As usual we had a great stay. Even though there was a family reunion at the campground it was still very quiet. We always enjoy our stay and the staff (Jerome and Melissa) are always friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next stay.

We stopped by for an overnight stay and even Wilson our travel cat was greeted with a smile. The grounds are well maintained and the beach area would have been loved by our children in years past. An excellent stay for us, thanks.

Camp staff was great and park was clean. It was very quiet there as it was mostly older people. The long stay campers were very uninviting and not very friendly at all. This was our first stay with a KOA and not what we imagined it would be. There were no kid events or anything going on in the evenings like other parks. If you are older and want a place to stay that’s quiet this is your place.

Melissa and Jerome were phenomenal and so friendly!! We noticed they go above and beyond for us campers and couldn't be more thrilled with that! Will be definitely returning with more family and making Bradford our yearly camping spot!

This is our 3rd year staying at this KOA and have always been very satisfied of the Service that the park offers to the campers. Everyone working here makes sure you have everything you need for a wonderful camping experience. Bathrooms are very clean and the beach is refreshing on a hot summer day! Had fun with the Suffleboard game with our Grandsons!

Great hosts, very clean and quiet place to camp, everyone is always friendly

The cabin was cozy, clean, and well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen utensils that we were not expecting but excited to find, and access to laundry was fantastic. The air conditioning unit was amazing, with the poor air quality from the wildfires. The campground and beach are clean, pretty, quiet, and it has an awesome kid-friendly playground area, and beautiful nature surroundings.

Beautiful spot on the lake. The bathrooms were vary clean, staff was friendly and accommodating. The site we were in needed leveling and the women’s bathroom sink is great for short people, not as much for tall. Overall a great experience! Thank you

I've been camping there since 2017 and have always loved it. I wish the dock was still there to fish instead of boat slips.

Traveling home from the UP when the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was so intense, we cut our trip short. We called and talked to Melissa, who was so helpful in changing our original reservation. We have stayed here a few times now, and will definitely stay again. The bath house was extremely clean also. Beautiful campground!

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Our site was perfect and the campground is meticulous and it shows much pride in ownership. Lakefront is calming. Showers and bathrooms way above average. We will stay here again when in the area.

A great place to stay, we quill definitely be back. The staff is great and they keep a very clean campground. It is a smaller park but great for people looking for a quiet place to camp.

Great Hosts that run the place. Very clean and usable shower house. Nice concrete patios and plenty of room between sites. Not a lot of shade in the middle of the campground but still worth the 5 star rating, will go there again. Not a big campground which is nice but plenty to do there and in the Gaylord area.

We love Gaylord South/Bradford Lake KOA. Great owners/staff. Clean restrooms and showers. Very quiet and relaxing here. My grandchildren loved fishing off the docks and renting canoes.

Highly recommend this KOA. Very clean and well maintained. Nice beach area and lake with kayak & canoe rental’s available. Great fenced in area for the dogs to play. Staff is friendly and helpful.

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."
