We had a fantastic time, thank you. The site was clean and neat as well as the facilities. KOA staff were awesome, real friendly and attentive. We are definitely planning on returning and we HIGHLY recommend this KOA to anyone enjoying camping and trail riding.

Fantastic campground with awesome staff. Right on Bradford Lake which has great fishing and paddling. Playground and beach were really nice. Bathrooms/showers were spotlessly clean. Lots of pretty plants at the campsites. Do bring the bug spray - the mosquitos are ravenous! We'll be back.

The Bradford Lake KOA is the best, we come back every year. The staff are wonderful people, friendly outgoing. I recommend it to anyone to stay there.

This was our 3rd time staying with this KOA campground. It was very relaxing, when we arrived, the husband and wife who run the campground made us feel like family or friends they had not seen for a long time. It's really awesome to feel welcome. We like this as a starting point for our day trips to various parts of northern Michigan.

This campground is FANTASTIC! Clean inside and out. Everything that creates a reason to come back again! The staff, Melissa & Jerome were exceptionally helpful. Elizabeth and Chris, I thought they were another happy camper family enjoying their stay just like us! This is what KOA should be! I stay at several KOAs each year. This should be the standard for all others to follow! Thank You!

Lots of ant hills in the spot. Not sure why KOA allows 2 campgrounds named Gaylord KOA. Loose dogs. Bathrooms were average.

The couple that manages the Bradford Lake KOA is very welcoming and friendly. Eager to help in any way to make your stay the best it can be. They went over and above, and I would HIGHLY recommend this campground to anyone!

We really enjoyed our stay here, the owners make a great team. They were very thoughtful in communicating what sites were available and would accommodate us and our children. They have a great playground area for kids, a nice beach area to swim and fishing as well. We will definitely be visiting again.

This campground is one of our favorites. The sites on the lake are stunning. The facilities are well cared for and the owners are gems. We will always stay here on our way through upper MI. Even if it is 30 degrees in the morning!

Very helpful and kind owners

We have stayed there last year and wanted it to be our first this year. It was a cold weekend but had a great, relaxing time. As usual, Jerome and Melissa were great hosts, even got us an extra blanket to use as it was colder than we were anticipating on Saturday night. Always very good to us and our dog Buddy. We will camp there again soon and already have dates reserved for the fall.

The water was hard water with a strong sulfur smell it was difficult to get smell out my hair. The lot was nice with concrete pad and fire pit. Our space had a tree with acorns that fell around the clock onto our camper. Not a happy place

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!

A very clean and quiet place to stay. Satf is great and very friendly.

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.

Would definitely go back towards the end of the camping season. Colors were gorgeous. Campground very clean & the hostesses were very kind. Good location. Rate between Grayling & Gaylord.
