The campground was beautiful and they happened to be doing a pre Halloween that week. All the campsites where decorated for halloween, really festive. The campground was in full fall colors and the trails where amazing and the smell of campfires and fall where in the air. The staff and park rangers where very friendly and offered advice and the many activities they had going on in the campground and surrounding areas. I'm going to be honest again, rented a motor coach so that I could camp in style. lol I would go back here in the future and really enjoyed the whole experience.

But due to all the smoke in the Canadian wildfires, it is unhealthy for us to stay in the camper. We both have asthma. We called the park to ask if we could get a refund they said no we stay at this park every year when we come to Michigan unfortunately we will no longer stay there they were not lenient to our health issues and that we had to cancel the celebration of life and reschedule it to September instead, they chose greed and to keep our money very sad. We really liked that park.

We've camped at Pine Ridge Campground for the past five years. Over that time, we've chosen to…read moreoverlook some ongoing issues -- including a strong and persistent natural gas smell, ant infestations, loud music from a nearby bar, and no real amenities for families. The playground is extremely outdated and rarely used -- it's telling that you almost never see kids riding bikes or playing in the park. Still, we returned each year, hoping for a peaceful stay. Unfortunately, this year changed everything. Managers Joe and Susan falsely accused us of having our dog off-leash (which he never was). We always keep him leashed and use an e-collar to help manage barking. Joe even admitted that no other campers had complained, and we've never had any dog-related issues at any other campground. Despite this, they continued circling our site in their golf cart, closely watching us, and bullying to the point of telling us we were no longer welcome--threatening to call the police for no valid reason. Joe even made a comment about noticing my dog was standing on our dinette table - so he was peering outside our window??? No wonder my dog barked at him. We closed all our shades the remainder of the weekend to avoid feeling like we were living in a fishbowl. This kind of targeting isn't new -- last year, Joe also rushed over in his golf cart to confront us about a visitor pass we had already paid for, showing a lack of trust and an overly aggressive approach. So yet another instance of over-the-top behavior that seems to define their management style. Additionally, communication at this campground is poor -- it's often hard to reach someone to even make a reservation, there's no automation and poor responsiveness. On what should have been a bustling, beautiful summer weekend, the park was nearly empty, which speaks volumes. After years of being respectful, loyal guests, we've decided it's time to move on. If you're looking for a welcoming, dog- or family-friendly campground with basic hospitality and amenities, we suggest looking elsewhere.

They just put in a new dock, which made it easier for us to launch our pontoon. We just recently stayed at a full hook-up at the "top of the hill." They've planted trees at every site, so we look forward to watching them grow and give shade at sites. Our friends from Ohio were very impressed by the way they kept everything so nice. In the past we walked several trails and spent time at Buttercup Beach. Just a really nice campground that we recommend you to visit.

I really wish I had read the reviews before coming here. But it was a last minute decision and…read moreclose to home. This is the worst campground I've ever been to. I've never felt so unwelcome at a campground in my entire life. The owners are flat out bigots. The "seasonal" campers do nothing but yell at you all day. Too fast - when I'm literally riding the brakes. Too fast - when I'm literally parked. Your hose is leaking - when it is their spigot that is coming out of the hookup. They scream at you for speeding and saying you're going more than 5 MPH. They have no clue what that looks like. But the seasonal campers come speeding through so fast that their tires are kicking up rocks at the kids in the area. The owner was cussing at my kids telling them to shut the fuck up. They threatened to call the cops on my kids because they stood at the pond (not in it) looking at the fish. There were other kids IN THE ACTUAL POND. Did I mention my kids are obviously mixed but the white kids didn't get yelled at? Mary (owner) and Dina (manager) actually looked at me and said we shouldn't even be there. So if you're white and a racist, you'll love this Klanground. I mean campground.

Horrible!!!!

Our stay at the Emmett KOA was a nightmare. The cabin we rented was infested with bed bugs. When we…read morebrought it up, the owner flat-out lied and told us they hadn't had bed bugs in"over 13 years." That was absolutely false. There are multiple reviews already citing bed bug issues, and staff members themselves admitted to us that it has been an ongoing problem. Even the pest control company they claimed to use confirmed they've been battling bed bugs here. Instead of taking responsibility, management hid behind their ridiculous 14-day cancellation policy and refused to refund our second night(which we didn't stay for obvious reasons). Their"solution" was insulting: a 20% discount for a future stay(as if anyone would want to come back!) and a handful of quarters so we could attempt to kill the bugs in our belongings using their dryer. The dishonesty from Toni and her father is appalling. Any business that knowingly lies to its customers about a health and cleanliness issue this serious has no integrity. Bed bugs are not a minor inconvenience- they spread, they infest, and they follow you home. We left disgusted and disappointed, and I strongly recommend avoiding this campground if you value your health, honesty, or basic respect as a paying customer.

The beach at Bishop Lake was too small for the amount of people and the water quality wasn't great. The water was shallow, murky, and slimy. The trail around the lake was also crowded and not peaceful. Many people were riding their bikes or walking in between the camp grounds and the beach. Some signs or trail activities were falling apart and in need of repair. If you want to be around a ton of people while enjoying the outdoors, you'd have fun. It wasn't for me.

My family purchases rec passes for all of our vehicles. When the booth worker, Connie, asked if I have a rec pass on my vehicle, I replied yes, and she waved me in. She did not stand up to view the sticker. I parked in the Bishop parking lot and soon after noticed a white vehicle speeding through the parking lot. Connie the booth worker blocked the back of my car into the parking space with her personal vehicle and jumped out screaming, so angry she was nearly foaming at the mouth. Connie jumped out of her car, and ran to my driver's side window screaming at me as I sat bewildered in the driver's seat of my car. "What do you mean you have a rec pass, you don't even have a Michigan plate?!! Go back to the booth!!" I asked Connie to remove her personal vehicle from blocking my vehicle and obstructing my movement. I told her I don't feel comfortable with her behavior and that I wanted to leave the park. Connie said, "Good, leave!" I stopped at the booth and asked for Connie's name and the contact information for a park's supervisor. Connie replied- you don't need my name. They know who I am in the park's office. She then walked into her booth and slammed the door. I had Deb with DNR drive to the booth to speak with Connie and address her bizarre and over the top behavior. When I asked Deb whether booth workers are deputized or authorized to pursue and block parks goers with their personal vehicles, she smartly replied, "What do you think?" MI Legislature allows DNR officers to write civil tickets only to visitors without a rec pass. Under no circumstances should a civilian booth worker impersonate an officer, chase, pursue or physically block a person who they believe is not carrying a rec pass.
