As a top destination for tourists, we are just minutes away from several world-class beaches in the St Joseph and South Haven areas as well as many farms, orchards, wineries & micro-breweries. Our campground offers a wooded setting with mature trees throughout the park provides shade on hot summer days, and our family friendly atmosphere and team-approach makes us the place to be!
