We camped at Way Back campground llc in Michigan for three seasons, initially building strong…read morefriendships with the owners and their grandchildren. Our kids would eagerly await our weekly arrivals during the summers, often chatting and playing video games during the off-season. The campground initially offered family-friendly activities like hayrides and crafts.. these dwindled to events that included only our children and the owners' grandchildren, often overshadowed by drunken behavior unsuitable for kids. By the second season, that sense of community soured when the owners' friends/family began uninvited weekend parties on our campsite. Groups would show up, using our firewood and partying late into the night while our kids struggled to sleep, often leaving only after we became assertive and telling them to leave so we could go to bed. This disregard for our family's needs, compounded by other unsettling issues made it clearly evident that Way Back is not a family friendly campground. Our campsite being littered with debris from a previous burned, condemned camper on our lot, promises of cleanup that went unfulfilled for 3 seasons. Obscene drunken adult behaviors in front of children that went unaddressed, only created a growing sense of disappointment. We also faced safety concerns, such as homeless individuals using drugs and living in the campgrounds. Convicted sexual offenders and known drug addicts in the park. Hostile fighting and commotion usually provoked by and instigated by the owners. A lingering presence of inappropriate adults around children at the park. Despite our initial rapport and giving the owners multiple chances to make improvements, issues only escalated, leading us to strongly advise against this campground.

Tons of mature trees. Restrooms were ok but they are going to be getting a face lift soon. The spots are a little short for a trailer and vehicle but there is plenty of extra parking all over. Two playgrounds for the kids, a beautiful river for walking, wading, and at the right times canoe, kayak, float or splash. Town is close with walmart and meijer coming soon. We will be going back., it was a great relaxing weekend.

So beautiful and peaceful - i only came here to go hiking and i'm glad i did. There were…read morebutterflies everywhere and very minimum mosquitos - the grass was recently cut a few days ago which made the trail viewable. I had to use the ALL TRAIL app because they did wave in and out a little but thing were you'll get lost - its more of just missing additional trail and not getting all your steps in. Last but not least - i'm unsure if you're suppose to pay; at least when i went that day it was FREE but they did have signs posted of a list of fees. Since it was already an holiday because they decided to have the weekend free entry just be aware there's a possibility they might ask for some money. Lol! Happy hiking!!!

We are a family of 4 couples, each couple stayed in a different cabin. We stayed in Towhee, Flicker…read moreboth pet friendly one bedroom units with fold out couches, and Snipe and Redwing, studio units with pullout couches. We also rented the linens and towels. No one complained. These cabins are immaculate, equipped with kitchens, kitchen gadgets, heat, and screened in porches. The beds were comfortable, the towels fluffy and clean and the sheets soft. The windows opened, the doors and drawers opened and shut, the equipment was clean and worked. We used the refrigerators, the freezers, the range, microwave, toaster and coffee makers. We were pleasantly surprised to find kitchen towels and a dishrag along with dish soap. We used the grill located just outside the unit. Upon arriving we were greeted by Ranger Mark who explained everything and helped us get our linens to the units. There are lovely moderately difficult and very easy trails and walkways. The Rolling Oaks Trail is about a 3 mile off-the-grid trail. It has hills, grassy trails, flower fields and lots of twists and turns in the shade and sunshine. There's also a multi-use blacktopped trail which could be manageable for bikes, wheelchairs, and baby strollers. The Trine Recreation Area is part of the Indiana State Recreation Areas and its smaller and more private than others we have visited. It's wonderful. There's the option of boating, hiking, biking and there's a children's playground. Just across the highway there is Pokagon State Recreation Area that is much larger with a more diverse trail system along with horseback riding and an Inn as well as cabins and camping. It also has a black topped bike trail. We tried the short hikes one day and the 8 mile Devils Challenge another day. Pokagon SRA was busy, everyone was respectful of social distancing when passing. The hours for check-in 4 pm and it is 4 pm! Checkout is 11 am and they request you cleanup your cabin and pack up the linens and towels (if rented). It's no big deal and as long as you're respectful of the property the cleanup should be easy. The cabins are 5 years old and in great shape. You can see they are well maintained. My suggestions to further improve the units: one more shelf in kitchen high up on the level of the cabinet above the refrigerator. I struggled to find places for non-refrigerated foods of the floor. A full length mirror for those of us who need to be sure we are ready for the public (perfect spot on short wall near the bed head to the right of the pocket door) and some clothing hooks in the bedroom. The dresser is great but without a closet coats, hats and clothes that are worn regularly need hanging. It looks like maybe a few people have tried hanging off the curtain rods? We highly recommend Trine State Recreation Area and it's lovely cabins.

Narrows to the Rescue!…read more My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary in a VRBO on Lake Morrison, and the Pontoon that came with our rental stalled out in the middle of Lake Randall:o! We could not immediately get in touch with the owner of the rental nor his caretaker, but Narrows Pontoon and Cottage rentals not only answered our call, they dispatched Jim and Jack immediately to our rescue! They towed us in to our dock perfectly, and would not take any money for the service, not even a cash tip. They were timely, professional, and saved our Anniversary! We will forever be grateful and will always make sure to send business to the Narrows when we visit the North Chain of Lakes again. Thank you, Jim and Jack!

This place has true character that you can tell they have put their heart and soul into with taste and class saving this building from dereliction and destruction. This is definitely NOT a bored housewife weekend warrior type of B&B who has filled this place with a mismatch of unfitting antiques and Pier One chotchke. Having had to travel for a good part of my career I have stayed in many B& B's. This place will stay in my top 10 for sure and definitely hope to make the pilgrimage at least once a year. The hostess and her husband are amazing people and in the conversations had you can tell they are very genuine and have a love for the place. I can only hope that their children take up the same affection and continue on. It would be a definite loss for Jonesville and anyone who is not experienced it.

I cannot wait to return to this destination.

HATEFUL EMPLOYEES…read more Pulled in on a Friday afternoon, was given a map with some markings on it on where we were allowed to put our camper, we were old to pick a spot. Saturday rolled around and the campground employee came up on her golf cart told me to chain up my inactive 13 year old dog, as we should no arguments there but then she added that we were in the wrong spot. I apologized politely and said we had no idea. The map was confusing and I was told I should have called the office then. I'm usually the bigger person so I walked away and said we will move within 10 min. This woman was elderly and obviously a very unhappy person as her communication was short and bitchy with looks that could kill. Poor thing, anyway to work in serving the public I recommend to the campground owner that he hire someone with some class who will properly communicate with your renters or assist them by using the golf cart to escort them to the campsite location instead of drawing some lines on a map, or even telling us which side of the road we should park it on with respect. I'm sorry but nice goes a lot farther and we will not be back. She woke up and chose hate!
