Campground Reviews

Lake house & campground is always very clean. Staff is extremely helpful, responsive to our needs, friendly & respectful. We have been staying here for over 20 years and love it, pre-dating it being a KOA. Its location is ideal for day trips in all directions.

Great stay. Upgraded our site so we had a concrete pad. It was nice since it did rain a full day. Campground was well kept with a nice bath house and bathrooms and showers. The lake is really big and you can bring a boat and put in it. Very nice beach area for swimming. Canoes, paddle boats and kyaks we there for rental. Although it was on the cool side we did enjoy our stay and will be back.

We stayed in the deluxe cabin it was perfect!! Very comfortable! You should have Falloween at the campground that's the only thing they could've made the weekend better �

Other than the bathroom door not latching and staying closed, this was our second time staying here. there will most likely be a third time in the future. My grandparents had a cabin on Big Bradford, so i know the area well.

Busy holiday weekend - seems to be many locals that enjoy this campground and its accessibility to the lake. Great beach area, clean bathrooms, and family activities planned by staff. Staff was super friendly and helpful, especially the guy that assists with parking at site. I think his name was Jerome. Always waving and friendly.

This was our 8th year staying here. Our class has its annual Sr Skip Weekend at Big Bradford Lake KOA. We rent the lake house and the deluxe cabins and have a great time spending the weekend together making new memories.

We stayed two nights, 9/11 and 9/12 and checked out on 9/13/26. It was a perfect weekend. The camp was clean as usual and the cabin was perfect. We had a great bonfire and enjoyed the live band in the pavilion Saturday night. The grounds are always well maintained and our kids enjoyed the playground and water. We love staying at Gaylord Bradford Lake for all those reasons, it's perfect !

We only stayed here one night on our way home from the UP but we were very happy with our stay! We’ve stayed here previously, but we met Joe the new owner this time and he’s done some great updates to the campground!! The site was big and the lake is nice . The bathrooms were very clean. We will stay longer next time! Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Gaylord South KOA! The grounds are well-maintained and the staff is super friendly. While the beach was great, the upgraded site with comfy patio furniture and smokeless Solo Stove was a real game-changer. We highly recommend this campground!

The only issue I had was when I asked for a dock for my boat in May they said just come up to the office when we come in September and they would set me up with a dock. The day before our stay they told me that they didn't have a dock for my boat. I was a little upset about that. Otherwise our stay was great. Very clean and well kept up. Staff were very nice and helpful. I will definitely be back.

Enjoyable time and able to check in late at night with no issues. Very easy to rent kayaks and purchase items from the store. Thank you very much for a pleasant stay!

Very clean, the hosts are very nice. We really enjoyed our stay there, the only criticism is they could use some new fire pits but otherwise a great place to stay!
Sep 08, 2026
Everything was great, the only thing they should consider is a walking path through the middle up to the bathroom/shower area. Thanks again

The park was so clean, quiet & well maintained. The hosts were very friendly & helpful with advice about local attractions. They were generous with their time in answering questions. We will return when we’re in this area.

Very nice campground. Nice bathrooms and on a beautiful lake. Grounds are very well taken care of. Had quite abit of color change also. Did some site seeing but for the most part, just relaxed. Will definitely go back next year.

Excerpts from the Autobiograhy of David Ward ..."The evening we reached Bradford Lake the wind turned south accompanied by gushes of warm air so that by five o'clock in the afternoon of April first the snow level had lowered fully two feet. The wind then changd to the West and it froze lightly that night. I selected on April first some nice cork pine lots on the West side of Bradford Lake, which I lately sold to Henry Stephens & Co."
