be willing to Try again.

Was a great place when ⁵⁄₃^rd bank owned it! Today, has new owners, was supposed to be a lot better! Made reservations for memorial day weekend! Not only received repeated phone calls from the staff, double, triple and quadruple checking to make sure the 8 sites I booked and paid a deposit on, were going to be used, they also called everyone of the 8 people to make them pay in full prior to the weekend, and they were not filled to capacity! The grass had not been cut in the area we stayed which was some of the most expensive sites, rates went up, also like many private campgrounds now, using the «Ash Spore» scare which has been long done over with, to force their campers to buy overpriced «Kindling» firewood at best! Very disappointed, new owners are all about the money! A family is 2 adults and 2 children, period. Anything over that is $ 15.00 per day per child or adult, doesn’t matter! Was our favorite, extremely overrated for no adult trees, no WiFi, cable at best gets 6 channels on a good day, you can tell they are greedy owners, they own several others in other states, this is the only one they own in Michigan, really not worth the price they are charging now and all of the rules they are laying one everyone. At best, I give them 3 years, and they will be out of business. Stayed there over 10 weekends last year, this is the only one that we will be staying in 2016…

Front desk staff friendly but it ends there the rest of the staff is rude and unfriendly. No privacy anytime they ride by your campsite the staff is peering in at you very uncomfortable. Yes there is thing for kids to do like a run down arcade with machines that take your money and don’t work. Don’t bother packing your own kayak or small boat because they will not let you use it will have to rent the ones they have as they have told others. For a newer park it is getting rundown quick maybe if the staff maintained it more instead of worrying about what campers are doing on their site it wouldn’t be. No trash drop off locations near sites you have to drive all the way to the front of campgrounds to dump trash bags. You can rent golf carts but have to return them everyday very inconvenient they even entered my site while I was out and took cart made us feel violated never been to a place where I was happier being away from it.

We spent last weekend here, despite it being cold. The place is clean, friendly and reasonably priced. It’s right off of Lake Huron. Our biggest complain would be no wi-​fi, but that’s not too big of a deal.
The location is great, very close to Port Sanilac and just down the road from Lexington Michigan.
The spots were clean, well cared for and patroled regularly.
We would consider staying here again.

If you like full service camping, this park is for you. A range of site types is available. We have stayed here twice on a full hookup pull through site near the pool and game room area. Large level site. Trees are still a little on the small side so an awning is best for shade. They have a nice camp store, mini golf, and a little beach area too. Looks like there are rental kayaks (but we haven’t checked those out yet). This park is not on Lake Huron, but there are beaches on the big lake in the area. Lots of little towns to explore (Lexington is a favorite) and a nice golf course nearby makes this a great vacation spot.
