    We stayed for 16 nights in late June/early July 2024. Our site was a back in farther from the lake…read more- we loved that it was grassy and spacious. It's a beautiful property with rolling green hills. It was surprisingly empty - we were among only a handful of campers most days and had plenty of space. Most other campgrounds I've been to this summer have been full or nearly so - if this place added septic it would probably attract more business. The store was rarely open during posted hours - a bit of an annoyance - but if you call the cell posted someone can usually respond within a few minutes. The person I perceived to be the owner was really nice. I'm not sure if this place has a religious affiliation but there seemed to be some sort of religious gatherings that occur there. It didn't bother me, just something to be aware of. We are in this area every couple of years - if this place added sewer we'd absolutely stay here again. If not we will probably consider other places unless we are only staying for a couple nights - it was annoying to have to deal with emptying the tanks on a long stay. Overall a nice quiet campground with a good family friendly vibe.

    Management has gone down hill. Use to be a very veteran friendly campground. They no longer allow…read moreservice dogs to be with their owners. Dogs have to be tied up on a short leash unless you are a seasonal then your dog can be unleashed and free range, very discriminatory. Management is extremely disrespectful and rude. I enjoyed spending our holidays at this campground however we will no longer be returning due to the disrespectful and poor management.

    Traveling has become so darn expensive (mostly thanks to hotels and rental cars) so I've been…read moretrying to find places within driving distance to explore this year so I can drive and also camp to save money and connect with nature more! I loved this campground. It's quite large with lots of lakes and bodies of water. I didn't get to hike a ton but the one trail I did hike was great and very peaceful. I reserved campsite 159. I will say that the campsite next to it was basically right on top of mine so it would be great for a group site! It was also located right by the bike/hike trail, so that was good for me but could see how it wasn't as private as other sites. Loved the check in process and great location related to Kalamazoo.

    This is a beautiful campground and the bathrooms were clean and new. HOWEVER, there were mosquitos…read moreand poison ivy everywhere - even in the middle of the campsites! My kids had to wear sweatpants and sweatshirts in 75/80 degree weather. We couldn't go anywhere without there being poison ivy within 5 ft of us. Our group (especially my children) were all covered in mosquito bites (we are talking 10+ on each of their faces - even with using bug spray, and multiple other methods of deterring mosquitos!) The staff were rude and unprofessional. The DNR officers were belittling and grumpy toward a large family group (adults with small children). This was our first time camping at this state park... and likely the last time camping at a Michigan state park. I am so disappointed in how Michigan is using their resources to create a "family friendly" campground when the way people are treated are not reflective of that. The campsites are not safe for children. Do better for someone else's sake, Fort Custer.
