Michigan Oaks Camping Resort

We like staying in state parks and this place had that state park feel with lots of trees, greenery and families. BUT, this park has many things wrong. The power and water are placed in the most random places. It seems every camper had to figure out how to park their rigs to reach. Many times campers had to be pulled in instead of backed in because of the locations of electricity and water. When the temperature reached the upper 80s outside, the power source must not have been able to keep up and my rig was dropping electricity constantly and had to run my generator for air conditioning. Also, trees along the roads in some places made it really challenging to navigate safely my 34’ 5th wheel. I would definitely not come back or recommend to others until owners address these significant deficiencies.

Twin Bears was a great find for my husband and me. We’d had a reservation at another Michigan city that didn’t work for us and were slightly panicked that we wouldn’t find a place at short notice. Jen, one of the owners, worked to accommodate us. Twin Bears is wooded, has a beautiful pool and mini- golf, plus many other activities for adults and children. Jen and Bianca are eager to assist campers and are available all day. Another camper had used the 30 amp plug assigned to us. Jen solved the problem quickly and in a tactful manner which kept both parties content. If you’re in the Indian River area, be sure to stop at Twin Bears Wooded Campground.

UPDATE : after hating site #1 for our 40 ft triple slide, I walked the grounds and saw that this is a lovely, older, well kept campground that would be wonderful for families with smaller campers. Lots of trees give nice shade and atmosphere. Pool looks nice, lots for kids to do. Just bring really long cords and long water hoses. That said: site #1 may well be the worst site I have ever stayed at in any campground. It has road on three sides between 3 and 10 ft from my awning. It is very unlevel, all dirt no grass, directly across from the pump out and a dilapidated dry rotted picnic table to round it out. While trees on site 1 force you to park so close to the road, you will need 40 ft of electric cord to plug in and have to put in the awning to have a fire. On site 2, you will need to run your cord under your camper and through your campsite to plug in. Also, site 2 is 21 ft across from tree to fire pit. If you have slides or awning you will not be using the fire pit. Very very dissatisfied with these sites. The staff are, however, very friendly. It looks like a number of campers stay here long term. NOT recommended for big rigs, but a cool, old style campground with good up north atmosphere.

Great campground for families! Lots of activities for the kids. We love the movie every night! It’s something our kids always remember! We’ve been going now for 4 years. Dorothy is a saint and the service staff is super friendly!
