(eg. flooded sites due to heavy rain or unexpected damage to site).

State law requires no more than 8 individuals on a site, this includes having someone visit you.  Please keep this in mind when asking to have visitors. Cabin occupancy is clearly stated in descriptions.  For safety and code reasons, please do not assume additional individuals beyond what  is stated for any given cabin will be allowed to stay with you.  Showing up with additional individuals will require the purchase of an additional site or being turned away without a refund.

Charging electric vehicles (EVs) at our pedestals is STRICTLY PROHIBITED as our circuitry is not rated nor intended to withstand the constant electrical draw that occurs with such use.  Doing so has the potential to damage our electrical infrastructure, your vehicle or both. We respectfully ask that you refrain from plugging in. Violators will be directed to immediately unplug their vehicle, are subject to any damages and/or will be evicted without refund. That being said, with the growing emergence and popularity of EVs in the United States, we are planning to install a specific EV Charging Station in the near future.  In the meantime, don't be discouraged as there are Level 2 and Tesla charging stations open to the public within 15 miles of the campground, and we would be happy to provide directions.

Although Michigan voters approved recreational use of marijuana in November 2018, management is exercising the legal right to control its use on our private property. In order to maintain a family-friendly camping environment, and due to previous issues, use of marijuana is PROHIBITED ANYWHERE OUTSIDE ON OUR GROUNDS and will be STRICTLY LIMITED to inside of your personal tent or camper. As a reminder, vaping or smoking of any kind is prohibited inside of our cabins. In management's exclusive opinion, any guest using marijuana that causes a disturbance to other campers will be required to immediately cease its use or face ejection from the park without refund.

As a family-friendly campground, alcoholic beverages are permitted, however, we ask that they remain only at your campsite. Please drink responsibly and in moderation.

All fires must be contained in fire rings and attended. Do not move fire rings.No ground fires.
Do NOT bring in firewood due to Emerald Ashborer disease and Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.

Connecting with nature and wildlife. Various types of wildlife big and small may be on this campground.  Be alert and give them distance and respect.  Keep dogs on a leash and properly store food, trash, and cooking supplies. Your safety and the future of wildlife depend on you.

We offer U-Pick blueberry picking FREE to all registered campers. Blueberry plants (Vaccinium spp.) produce white or pink flowers in spring. The flowers are pollinated by bees and soon after, small, green berries form. As the berries mature, they turn from green to pale blue and eventually to a dark blue or even purple color. How do you know when they're ripe? Taste them! Ripe berries will be soft and sweet!

Welcome to the Covert / South Haven KOA Holiday!

Matt Chapman started his KOA journey in 2018 after semi-retiring and going full-time traveling. Matt and his wife got a bit bored, so they decided to sign up for KOA work camping. The following day Amarillo KOA called looking for help. They jumped right on it and have not looked back since. Matt has worked at several KOAs, starting off in housekeeping. As mentioned before, they started in Amarillo, then went on to Wilcox, Chocorua, Nashville, Virginia Beach, Sugarloaf Key / Key West KOA, Albuquerque, and finally at the beautiful Covert / South Haven KOA Holiday.
