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!

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!

I was great!!

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

Scenic campgrounds alongside a nice lake with access. Peaceful and friendly staff

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."
