Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

September 26 Summer vacation 1974 by RON

I remember camping here with my dad and sisters the summer of 1974.It was a strange time in our lives with our parents divorcing but that was the best memory we had that year.

March 31 A Family Tradition by Wendy

My parents started camping here when I was 18 months old. I am now 50. Three generations have seen the changes at this park. The memories of floating Platt River, singing around the campfire, and going to Sleeping Bear Dunes are lifetime memories. Thanks
