Muskegon KOA

"I wasn’t expecting a whole lot but it still fell short of places we like to camp. The first thing is either a love it or hate it complaint that can’t be fixed unless the campground were to be moved. It’s the location. It’s literally 30 yards from the guardrails on 31 North so it’s extremely loud. It was really hard to sleep. The noise of the 75-80mph traffic along the expressway penetrates the walls of even the finest coach’s. The second issue is the water. I have no idea what is wrong with it but I’m flushing the pipes of our camper this week. I have a filter on the fresh water hose and a filter before the pump. Even then it still flows brown. I’ve never seen well water this dark. It was scary. Enough so that my wife would only brush her teeth with water bottles. The third issue needs to be addressed by either the city, county or whoever maintains the road. It’s a washboard dirt road. One the will loosen your fillings in your teeth. Campers don’t do well on roads like this and we try to avoid them whenever possible. The road in needs serious attention and if I was the owners of the KOA I’d either be screaming to the road commission or paying to have it done. It’s only about a half mile but one way or another someone needs to grade it to make it more passable for patrons. Other than that I didn’t think it was bad. It’s a KOA so you know what to expect. Fun activities and a pond. Good view inside the campground and pull through lots. What you’d expect at a KOA."

"This was our first time here and last. The camp is located very close to the highway and therefore the noise was unbelievably loud all day and night. Specially at night was impossible to sleep and because of that we left earlier than we planned. The bathrooms are very small and in very bad conditions. Only one out of two showers worked and the taste of the water to wash your mouth was horrible (take bottles of water). We love camping but this time was our worst experience ever."

"I'm so impressed with the management here. They checked daily to make sure everyone had a parking pass and allowed one vehicle per site which really helped keep traffic down with kids playing. The extra parking for the extra vehicle wasn't far from the camping sites. Everyone here was very nice and they kept everyone following the rules so everyone was able to have a nice time. We will definitely be back."

"I wish I would have looked at reviews before staying I was wrong for assuming that since it was a KOA campground that I could expect to have a good experience. This was by far the worst camping experience we have ever had. The ONLY positive thing about this campground is its proximity to Michigan adventure. The camp ground itself is not maintained at all. It is dirty the water for full hook up is yellow. The “private lake” is disgusting. But the worst thing about this campground is how absolutely rude the staff here is. The owner being the WORST of them all. They are determined to argue with you about absolutely everything and make up rules along the way. It was so bad that we packed up a day early to avoid any further altercations with these irrational people. Although it appears if you are a “permanent “ camper here you are allowed to do anything you want. Don’t make the same mistake we did I am almost embarrassed at how much money me and the rest of our party spent at this campground."

"Our campsite & the 2 lakes on site were great. The trails around the lakes were great for walking & had a few spots to pull off and watch the water or fish. The campground is right off the highway which made for convenient travel to the beach & other day trips but also made for loud traffic sounds at night, fine for anyone who doesn’t mind the white noise. Our main struggle with our experience was the bathrooms, similar to many other reviews listed. While we never expect much out of a camping bathroom, grateful for any kind of shower at the end of the day, the women’s bathroom did not appear to be cleaned for the duration of the 4 day stay, with two toilets remaining clogged for at least two days. The men’s bathroom had fecal matter smeared on the floor for over 12 hours & was not cleaned until complaints were made directly to the owner. While the location is nice & the staff in general was friendly, the professionalism of the owner leaves much to be desired. Blaming the mess of the facilities on the campers (specifically kids) rather than take responsibility or offer any apology to the patrons left quite the sour taste by the time we made our departure. Overall we had a nice stay up until our last day."
