My family has been visiting Michigan for 30 plus years and we have always spent lots of time and…read moremoney at AJs. This year our crew was so excited. We spent $90 to ride for about 4 minutes and kids left crying. The younger guys were on their phones and I had to stop my cart to tell them someone had spun out. We had two new drivers and after being screamed at for "bumping" in such an aggressive manner they left in tears. They could have corrected them or approached the situation very differently which could have prevented a ruined night and tears. The worst part was the older gentlemen who came out and continued to scream at our kids and then started yelling at the adults. It was unnecessary and unprofessional and we won't be back. Not sure if there is new ownership or new management but we have never been tested so poorly there.

Not bad mini golf. Lots of stairs up and down, beautiful waterfalls, with 18 (?) holes. The holes…read moreare pretty straightforward and aren't super creative, but my family ages 9-60 y.o. has fun.

Golf course is in very good condition. Played the short course, enjoyed it thoroughly, but if I'm being honest I can't say it's worth $49 for a 9 hole par 3 course.

They now have a few shelters for rain or hot sun which was really helpful when we got caught in a downpour this past week. The clerk at the desk was friendly and explained how the course works. They have a kids and senior rate. They have a nice waiting area with bag toss, picnic tables and large connect Four. I love the little placards at each hole telling about the ludington landmarks. Also since this is a Jaycee run place, they give a lot of money to support the community. I love this place and we try to bring our family here every year when we're in town. Great family experience!

My friends and I were supposed to go to a music festival out of the state last fall but of course…read moreplans changed, so we decided to book a camping weekend at Orchard Beach State Park instead. Located in Manistee, there is plenty to do nearby but unfortunately the weather was pretty rainy for most of the weekend we were there. The access to the beach was closed due to erosion but there are other beaches available. Checking in was easy and there is onsite ice and firewood for sale. The host site was awesome with lots of books for use and a whiteboard with local info. Our site had water and electric hookup, so we were tucked in amongst several RVs and motor homes. The campground was very quiet, which was nice! The restroom facilities were clean and functional, although one had a small set of stairs leading into the actual bathroom area which made it not so accessible. We were on spot 95, which is right near the highway. We knew this going in and could see from the photos that it didn't look that close. Well, it was pretty close, and very loud with road noise. This wasn't a big deal for us but if noise bothers you I'd skip this part of the campground. Another thing to note is that some of the sites hold water when it's been raining, so maybe not the best for tent camping. Our site seemed ok but it was mostly dirt so it did get a little muddy. Nothing too terrible, though. Overall we enjoyed our stay but this definitely wasn't my favorite of the state parks we've visited or camped at. There is a nice lookout point over the lake that made for some nice photos, and getting into town was easy.

The campground is wonderful and we really loved that it was one that was more underrated and less trafficked. We had a prime camping spot with an uninterrupted view of the lake and even though the weather we had during this weekend wasn't the best, we made do with cozy time in the tent, did a hike through the state park that was lovely and well maintained, and explored the nearby downtown of Manistee, of which Orchard Beach State Park is located just 5-10 minutes north! A wonderful weekend and state park in my books!

There are lots of benches and picnic tables surrounding the play areas, many of which are in the shade. RESTROOMS are indoors and have modern plumbing. There are 2 stalls in the women's;1 stall plus a urinal in the men's. PARKING is free and abundant. There's a parking lot plus on-street parking. There is a walking trail along Lake Michigan that also goes by two marinas. You can also see the SS Badger enter and leave port from the park. We will definitely return to this park if we're in the area again! The park is totally free and the kids love it!
