We stumbled upon this new campground while searching for a place to try out our new fishing rods…read morenear my parents up north. Here are my pros and cons: The Good: - Quiet: Being that it's newly reopened (formerly known as Secord Lake Campground), and that Secord Lake is a shell of what it used to be because of the dam breaks (as we later discovered), of the 52 sites available, we were 1 of 3 campers on the premesis on a WEEKEND! It was so great to actually hear the sounds of nature. - Spacious: Adding on to the above, if you like being able to spread out and not camp on top of other people, until this place grows over the years to come, you can bet on having at LEAST several spaces between you and other campers. - Pet-Friendly: Dogs are welcome! It's hard to find a campground that dogs are allowed, and with it being so quiet, it's pretty nice for dogs who tend to bark at passersby. - Amenities: Bathhouses are spacious and clean, there's a play set for kids, horseshoes to rent and play with, and cute camp store stocked with the essentials AND ice cream, and a dump station on site. The Bad: - The website is more than a little misleading. Though these things are all advertised as if they are on-site, there are no absolutely lake views from any of sites (ironic, considering the name), walking trails, fishing, boat rentals, etc. whatsoever. We specifically came to this campground to be able to go fishing, but not only is there no fishing spots at the campground, there os actually no public fishing spots on Secord Lake AT ALL (the few spots are now dried up from the dam break). Considering that fishing is listed as a campground amenity and included in the Lakeview Campground logo, we had every reason to think this was the place to go to try out our new gear. We were very wrong, and very disappointed. I will say, there are plenty of trail heads and ORV trails within 10 miles of the campground to go enjoy. If you're willing and able to rent a boat, there are spots on the Lake that do have fish biting, but they are only accessible by boat. The marina across the road had no day rentals. With all of that said, if you just want a quiet place to get away, let your kids run and play, and enjoy the sounds of nature with last-minute availability, definitely give this place a shot. The owner is really attentive and goes above and beyond. We ended up really enjoying our stay, even though it was nothing like we'd expected.

Even if you don't have a boat we offer pontoon rental for the fisherman or just a pleasure cruise. If you need a snack, beer, ice, or minnows, we have a fully stocked party store and bait shop. You're always invited to sit back, watch the boats and relax on our new deck that overlooks the beautiful lake. Enjoy some nachos, popcorn, home made sandwiches, or an ice cream cone. Smith's Landing also offers full service dockside gas for your boats and jet skis, no other establishment on Wixom Lake offers this service (not to mention treats for the dogs and icy pops for the kids). We are family owned and operated, Norm & Karen live onsite, and the whole family helps out in the store and on the docks, and want you to feel like family too!

We were greeted with the utmost respect from the second we called, to pulling into the parking lot, getting help onto the river, and getting off. It was one of the prettiest parts of the river that we have seen, very wide open. Pulling into the campground from the river, allowed us to experience their adorable establishment. I truly can't wait to go back and camp next time. I won't say any names but we tried the same experience the day before at a close establishment. It was horrible, a long walk with no help, cash only, and a $80.00 cash deposit. The owner was very disrespectful also.

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.

The campground is very clean, quiet, has free Wi-Fi, heated outdoor pool, pavilion for large get togethers, a kid's playground, sand volleyball court, shuffleboard, and horseshoes.

The main office offers ice cream, dipping dots, small camp store, books you can borrow, board games you can check out or even play inside the camp office. They also had puzzles. There is a great walking area for dogs (dog run). Clean restrooms/showers but only one set of them. They also deliver firewood to your campsite. We really enjoyed being there. They don't allow fireworks, which is great to us. They also have room to park your boat. The seasonal people were pretty friendly. The campsites are pull through and full hook ups. They also provide a dump station as well. This campground is just minutes away from the downtown Houghton Lake area. The campground is near a highway but it didn't bother us at all.
