Benton Harbor, Michigan Campground | Coloma / St. Joseph KOA

The closest KOA to beautiful Lake Michigan (only 2 miles) located in the unincorporated town of Riverside and in the heart of southwestern Michigan's fruit country this KOA offers unrivaled proximity to area attractions.

The closest KOA to beautiful Lake Michigan in southwest Michigan puts you within minutes away from several beaches in the St. Joseph and South Haven area. A wooded setting with mature trees throughout the park provide shade on hot summer days, and our family-friendly atmosphere makes us the place to be!

Paddlers will enjoy being centrally located to public access points along the Paw Paw River Water Trail. Perhaps you will choose to go to Lake Michigan to frolic on white sand beaches, visit beautiful lighthouses, spend time kayaking and paddle boarding or charter a fishing or expedition or sail boat cruise.

We are also in the heart of southwestern Michigan's fruit country, enabling guests to visit several orchards, u-pick farms, fruit markets, and award-winning vineyards. Other points of interest include antique shops and golf courses, as well as a children's museum, splash pad and carousel in St. Joseph. The area hosts many weekend festivals, and you're only about 8 miles from a casino.

Relax at our campground or be as active as you'd like to be at the pool, hot tub, bouncing on the Jumping Pillow, riding the fun bike rentals, playing mini golf, swinging at the playground, watching cable TV, surfing our free Wi-Fi and more. Planned, staff-led activities and ice cream socials held throughout the summer.

Guests will also enjoy our paved roads and General Store and Cafe where they will find unique gifts/souvenirs, toys, groceries, and more. We also proudly serve Hunt Brothers Pizza and wings along with ice cream and other great summer time treats!

Nice campground. Friendly staff. Convenient location 8/17/2019

Took the family to this KOA so that we could explore St. Joseph’s and Saugatuck. Of the three campgrounds we stayed at this summer, this one was definitely the best. Kids loved the pool and hot tub and the mini golf and jumping pillow were a hit. Would definitely go back! 8/17/2019

The check in was smooth and the park seemed very respectful and quiet. We didn't use many of the facilities as we were basically an overnighter - in and out the next morning... 8/15/2019

Very nice place, well maintained and friendly staff. Loved our site. I would recomend grills for the fire pits. Bring your own if you want to cook on your fire pit. 8/14/2019

Beautiful campground. Nice big sites. The pool and hot tub were clean, jumping bag was so fun, mini-golf was great and just overall beautiful park. Would absolutely stay again. 8/13/2019

Everyone and everything about this KOA is top notch!!! I am a returning guest and will keep coming back. The owners are incredible!! 8/12/2019

Enjoyed the time we spent at Coloma/St. Joseph KOA. The campground had plenty if shade, and seemed to be well run. Turns are a bit tight for bigger rigs, but manageable if you take your time. 8/12/2019

Bathrooms needed cleaning! Park was full so they were being used a lot. Too many kids riding bikes not obeying the rules. Surprised that someone does not get hurt. Going every which way they pleased. Liked that the roads were paved and park seem to be clean. Would come back 8/12/2019

We love this campground. The owners are very friendly and around if you need anything. It is small and quiet and covered with trees for a great shaded camp spot. All the employees are very helpful and nice. 8/11/2019

I tented a cabin for my daughter and her girlfriend for 2 days because they were ina wedding close by. They enjoyed their time spent there. 8/11/2019

Just traveling thru with motor home & toad. We could not hook up to water, sewer,or cable. They were set too far back of lot. Would have to unhook toad if I wanted to hook up to them. Should have given me a different lot with set up closer. 8/11/2019

We stayed at a lot of a KOA parks in Michigan. This is one of the best if not the best. The park is treed, immaculate and the spacious sites level. There are numerous activities for families yet quiet for seniors. We enjoyed the on site cafe (soft serve ice creams, pizza... 8/10/2019
