Campgrounds-R-Us — Hotel in Owosso Charter Township

Amazing campground 30 mins away from our house. We haven't been camping since covid hit and moved to Okemos mi so with my wife's researching she found this campground in Owosso, so I decided to take just me and daughter for a one night trial run. We were blow away by first our spot so close to the beach but everything here to do. There is a huge assortment of playground equipment, buried pillow jumper, pedal boat rentals, kayak rentals, paddle board rentals, catch n release fishing, and the check in office has plenty of snacks, beer, memorabilia , even pints of ice cream. There a tons of those huge arondeck chairs with steel top umbrellas all over the beach area and by equipment. They play a good variety of music throughout the day on speakers in the center of the beach area. Campsites have nice firepits and a picnic table, full hookup 30/50amp service with another receptacle available as well. For us it was $57 for one night but we stayed on a Monday night end of June so might go up diff times idk. The campground is surrounded by a huge man made lake that used to be a gravel pit, it's treated so no funk anywhere nice turquoise color can't speak on the fishing but there are plenty of reeds and tree roots on the far side sure there is something over there. Everything here is well built well maintained and well invested my opinion. They appear to be expanding so that won't change anytime soon I'm sure. I think we found our camping destination from here on out. Def check it out you won't be...

I didn’t even camp here, I went there for the day to visit family. This place is ridiculous and only cares about the money. For starters, there is no grass. Only campsites that have grass is the campers that are there year round. The other campsites have nothing but pea rock. It’s honestly depressing. Who wants to come camping and see pea rock? Most of the time when people camp, they want to see nature. They want to be in nature. Also, there’s hardly any room for campers. They have the placed so jammed packed, it’s very difficult to get a decent size trailer in. I guess they were expecting to have everyone come in small trailers? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️Second, they have so many rules. I understand that you have to have rules to keep what you built nice, but they have too many rules. Oh and if you break a rule, they will not hesitate even a second to yell at you and let you know. Thirdly, there isn’t really much for the kiddos to do here. Yes, they do have a nice beach area/ play area, but that’s it. Oh and let’s not mention that I’ve heard this place kicking people out over the most ridiculous things ever. Honestly, if I could give them 0 stars I could. I’ll never be returning. This place is a sad campground. Honestly felt like I was at a prison campground....

Great little campground. Just an FYI, if you make your reservation and plan on staying there less than 2 weeks from the date you make your reservation (ie: same day or quick weekend get away), they WILL NOT refund you if you need to change it. Even if you call less than an hour later to cancel. The cancelation policy only states "there is a fee to cancel less than 2 weeks before scheduled date" or something very similar. It doesn't say you forfeit the entire amount of the stay PLUS the cancelation fee. Other than not being clear on their cancelation terms/refund policy, it is an ok campground. We were in the brand new section. The pea gravel was SUPER SOFT and we could have easily gotten stuck. We were fortunate that the people at the site next to us warned us first. We had to come much later than anticipated so we called ahead. Our registration info was labeled and taped to the window and someone was waiting by the fire for us to arrive (by the main office). They let us fully check in the next morning. The camp store was HUGE as was the playground. Definitely gives another commercial chain of campsites a run for their money. I would stay here VS "those other Kampground"...
