They have a food court and a liquor license (beer and wine - I didn't see anything harder). Great for a kids party.

It was a busy day as it was a weekend and there were parties reserved, but our experience didn't lack for anything. We bought the three hour pass and had a blast go-karting, jumping, sliding, bungee-jumping, and putt-putting. We ordered chicken strips and some breadsticks for a snack and they were delicious! The balloon ride was not operating while we were there and I think the manager said they were understaffed that day. I made sure to let him know he had a quality group of folks working for him and everyone was so pleasant. We will definitely be back!

One of the posts said that this is because of the amount of geese that have been frequenting the lake this year or because of runoff from rain. We went once before we knew about the e coli issues and actually had a great time. The beach (we thought) appeared clean and the water was the perfect cool temperature on a hot summer day. The swimming area went deep enough that we could float away from the littles on the shoreline. There were two life guards on duty. They have really amazing facilities where a get together was being held under the pavilion. They have a snack station, but we brought our own chips and sodas. They also have a splash pad with water slides. This area was closed when we went, and you have to pay a little more to access this area. They also have some cool trails and a frisbee golf course. You can bring dogs, but not to the designated swimming area. I hope they figure out the e coli issues because we would love to go back.

I especially appreciated the kid-friendly "HECK" merchandise -- it was such a clever touch!

The day we came their internet was down so if you didn't have cash or buy tickets in advance you couldn't get in. The park was clean and well maintained and there's a ton of attractions to explore.

Awesome place for toddlers and young kids especially for a waterpark. The other big hotel down the…read moreroad is definitely better for older kids, teenagers, and even adults. Very easy to book online and be sure to get a rewards sign up. We did a package that included pizza and pop, a chicken dinner at Zehnders, and a breakfast buffet for both mornings. The hotel is easy to spot next to Bronner's. The theme of gnomes and fairies is so adorable. Staff are awesome! They were so sweet to my daughter and us. Whether it was our waitress, lifeguards at the waterpark, or the front desk. We were able to check in early, so be sure to ask! Our room was one of the older rooms and was one of the ADA compliant rooms, which has larger doorways, no bathtub, a queen bed, and a seating area with a fireplace. The room decorations and everything in it are original. It's very desperately needs to get a facelift. The room was right off of the front desk in waterpark, so walking to the action only took a few steps. I noticed there is no recycling bin. There was a mini refrigerator, but the temperature control wasn't the greatest. Carpet was buckling. The seating area did have a pullout couch, but the couch itself was slippery with the fabric and pretty uncomfortable. Not sure how well house keeping was. There was a Nerf gun instructions paperwork behind one of our bedside nightstands. The water pressure was awesome. The bedding felt clean and the bed overall was comfortable. Housekeeping was able to give us a few more towels off their cleaning cart, which was nice. There is an arcade, but it's definitely not as big as the other hotel down the street. It's very crammed into one room. The pizza and cheese bread was absolutely delicious. Was not expecting that for a kid themed hotel. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, but the buffet items don't change. So the second day we were already kind of sick of the options. They do a nightly movie night in the lobby at 8 PM. If our daughter was older, we definitely would've snuggled up in the lobby to watch the movie. The waterpark was our favorite. Our daughter is just over two, and I was so surprised at how many things she was able to do. She even got to go on a waterslide with us, holding her to go down. Also, she was able to go down a waterslide all by herself, so she thought she was super cool! At the hotel down the street, there's barely anything for a two-year-old to do at their waterpark. She absolutely loved being able to wade in the water with the toddler pool going up to 2 feet. She also was brave enough to go under the big bucket that splashes. We stayed two nights and I think we went to the waterpark at least four or five times and she never got sick of it. There is a security checkpoint for the waterpark. Security will put UV light on your wristband to make sure it's not a fake also go through any bags that you're bringing into the waterpark. Do not bring towel towels, the waterpark provides towels for you. Additionally, they provide lifejackets. There are plenty of tables and chairs all along both water parks, the old side and the new side. The new side wasn't as toddler friendly. There was a small slide she could go down, otherwise there really wasn't much else for her to do. We had a great stay and I think with them updating all of the hotel rooms, I think Zehnder's is the place to be!

This truly breaks my heart to write because we have loved this facility for so many years…read more We have been bringing our children here annually (sometimes multiple times a year) since 2013. But recently in the last few years, we have noticed a shift (some things they may not directly have control over). But this past weekend was bad and we felt it was time to update our review to reflect what is happening now. From the second you walk into their lobby, throughout the hallways, seeping into the rooms, and even penetrating the waterpark areas, all you can smell is that legalized recreational product (I'm sure you can guess what I'm talking about). It's disgusting, lingering scent persisting everywhere. It clings onto your clothing, suitcase, EVERYTHING. And if you get a room that was previously occupied by guests who partake in that, it reeks of it for your whole stay! Adding to this, you can continuously find bandaids, hair and hair extensions floating in the water and lying around on the ground. Many children/teens are running wild (being very disrespectful) with no adult in sight. This place has lost its charm for us and it truly is sad. This was a vacation we looked forward to annually with our children and have created so many beautiful memories but sadly, it no longer does and then to add the price continuously increasing (which we knew would happen). If the smell of recreational products, filthy areas, and disrespectful guests is your vibe, then this is the place for you. What once used to be our favorite has sadly shifted over the last few years.

The friend we were meeting is a local so she was able to get a reservation for the 11am-1pm time slot, which is apparently reserved for locals. It wasn't too crowded and was the perfect activity for a very hot summer day. My 6 year old was a bit fearful of the giant bucket of water that pours on your head at first, although by the end of the 2 hours he was standing under it welcoming it. My 9 year old and his friend jumped right in and couldn't get enough of all the slides and water fun. They were probably some of the older kids there, but still young enough to enjoy the fun. There's also a more babyish area to the side for younger kids who aren't into the slides and giant bucket. They also get 5 stars for cleanliness, including the bathrooms and changing rooms. I had to show out my coffee when we arrived since no food or drink is allowed inside the gate, but that's probably how they manage to keep it so clean. My sons are asking when we can go to Michigan just to go to this again so I can imagine if we were locals we would be there quite a bit.

I have been coming to camp Dearborn with my family since age 6 (almost 20 years now). I look…read moreforward to our week at camp all year, which has a lot to do with fond memories, spending time with family and taking a week off of work. Could they update their facilities, absolutely. Their bathrooms and showers are outdated and don't have great water pressure. That being said though you don't go to camp Dearborn to have luxury you go to have a good time, after all it is called "camp" for a reason so expect some camp like features. They did recently add a zip line but from what I understand it is an upcharge to use. Their canteen could defiantly use some updating, as it's looked the same for as long as I've been going but does still serve it's purpose. I think with some overall updating this could be a wonderful campground and would attract more people if it looked a little nicer. Some things I love about going: Chicken fat every weekday morning, the availability of paddleboats, nightly campfires, spending days at the available beaches. Things I believe they could improve: updating the bathrooms (both close and far from the camp grounds-- bathroom near canteen and in field between cabins and canteen), better planning of events and communication of events taking place, more events for adults to take part in too and overall updating of facilities (canteen, bathrooms, playgrounds, etc.)

We booked this campground for a holiday weekend and paid extra to be there, including paying for a…read morefull-hookup site. We chose to spend our vacation here when we had plenty of other options, which is what makes the way this entire situation was handled so disappointing. We understand that power outages and unexpected problems can happen. What we cannot understand is how little the campground seemed to do for the guests who were left without power or running water for three days. Since we did not receive the full hookups and utilities we paid for, we feel the extra holiday-weekend charges should have been refunded. At the very least, we should have only been charged the regular site fee and been given a voucher or credit toward a future stay. Instead, the campground's idea of accommodating guests was one free bag of ice, a K-Cup of coffee, and what they called a snack--which was basically two Oreo cookies. This was while people had no electricity or running water and it was pouring rain. Honestly, it felt insulting rather than helpful. The coffee wasn't even from a local coffee shop or somewhere like Dunkin'; it was simply a K-Cup. The whole offering felt like a very minimal effort for people who had just spent their holiday weekend without basic utilities. Another thing that was frustrating was the complete lack of staff when people actually needed help. Normally, you see employees driving around the campground making sure everyone is following the parking rules and checking for passes. Funny how, during a weekend when guests actually needed assistance and were looking for employees, no one seemed to be driving around or available. The entire experience showed us a lot about how this campground handles its guests when something goes wrong. People have choices about where they spend their vacations and their money, and we chose to spend ours here. Unfortunately, the lack of communication, support, and meaningful compensation made us wish we had chosen somewhere else.
