We went canoeing one day and hung out at camp the rest of the time. Was worried it would be noisy with all the buses and people, but it was not loud at all. The owners are great people and just want everyone to have a great time! Highly recommend. Trailer house had a bathroom with no shower, but showers are just a few feet away. It had 2 bedrooms, 1 with a bunk bed, full on bottom, twin on top. The other room had 2 twin bunk beds. Couches were comfy if someone had to sleep on it.

My friends and I had so much fun at White's a few weekend's ago, I had to Yelp about it…read more Of the White's locations, this is my personal favorite. This campground is not too far of I-75, in Michigan's mid-lower peninsula, and is completely surrounded by the Rifle River. It 'feels' like you are up north. Leave your cell phones in the car, you won't need it and you can't get a signal anyway. {Which some see as a con; I see as a pro.} The camp is set up in group campsites that range in size, each with a view of the river, a fire pit, and some electrical hook-ups. The rifle river is a nice easy river for beginners, and White's rents tubes, rafts, kayaks, and canoes. White's also offers a number of trips, from a 2 hour tube float, to a several day canoe trips. Another great feature, White's drops you off up stream, and you paddle back to your campsite. {No getting in the car all wet and sandy.} On the weekends the river, and this campground can get a little busy and loud, and may not be the best environment for small children. On the weekdays, things quiet down considerably. I took a kayak trip on a Tuesday, and the wildlife on the river was amazing - I saw wood ducks, teal ducks, a deer, a young bald eagle, and a blue heron. For those non-campers, a couple of cautions - this location does not have showers or flush toilets. The outhouses are clean and well kept, and coin operated showers are available at the main campground (about 20 minutes away). Of course there is the river, but please, if you choose this option use earth-friendly soaps and shampoos, those that do not contain phosphates (Not Ivory because it floats).

I recommend reservations ahead of time to make it easier, and you need to start the 4 hr trip before 11am. Bring some beach shoes and a hat - the sun gets hot at times, but the water is perfect for a swim. The beach shoes are helpful walking on the river bottom. Our tandem kayak was pretty stable, had lots of room for two people and a soft sided cooler. Bring a water proof bag or at least a zip lock bag to put your cell phone in. The first 3.5 hours of the trip is awesome - lots of quiet paddling, easy current and frequent sightings of wildlife. The last 30 minutes is a straight up paddle in an urban environment - a fair amount of work, not much current and can be windy in spots. Overall, great trip. Would recommend

I would not recommend this place for tent campers looking for a quiet and relaxing space it's much more geared towards partying. The campground includes tubing or kayaking on the river which is a fun time for those looking to party. The rifle river is not the best when water levels are low very rocky. The tubes provided by the campground are pretty dirty and under inflated for the cost. I'd say if you plan on a weekend of partying and drinking this place is good but wouldn't recommend for families or those looking to unwind in nature.
