Markin Glen Campgrounds

"Good spot. We found well maintained sites, and clean washrooms and the price was great. We loved the walking and biking trails, wild flower meadows, trees, pond and birds. Also good access to the Kalamazoo River Trail and potentially to KalHaven too although we didn’t try that. Staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks for the tip about Firestone in Portage. One issue for us - no recycling bin. Just need one at the exit and you’re a perfect campground."

"Very nice campground with concret pads and all are fhu. Small lake to swim and fish but no kayaking or canoeing allowed. Small park for the kids but no other amenities. Lots of small trees for shade. We stayed on lot 10"

"This is a lovely little FHU county campground. We stayed here for 3 nights for about $36 a night. All sites and roads are paved. There is a nice bike trail that you can catch from the park that goes into Kalamazoo - great trails inside the park as well. Great staff and excellent camp hosts. The restrooms were outdated, but clean. My main concern was a camper next door had 6 pitbulls while tent camping - we didn't feel safe next to them with our older, gentle breed dog. Also, the 3pm check-in (strictly enforced) is pretty late - especially considering most campers leave around 10 or 11."

"Very clean, well-kept, campground. My friend called it "city camping" as it has concrete pads on every lot and few trees. Full hook up at their price is awesome. The pull thru lots were perfect. Lots of kids with bikes and hover boards. Nice beach area to swim and it's actually clean and sandy, although the "lake" looks man-made and eventually turns into more of a pond in the deep water. Kalamazoo River Valley trail (paved bike path) is right there to ride for miles, which we did. Would have given 5 stars if it had more shade trees, more activities and maybe a pool or other water feature. It was a very hot weekend and quite a walk to the beach area."

"Very nice county campground. Well maintained and quiet during our weekend visit in May. About 2/3 of campers were older with not kids. Rest were young couples and families. Sites are concrete pads and are long. There are two large ponds. One has a nice swimming beach. The other offers fishing. There is a paved path that goes around the two ponds. I don't consider it a week long campground but is a great place to stay while visiting family or as a stop off as part of a larger trip."
