County road closures make getting to this campground a real pain. Rain made the long gravel road muddy, making my truck and trailer a mess.

Just one overnight. Gravel road and mud sucked. Seems family friendly

My daughter and I needed to fit a quick camping trip in before summer was over. All we needed was a nice primitive site with enough room for a couple tents and chairs. She found this KOA in a quick search, and I booked the trip the next day. We LOVE it here, and would highly recommend it to anyone! Friendly staff, clean facilities, beautiful area, and very peaceful. We'll be back for sure!

Cabin was neat and clean. Area seemed great. Had a hard time find finding the place from highway 10. Got lost. It was frustrating. However the area seems lovely.

It was super clean. I had trouble accessing an electrical outlet and the staff was super helpful. They also had superb communication via texting the entire time. When I arrived it was like an oasis in the woods. Very clean and just had a great feel!

We loved our stay, staff was very friendly. We will be coming back for sure.

The owners are very nice. This campground is 35 miles to Ludington. Filled pool which caused no water at our site. Quiet site among trees no concrete and lots of sand. Way overpriced for area. $95 a night is outrageous based on location. Comparable campground sites are $60 a night. No wifi, cable, and little Verizon phone service. Great place it you want peace and quiet to disconnect

We had such a great stay. We frequent this KOA the most, because it has such a great location to Manistee Forrest and trails, and kayaking river. There is so much to do right here within the KOA too. The kids loved the bounce pad, pool and bubble foam machine among so many other activities. The bathrooms were spotless, staff was amazing, and somehow the area is even more beautiful!

Our stay was amazing! There were so many activities for the kids and we had such a great time we stayed an extra night (wished we could have stayed longer but we had to return home for work). The campground itself is really cool but the people who run this are the amazing ones, such good people and I seen all the work they put in to please everyone. We will most definitely be returning asap!

OK. Nothing special. Wouldn't go out of my way again.

People were nice, park is very crowded and jammed together. Never given any paperwork explaining things such as, garbage, tv, check out time. When asked for help with Kayaking pointed to a piece of paper on a display. Another individual was really good and gave me much information. Due to a weird electrical placement the staff provided a short extension, great job.

Very impressed with the staff. They helped guide us to our and helped back us into the site! Plus gave us an extra sewer hose to use due to connection being farther. My boys loved the jumping pillow and the pool! All around my family and I were very happy staying here.

My daughter & I both had such a lovely time at the KOA Ludington! Definitely will recommend to friends and family. Thanks so much for a perfect ending to our summer break before school started.

This was a quiet and very nice campground. However, we would recommend a railing on cabin 120.

We are always so impressed by the service snd upkeep of this campground. One of the BEST campgrounds we’ve stayed at and they work so hard to make it great for everyone. From sun up to sun down they are putting their campers always first. We will stay here over and over again!

Great people. Very helpful and kind. A true campers and kids place. Being a senior with specific interest. It is not our preferred type of area or recreational activities
Aug 23, 2021
Great place, tons of activities for the kids. Outstanding staff and very clean and quiet. Best KOA we have stayed at.

It was our first stay ever at a campground in our motor home. We are new to camping and Dennis and staff made it easy and stayed with us to make sure we hooked up and leveled our motor home correctly. Checked on us nightly to answer any questions we had. I only wish we had better Wi-Fii to watch our shows before bed. Will make sure to hook up with a hotspot next time. Great stay. Thank you Rome

Beautiful venue. The staff including the owner were a continuous source of warm hospitality and a determined intention to make the stay pleasant. Their enthusiasm filtered down making every point of contact a welcome opportunity for conversation. There is energy here and great pride in making the experience for guests more than would be normally expected. A wonderful experience for young children

Very Nice folks! It’s in the middle of nowhere!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad you had a good experience. Sorry our location does not meet your expectations. We feel that being surrounded by 12 million acres of National Forest helps set us apart from other campgrounds. We hope that you will give us another chance.

Cabin #5 is brand new and sparkling clean. Patio is perfect! The trees block stargazing so we watched from the Big Chair. All the comforts of home except for a toaster—had the yummy cinnamon rolls. Great kids’ activities on Saturday. Sunday tie dying was cancelled. Rafting down the Pere Marquette was the highlight of the weekend It is definitely luxury camping $$$ but we had a lovely ti

Great place to stay. Staff is so friendly and nice. Text messages before snd throughout the stay help know what is happening for activities
Aug 17, 2021
We had a fantastic time; it is updated with well maintained and variety of facilities. More events going on for the kids than you can count. The early morning cinnamon rolls are to die for!! Largest campsites I can remember finding at any campgrounds, you could have park two more units on our site along site our 30' Kodiak. To top it all off, the staff are top notch and overtly friendly!!!!!!!
Aug 17, 2021
Really enjoyed our stay! Only negatives would be events being cancelled on Sunday night due to staffing/low number of guests, otherwise a great time!
Aug 17, 2021
We had an awesome stay. We went to view the meteor shower which was an amazing show as we sat by the pool. Loved all of the activities and the added touched of texting the events. There was plenty to keep busy even as an adult with no kids. The staff could not have been more personable. We totally enjoyed our stay and will be back.

The campground is in a beautiful area. The bathrooms were clean and the store very nice. The pool is very clean and nice. The only downside was the wifi did not reach our site and the cell signal is very bad in the area.

We had a great time at this well run KOA. The hosts and staff were very friendly and attentive, and the campground has a lot to offer for guests. We were looking for nature and isolation and enjoyed the upper part of the campground with a site that bordered the national forest. We could go hiking directly from our site. In the middle we're some nice amenities like sites with patios, swings, and fire pits. Then the lower part of the campground was very well set for families with playground equipment, the pool, a jump pad, games, and even an outdoor screen where they did movie night with a bonfire. There was also a nice dog park where our pup could stretch her legs. Overall we enjoyed the variety offered at the campground, and the welcoming staff. We'll definitely be back.

We love camping here. We drive almost 4 hours to make it here, it is definitely worth every single penny spent. They are very affordable and attentive to your needs.
