Great campground! It was super quiet compared to others and the bathrooms were clean. The beach was clean and you can rent pontoons, kayaks and canoes at the front of the park. Would come back again
1st time camping there. The staff were very friendly. They have over 4500 acres to view. The campground is very clean. I highly recommend it.
Such an under rated state park. It’s definitely one of my favorite places. Great place for kids, fishing, canoe/kayaking, swimming, camping, hiking and exploring. This is honestly a little hidden gem among Michigan state parks. The 3 rustic campgrounds in this recreation area are amazing!! I highly recommend Devoe or the Ranch due to the large more private sites. Devoe feels like you are camping in the forest while the Ranch is more of a field with trees in between sites. The modern campground (Grousehaven) is not quite as nice due to the sites being so small and on top of each other. Grouseheaven might be better if you need electricity and don’t mind the feel of an RV park. It also has a really nice modern bath house and facilities. However, I promise you if you stay in any of the rustic loops, you won’t regret it.
This is the second year in a row we have camp here. Love the walking bridge and the tower that looks out over at least 3 ponds. So many trails to go on and of course the fishing also. There at least 3 beaches to swim. If you are bored here it would be your own fault. So much to do. The restrooms are pretty clean at the modern campsites. Not sure about the outhouses. Haven't used those one since they are at the rustic sites.
