To be honest I think I'm a fan - It's not summer yet but I can see this place being very buggy…read more I enjoy that it has options for boating, kayaking, fishing, and etc. - probably wouldn't suggest rollerblading or skating here since the pavement is broken up due to roots. I would definitely bring my dog back here for a nice hike and to see some of the birds - If you're into bird watching this is the place to go. Very peaceful! Happy hiking!

We drove up without a recreational pass on our plate. The worker said we couldn't buy a daily pass,…read morewe would have to buy a yearly recreational pass, which was $19. We decided to turn around. Since then I googled it, they said that we could buy a daily pass for $11. Could it be that she didn't like our Trump hat???

We were visiting a friend that has a condo nearby, so the location was super convenient. The check…read morein lady was very nice and we had a great site. The small pond had no fish (as I heard they all died due to an aeration issue), but my 4 yo still had fun tossing his fishing pole in the pond. The permanent campers were nice as we walked around and engaged my little kids at the fish cleaning station. I would definitely go back.

We are both primitive and camper campers. It is the week of the 4th of july and we wanted to…read moreprimitive camp by lake erie so we could take our boat out and do some fishing. Checked out 2 other camp sites before choosing turtle creek. The reason we chose turtle creek is for a few reasons. The primitive camping is not smack dab right in the middle of campers and rvs like the other 2 were and turtle creek was much cleaner then the others and turtle creek was CHEAPER then the other two. Turtle creek has both flushing and non flushing toilets...both VERY clean and updated paint. They also have a washer and dryer to use along with a few fish cleaning station. The campers were quite after 10 like posted and long term campers were friendly to day campers. It is a pet friendly camp site as well. Very nice camp ground with friendly helpful staff. ONE DOWNFALL**they are CASH ONLY.

Remember: This is a campground. Not a 4 star resort…read more Pros: -Campgrounds were well kept, with a section for more RVs and a section for tents -Location is rural enough to feel unplugged. Good proximity to other lakes and state parks. -Location is close enough to a gas station and eateries. Comes in handy if you forgot the toothpaste. -Free HOT Showers. This is HUGE for me. -$10 for a wheel-barrel of firewood! Yay! -Relatively inexpensive Cons: -May not be secluded enough for some nature goers -Odd numbering system made campsite tricky to find. A little worried this place might get a tad "crowded" in a busy season -Take bug spray. It's camping for god sakes Bottom line: Not perfect but darn close

We had a waterfront lot in this small campground and marina…read more The campground is quaint with a lot of extended term campers and campers who are contract workers in the local area. We loved being on the water. It was peaceful and pretty. We walked up to The clam digger restaurant (about a mile from the campground) and had GREAT pizza and excellent service there. Veronica at the campground was easy to reach and always replied within an hour or two. Ron was also helpful on-site to lead us to our site and help us back in. It's likely we'll return here!

Be very aware when you cancel a reservation at River Raisin Marina and Campground..Their…read morecancellation policy reads like stereo instructions. They charged HALF the weeks rental for cancelling. $75 for trailer storage and while it was stored on their property someone stole our taillight (cut the wires and took it). $130 a week for a boat slip.....Nice campground but....Very pricey and charges for electricity on top of the lot rental.... We won't be back there again and I will tell everyone I know and every media I can...NOPE! Nope!

Went down for a family friend's birthday party with our little travel trailer. Overall, a pretty…read moremediocre/decent experience. The good: The water slide was awesome. Well-kept playground, tasty and reasonably priced food at the Snack Shack, pleasant employees. The luau party was fun, the kids were treated great everywhere we went. Some other comments mentioned racist attitudes, but my mixed-race group had no problems that I observed with either the staff nor the clientele. Drunken fight / argument between 4-5 at the rental cabins across the street from our campsite. Why is this in the "plus" column? Security responded quickly, de-escalated the situation, and stayed nearby to monitor without bringing in law enforcement pre-emptively. Everyone went to bed safely, everything was quiet before midnight, and nobody had to wake up in jail. The bad: Highway noise kept us up at night - VERY close to the highway. Tight campsites - I couldn't let my dog off on a 20' leash because the neighbors kept complaining she was encroaching on "their space." Paying $3 extra per night because I have two kids (instead of one kid) under the age of 6 is ridiculous. No pool; only a lake with questionable-smelling warm water. Game room was musty and had an air hockey table that had an out of order sign that looked older than my kids. Mini golf course could really use someone with a leaf blower to get all the sand and debris off of it. Our site had no picnic table because a neighbor had "commandeered" it and had three, but we stole it back while they were away. There should be documented policy on what's minimally available at each site. Bad yellow jacket problem. This was overall a pretty good campsite. My kids had fun. But even with a KOA membership, it's roughly $10-$20/night more than my nearby comparators (Holly's Groveland Oaks and Frankenmuth's Jellystone), and I don't think we got $20/night more enjoyment than those places.

There are no words to express how amazing our experience was. Immediately from the time arrival, we…read morewere provided with a warm welcome from Larry, one of the campground employees. He went with us to the parking location he secured for us, guided us into the spot safety and stayed to make sure we were good to show and showed us where everything was at the campground. He came back to check on us periodically while we were getting settled as well incase we needed anything. The next morning, the employees drove around the park to say good morning to everyone, which was very sweet. As we were getting ready to check out, our RV started to have some issues and Larry went above and beyond to help us out to get us on the road. Him and his family brought us fluids and supplies for the vehicle and stayed with us to make sure we were okay during the stressful process of figuring out the issues. He didn't charge us a dime for anything, which I thought was very kind. Larry even cleared traffic for us so we could get our RV and camper out safely, which is something no other place has ever done for us. In addition, the facilities such as the shower/restroom areas were some of the best I have seen yet. Very clean, nicely decorated, smelled great and comfortable to use, which is rare. I would definitely recommend camping here! By far the best one we have stayed at on our cross country trip!

We needed some snacks and drinks and found the office/store well equipped for backpackers. The campground has wifi and good reception all over. The showers look like they're brand new. Super clean! Best of all, we interacted with the owners several times over the weekend - super nice people. They helped us out with all sorts of things we had forgotten.

South bass island state park is on the north side of the island. The park consists of a stone beach…read morewith a dock area that is open to the public. You can also fish off the dock. There is a small playground area and the put in bay sign to take pictures in front of. The campground takes up a majority of the park. It has tent spots along the lake and other spots with hook ups for campers. They even have several cabin style houses you can rent by the week. The campground has all the usual amenities of the state parks like shower houses and dump station. The roads are very tight and narrow. It can be difficult to park your camper in some spots so call ahead if unsure. They have a gate code to get into the campground. The shower houses had hot water but did smell funky because of the moisture. For the price though you can't be staying on the island. Easy to get to town on bikes or taking a taxi.

Originally I choose to stay at this campground because it was 8 miles from my friends' home and it…read morewould be easy to move there and back. It's a nice little campground with a small pond for kids, a playground, and hayride. I've stayed at many private campgrounds in the area with some seasonal lots, but this is the first campground where EVERYONE was friendly - seasonal, weekenders, employees, etc. The washrooms, although dated, were kept very clean. I didn't feel freaked out by spiders in the rafters, excessive dirt in the showers etc (although I kept my flip flops on as I always do in a public shower). I didn't visit the camped store or the game room so I can't comment on them. My husband and I did think that something should be done to decrease the mosquito population. The only negative is the size of the campsites. Some are very slender and you feel as if you can touch the neighbors on both sides. Overall, it was a good experience, friendly and felt as if we drove for hours up north, instead of 30 minutes west of home. We will be camping there again over Labor Day weekend.

CONS Staff not friendly to transient (non-seasonal) campers. Rejected my Amazon package. This demonstrated lack of respect for campers.
