Came in a few time last year and loved it so much we decided to get a seasonal this year! Will be back again next year. Great park, great management and everyone feels like family! There are walking trails to the White River for fishing or even swimming. My kids love this park!
Pros: Our lot was HUGE and felt quite private since we could be well off the road. Nice trees for shade and hammocks. Fire ring is a loose ring you can place wherever works best for your setup. Campground and bathrooms are clean. Yard games and equipment available for use. Nice playground. Beautiful park area.
Cons: SO many spongy moth caterpillars (previously known as gypsy moth) – plague level infestation. Their poo was literally raining down on everything and everyone so much you could listen to it like rain. We had to remove several of these rash-causing caterpillars from our trailer and rug. Our awning is absolutely ruined, stained so badly that multiple rounds of scrubbing with special cleaners aren’t enough to salvage it. Road is dirt and there’s no path from road to bathhouse, so you are constantly tracking dirt and caterpillar poo. Many lots don’t have water, but there are NO common water spigots except for the large tank-filling potable water unit for RVs at the entrance. Fortunately there was an empty site that had water nearby, so we could use that. Campers across the way had three large banners sporting the F-word and staff did nothing about it even though they perused the loop and inspected sites. Loud ORVs are driven around the loop by unsupervised kids all day/evening. Staff disappears around 7 pm – if you have an issue, you’re on your own, I guess. Hiking trails poorly maintained. Bathhouse is not central, so you may have a long walk – ours was 1/3 mile one way. Massive 6-sheriff/police unit arrest with canine unit in the intersection across the fence from our site (alongside campground, not within).
A hidden gem! The staff was very friendly. Large, grassy lots. The bathrooms were dated, but very clean! Very quiet and peaceful. Lots of hiking trails. Close proximity to a kayak launch. Within biking distance of downtown (even though there isn’t much to do in White Cloud). Good wifi. I’d recommend the park to anyone that want a peaceful, relaxing camping experience.
This is a beautiful, quiet, peaceful park. Clean bathrooms and showers. This would have been a 5 star park if they didn’t charge for the park pass for the tow vehicle. IMO that should be included in the campsite fee. I completely understand charging for extra vehicles, but the price should include one vehicle. Regardless we really like this park and will definitely camp here again.
This is a very very clean campground. Our camping area was nice and clean when we arrived. We had plenty of room. The only issue we really had was the amount of ants and Nats in the area but other than that it was very nice. They also had very clean showers and restrooms. We enjoyed our time. It was very well worth it.
