Park has been recently upgraded and it shows. The camping spots are nice and wide and level. Although we could not take advantage of the lake do to weather, the equipment offered for use and the facilities for swimming and boating are top notch. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.

We stayed here for the final 5 days of Octobers open season. It was perfectly located to Hartwick Pines, fly fishing on the Au Sable, and even a day trip to the UP. Staff was wonderful. The site pads could be a little wider otherwise, it was great. We will definitely be back next year!

Clean park and bathrooms, staff and owner friendly and accommodated all my requests. RV site firm and level. Had to use extended drain line for tanks due to my dump port at back of RV and site dump location near front of site. We are planning on returning next year.

we really liked the dog area, we could let our doges do their business off the leash. The campground was very clean and in great condition.

Needed to get away for some peace and quiet. Very happy that we achieved that. All was good except that the light on top of our electrical power hook up box was out and it was very difficult to see at night. Had to make sure I grabbed a flashlight every time I went out there at night. Notified the guy at the office on the second bay and he acted like he was going to take care of it but never did

With this campground being fairly new to the KOA family I was impressed. It is clean and well maintained from what we experienced. The real surprise was the internet connection. I could not locate the coax connection at the power box. I found out this campground uses the "Starlink" wireless system with repeaters placed around the camp.

The only thing I would change is the office hours. I am sure it was because it is the end of the season and staff is hard to come by

The park and facilities were great. My site was easy to get my trailer in and all sites were like mine. If you like doing things on water you have direct access to lake Bradford for swimming or boating.

Quiet campground. We stayed a week in mid-September. Lake was peaceful. Staff was friendly. Good jumping off location for northern Michigan.

Excellent !! The owners are :AWESOME" !! They are a younger couple who work extremely hard every day to make your stay a true memory of happy time in our lives that can be stressful at times!! A great place to leave everything behind and stop to smell the coffee !!!! The staff was excellent as well !!! Good Job !!! M&M

Super friendly and helpful staff. Stayed in the Lake House--outstanding accommodations! Nice, quiet, immaculate campground. We had perfect 80+ degree weather and were able to use the lake and beach still! Everything at this campground shows all of the hard work they have put in to make it a place all campers will enjoy staying at. We look forward to staying again!

Bradford Lake is a lovely area to relax and enjoy northern Michigan. The surrounding area offers a lot of options for things to do. Our dog loved meeting the elk in Gaylord!

Our stay was fantastic. The staff there were amazing, extremely friendly and polite. Cabin was very nice and I have to say those were some of the softest towels I have ever seen especially at a rental. Thanks had a great time and will definitely come back and recommend to everybody.

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."
