Stony Creek Metropark — Attraction in Shelby Charter Township

Hey everyone, I was just there this weekend. I booked my reservation over the phone and upon me booking, I made several calls in advance to make sure I understand everything. One call in particular, I asked the lady if I can come early and set up but not check in until 1pm (which was their check in time) the lady reinsured me I could. I got there at 8am to only be told, I couldn't set up until 1pm. The staff showed no concern for the inconvenience.

Next, thing that occurred is, there was a ghetto family that booked the site right next to mine. They party until 3 am. There music was loud and inappropriate for family with kids. They were singing out loud, talking out loud. They were everything of a hot mess. Quiet time was at 10pm. I reached out to the campus cops and nothing was done. The loud noise continued up until 3am. The cops came the next day in the evening well after the ghetto people was gone. The cops were nice but nothing was done when I reached out to them. When the cops approached me they insinuated that my site was making the noise which was not right. It was the site next to me. They were trying to figure out, how did I make a noise complaint if I was the one making the noise. They had the story all wrong and if they would have did their job, they would have seen/heard where the noise was coming from.

Upon me calling to see if I needed to check out, I shared my experience with the front office. Between Terry (the lady that told me I couldn't set up early) Donna (the lady that I voice my concern too) showed no remorse. They didn't care. I was embarrassed that my family had to have this type of experience at their campsite. There was no type of customer service or accomodations given for any of our troubles. I will never stay at this campsite again. It's a beautiful park, don't get me wrong but they need better staff to run it.

Also the showers didn't have curtains. My son caught a guy staring at him at one point and the guy had his phone out. It was very uncomfortable. Hopefully he wasn't...

Everyone loves Stoney creek & I do as well. But the fireworks were the stupidest thing to even post online because it was full to begin with. People still work on Fridays & can’t go in early for the activities or attractions. Me & my friends all wanted to go right before it starts so we can watch & leave that’s it. So we drove there & we got to the gate & people kept driving around & not pass the gate, I didn’t understand why. But then they said it was “full” how is it full when theirs a full park, it’s huge I don’t see why it’s “full”. I would understand if they closed off the area where theirs fireworks but not where theirs multiple spots where your able to sit & close the entire park. How is everyone else going to watch, not everyone wants to come earlier because work or etc. it sucked that everybody was trying to find a way to watch & constantly driving around back & forth is just sad. I think a lot of people were upset about this situation because why the hell can’t we watch, it was not full, it’s a huge park. A lot of people were trying to watch from different areas but it was deep in the park we tried to park. But we ended parking by Stoney creek grill across but the problem their is so many trees that no one barely sees. I just think this was very annoying that they stopped everyone coming in, when it wasn’t full...

I absolutely adore Stony Creek Metropark. Over the years my family and I have visited, not only for simple outdoor enjoyment and swimming, but for a range of events; 5K races, Night of the Dragon, Nature center programs, and birthday parties. They have a multitude of different areas throughout the park, so there are a ton of options for your day, and it's also pet friendly in the majority of areas (minus the nature center, beach, and no swimming at the lake). You could take your kids to their large play area at Eastwood beach, head out for some disc golfing, stay the weekend at their campground, head to the boat drop in and spend the day in the lake, take a swim and enjoy the beach, hike one of the many trails, or take your pup to one of the two off leash dog park areas. There are bathroom facilities available throughout the park, as well as benches, picnic tables and charcoal grills found in multiple locations. Really everything you could need to enjoy a day out in Nature, both on you own or with family/friends. Everything appears very well maintained, and staff has always been helpful and kind on the few times I needed to speak to someone. I highly, highly recommend Stony Creek Metropark....
