Oxbow Park — Hotel in Big Prairie Township

I've stayed at this campground since it opened ,we've came almost every year since then The last 5 years we've stayed in cabins . This is by far worst year we've ever had we were singled from start , we were told within first few days we were under investigation we had trash can by us and campers filled it and they came and removed and the guy said your under investigation now 😢 then they tried whole Summer telling us to leave lied about camp being full told we had to leave for damnation weekend cuz it was no place for kids. I'm not saying we were perfect we have kids n were staying whole summer but they are the sweetest kids just alittle hyper they singled us out made us feel like we we didn't belong there and made are Sumner so damn horrible by way we were treated . Then today they told us we had to leave n locked are card out they were so damn rude all summer . We had a horrible lady yell at us about our autistic baby after we warned her about him sometimes tripping out at nite she run to office everyone complaining about something and we weren't partyers or trouble even after all the crap we took all Summer the host told us we were some of the best campers there and Least amount of trouble. Then today they kicked us out and told us we wasnt allow here anymore ,I'm beyond hurt my whole family was coming up this weekend and renting the cabins .I just don't understand why we were treated so bad I've loved this campground my whole life tell everyone about it and how great it is . I'm so lost right now and so hurt. They've even told other campers not to play...

Found this place called OXBOW CAMPGROUND in COLUMBIAVILLE on @googlemaps looking for a weekend getaway that was still close to home and knew this was the place to be so I pulled up expeditiously! You hike 1.5 miles into this low key bugout spot that some of the people in town don’t even know about. The scenery is amazing and the ZEN I felt standing along the riverbank just listening to the water flow is something I won’t forget. The only reason I bring my firearm is for animals that are larger than I and possible crazy folks that I may encounter on my path to seek enlightenment. Plus… THIS IS PURE MICHIGAN it’s LEGAL.

So this is how it goes… you park in a turnaround spot get out and mount up to go directly into the forest. It’s a trek thru the woods but leisurely and depending on your conditioning it’ll take you 1-2 trips based on what you need to bring to set up camp. It’s been raining for days all over the state so I brung firewood which forced me to make the extra trip after setting up base camp.

If you are looking to obtain a weekend of PEACE where most certainly nobody will be this is the spot for YOU and we can make that happen on “ADVENTURES...

Seasonal have it made, the others get kinda crapy sites. Wish they had pictures of what the sites looked like before we booked our site, too many trees it was almost impossible to get into the site. However, we made it work. Nice campground otherwise, staff were friendly and had no issues. Definitely a party place but didn't bother us, I could see if people like quiet, they wouldn't like it here. What did bother us was the lamp post shining all night long, so bright. Thank goodness for blackout shades. Dump station is backwards, good luck trying to dump, we ended leaving and paying elsewhere to dump. I'd go again but only if we could get near the water sites or if they ever offer full hookups in the future. Did not do the beach here, were drove an hour away to do Lake Michigan at Muskegon...
