A very nice view in itself. Then the boardwalk travels on, then goes under a bridge and next to a sand dune, then Bam! The lake and path funnel into Lake Michigan and the path onto an amazing beach. I had no idea this beautiful public beach was here. The views are outstanding and the sand is pristine. We took the dog, yes on a leash, for a walk of the beach and had a great time. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely! A must stop.

Nice trails with a long paved pathway from the lake front to deep in the woods for wheelchair users. By the bridge and outlet of Duck Lake, this place reminded me of Big Sur California but on a smaller scale. The sunset here was stunning but that's Lake Michigan for you!

A great place to camp out and the location is perfect. The 2016 rates ranged from $20-$26/night and…read morethere are 9 sites that are considered waterfront. The small lake was a hit with campers looking to cool off. Each site has electricity and a fire pit, but make sure you bring a grill to cook on or a pit grill to place on top of the fire pit. There's a large children's playground and horseshoes pits for the adults. Firewood is really cheap at $3/bundle and they even delivered it to your camp site. There are 4 restrooms on site, but no showers or running water. It's camping and not the Ritz-Carlton so make sure you know what you're getting into. Pete and Pat live on site and made sure to check on everyone at least once a day which was really nice. They even picked up our trash every morning. Make sure to bring cash as they don't take credit.

The weather was beautiful, and the campground is so nice, and well kept. The bath/laundry house was not only one of the cleanest, but the individual shower spaces were well thought out, and the water was nice and hot.

A huge pro were the bathrooms, I was beyond shocked with how luxurious they felt for being campground bathrooms. I would recommend booking sites 1-116 (do research-online map includes picture/s) because these sites have shade unlike some on the other side. We stayed at site 45 and really enjoyed our stay. Across the campground is the lake and you are able to kayak (free if you bring your own like I did). Beautiful atmosphere and would always recommend! Family friendly

( sorry for such a long review there is just so much that needs to be addressed)…read more This place is so expensive yet is absolutely terrible. Don't get me wrong some of the staff are really good and I have known them for a very long time, yet mot of the staff do absolutely nothing all day. Some of the boys have leaks and start sinking but when you tell the staff it's always the same answer " oh I didn't know we'll work on that " yet here we are a year later and it's still not fixed. There is a water park and it's really not that bad except the pools are extremely cold and once you go down the slides enough it just gets boring. This year the water park wasn't open when they said it was supposed to be which is a common theme with this place, but this year they decided to lie and tell us that they won't open it unless it was 80 degrees outside then we came back and asked again and they came up with a different number it was 60 or 70 but the next weekend we came back and it was open yet the temperature wasn't 80. The indoor pool isn't bad I Just wish that they would clean it more not the pool but the floor and carpet as well as the bathrooms. They say they have a quiet time but people say up for as long as they want yet they do nothing about not to say we also don't do that but still they need to get it under control. One weekend the police showed up to one of the houses in the back and there were a ton of people surrounding the hose (campers I mean ) the police were trying to get the staff to stop them from going back there and yet the staff did nothing but put a message on social media when the could have easily taped the place off or put golf carts in the road. There are dance party's which aren't bad for new people but it gets old since it's every weekend. Inside the lodge there are 3 registers for staff that help people buy things and help them get normally there is not one person actually doing that and then there are 3 people standing in the corner talking or doing nothing. This place needs to get things under control and frankly needs a new manager who can actually do things rather than stand around and post on social media. Woods and waters was the old owner and they were so much better since they actually had some control on the place and didn't have leaky boats.

So of you buy the site or rent anything a head of time make sure you screen shot the receipt or cc statement.

I went in their store to get a couple of things thw girl behind the desk didn't even look up from the computer. I once I got what I wanted I stood at the desk waiting to check out. I then gave her a $10 as she is having a conversation with another co worker. She then tells me the total again and I told her that I just gave u a 10.

Then they made a big stink bout wearing a mask on the bus and 1st of all they didn't wear a mask at not in the store or busses and they did not make people wear them on the bus. And talk bout safety one of their trailers were missing wheels on both sides. They have the electrical boxes for the site and more than have didnt work so you had to share 1.
