I love the place. I’ll return next spring for the summer. Melissa and Jerome are more than just camper worker they are the hostesses with a smile. They go above and beyond.

Great stay. Just need to have KOA signs at least 1 mile out. Also, add more gravel instead of mulch. Mulch tracks into the RVs like wet grass, particularly when it rains. Overall, great stay. Very attentive crew and outstanding customer service.

We pull a 30 foot TT and just barely fit lengthwise. But it worked. The sites are wider than most KOAs we've stayed at. Most pull-through sites had a large concrete slab surrounded by woodchips and landscaping. Utilities convenient and worked as expected. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent. All the equipment looked new and clean. Beautiful lake. Gaylord & Grayling are nearby.

Sites are large. Campground is quiet. Owners are friendly and gracious. This place is very dog friendly, there is even a dog area with access to the lake. We will definitely be back. Landscaping is very nice and will be beautiful in a few more years. Thank you for a relaxing stay.

It was good overall the only thing I would think of is the water being so rusty and even hard to wash with due to the old pipes

Nice spot along the lake. Employees went beyond help when we had trailer problems. Would highly recommend.

We arrived after hours, they had our packet info for us outside with our site info. We followed the map to our site and our light was on. Everything was clean and was a very nice place. Will stay again when in the area. Thank you

Very quiet , peaceful, relaxing.... Great people and the amenities are just enough! Very clean bathrooms and showers, plenty of hot water, clean!! Love this park! Already made reservations to come back!!

A couple of things that could improve our experience: 1). Showers would be much better if they had more water flow, shower heads are way too restrictive. 2) A water softener would go a long way to improving the shower experience. Way too hard of water with strong iron smell. The rest of our stay was great, everything was very nice neat and clean.

Beautiful campground & lake that is well maintained & clean. The staff are friendly & helpful with camping situations. The sites are large & the full hookups are very convenient. Lots of 4 wheeling trails all around the area & fishing lakes are abundant. Gaylord is 20 minutes away for dining or shopping needs. We love camping at Bradford lake KOA & will be returning.

This is a gem of a KOA. Even tho we were only there one night, I would be very willing to come back and encourage anyone else to use it.

They had a big job cleaning up cabin number four, which I was booked for. They considered putting me in a different cabin, but worked really hard at getting my favorite one cleaned, and I was able to use that one. Couldn't ask for better staff.

It was awesome....very friendly host/hostess, helpful, knowledgeable, clean facilities, I would definitely rebook at another time in the near future

Beautiful campground right by a beautiful lake with sandy beach. We were welcomed by the owner who was very welcoming and pleased to have us. The laundry room was very clean and well run with credit card activated washers and dryers. Easy to use. Bathrooms were clean. Lovely experience.

Small but very friendly campground. We had a wonderful weekend with family and enjoyed some time with grandkids on the lake.

We love this KOA!. This KOA is conveniently located right off I-75 for an easy off/easy on stay. The campground managers are very nice with great customer service. The campground is very clean and has been well taken care of. This is a great stop when heading to Michigan's Upper Pennisula or on our way back home.....and a very delicious restaurant closeby - Gobblers which is right off I-75.

One of the best KOAs we have stayed in. Elizabeth, Jerome and Melissa went above a beyond to make our stay very memorable. They are so friendly and accommodating to everyone's needs. Loved the cabin right by the lake. And going kayaking was very fun.

Campgrounds can be luxurious, wonderful, sufficient, mediocre, or EH! It's the people that make the difference. The folks at Gaylord South were a delight and pleasure to meet and engage before I ever saw my campsite which was a pleasant place to be for one night in a "passing through" mode.

We like this campground. It is quiet, clean and very well laid out. If we’re in the area, this is definitely where we’ll stay.

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."
