Everything went well during the stay, but the showers had a particular smell and left a lingering odor on skin afterwards.

I really like this KOA and stay here at least twice a year. However, this trip another camper complained about someone in our group and the manager (I think) cussed at my husband when he went to applologize - he wasn't even the one who caused the issue. I understand the managers frustration, but dropping the F-bomb on a patron is not professional. A warming should of been issued as a first offense

This is a great place to spend some time. The sites have been recently updated and have good spacing. There is lake with beach and various water craft rentals. The managers are very helpful and want to make your stay a great one.

We loved it at S Gaylord! It was only 2 1/2 from home and while we are very familiar with Gaylord, it was nice to be back, visit with friends and enjoy the relaxing peace and quiet of fall at a campground. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms and showers very clean. Paddle boats and kayaks rentals are nice with this campground right on the lake. Will definitely return!

Stayed in the Lake House. Perfect for our first getaway of the year! It is an outstanding, generous-sized lodging and being also pet friendly is a bonus!! Thank you to the wonderful staff. The extra landscaping you have done in the campground really shows all of your hard work. Thank you for keeping this campground neat, quiet, and friendly. We are looking forward to our next stay with you.

We love this quiet little campground in the perfect spot of the main highway away from on the noise of everything except nature. The lake is beautiful. We go as fall is starting and leaves are changing, it is perfect! Melissa and Jerome and TJ and Elizabeth and very friendly and extremely helpful. We will be back again!

The lake is beautiful. After being on the beach I was looking forward to a hot shower, but ice cold is what I had. I was the only one in the bathhouse so either the mixing valve on the particular shower I was in was bad or something is wrong with the water heater. Either way I was very disappointed and very cold as I tried to get somewhat clean. ����

Enjoyed 4 days at the campground. Easy setup, not crowded, clean facilities and very helpful staff to assist with all your needs. Was nice to relax and watch the lakeview! This is our 2nd time camping here and we will be back in the future!

This was a very nice KOA on a lake. They offer a lot of amenities like a beach volleyball fishing kayaks canoes, etc. campsites are large. Showers and restrooms are well maintained. Some sites have large trees. The campground seems to be fairly new. Interior road and sites are gravel. If it has been raining you may need larger leveling pads as the gravel is not well packed yet. sites level

Very clean campground bathrooms/showers were always clean very friendly staff and great with our dogs nice beach with a spot for the dogs to go in the water. Only thing is I wish there was more places to take the dogs for a walk in the park besides the fenced dog yard. But overall it was a great stay

Beautiful campground generously sized sites with views of the lake. We arrived after 5 and our info was in the box and the fire wood was left at our site. Would highly recommend this one!

Too many stones and you have to pay more money for a block of cement on a lot. Ridiculous

Great place and very nice people. They even thought I left something at my site and forgot it. Texted me and really it was a bad hose I forgot to put in the trash. They are great. Also very camp ground and next to all the good areas.

We really enjoyed our night at the Bradford Lake KOA in MI! As the view from our site was awesome! We enoyed it so much that we even asked if we could stay another night- but unfortunately our particular site was already booked (& the sites next to it). So we will be back and ask for the same site again!

This was our 2nd time staying here. Love the campsite we were at. Our kids went fishing basically the whole time. Nice playground and a new jumping pillow. Very quiet campground. One of our new favorites!

Melissa and Jerome was the best host . They were very welcoming and professional. The place was clean. It was cold out . However they had the heat on in the cabin. The bathrooms were clean. The grounds are beautiful. I highly recommend this place.

Jerome was wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. Overall we felt that the dog amenities need an upgrade and this is the only koa we have ever stayed at that had zero activities scheduled.

This is my absolute favorite KOA!!!! Elizabeth and Chris are outstanding, Jerome and Melissa are fantastic!!! They have the best Lake House, you can sit in the screened in porch and see Big Bradford lake while you have your morning coffee, so quiet and relaxing.
