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.

Our annual visit did not disappoint!! The staff is the best of all koas we visited! Goes above to accommodate even last minute issues! Very clean nice spacing between sites! Can’t praise the friendliness of staff enough! I suppose the highest praise comes from my pup who is afraid of men but loved our host! Thank you for a wonderful time!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Gaylord South / Bradford Lake KOA! From the moment we pulled in, Jerome and Melissa made us feel incredibly welcome. Their friendly attitude and unmatched attention to detail set the tone for a fantastic trip. They even took the time to play with our puppy, which completely won us over—they treat you like family here.

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.

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.

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."
