Detailed Reviews
We booked a 2 night stay. Our campsite was really small. Liked that it was pull through but not sure why the high price. When I booked for our stay I liked that you could choose your site (I assumed it would be larger from what I saw on the map...my bad) but in the final booking confirmation you would have to pay an additional $10 to "guarantee" the site you chose...excuse me? The park was clean and tidy. The indoor pool was clean but the overwhelming smell of chlorine drove us out and we used the outdoor pool instead which was clean and we'll cared for. The camp store was way overpriced. I expect to pay more for convenience but $8.00 for a pocket sized Cutter bug spray was ridiculous. Not a bad place, just not sure we'll be repeat customers though. Sorry Yogi and Booboo we still love you!

FYI, Winter project, looking for vendors that can supply us with product timely and at a price we can pass along to our guest that is resonable.

First of all I wish I could give it a 4.5 stars but trip advisor won’t let me! Now as we pulled in it was very easy checkin all done in 5 min but I already paid for site and signed the rules and reg page ahead of time on via email. Decent sized campground but not huge can find sites easily and she drew the directions on map! We had a deluxe plus site very nice pull through with full hookups no cable tv which was fine with me! Did not use the comfort stations but the out door pool seemed nice I however used the indoor pool with hot tub twice very nice and clean seemed to be treated correctly. They had all kinds of activities and playground stuff for younger kids very nice also a food truck pulled in here on Friday night! Only negative I really had has nothing to much to do with the campground management themselves so it did not effect there score but I want everyone to be aware of it for themselves coming here, it’s the other campers! I wish I could give them a talking to like my Dad and mother would have to me and my siblings. They walk right in the road won’t get out of the way don’t watch there kids must think Yogi is going to! The speed limit is 5 there is times I was doing 2 mph and had to hit the skids because (little Johnny) ran out in front of me. People are like hippie nomad gypsies that think the nature and everyone else is supposed to take care of there kids! One guy actually was playing catch with his kid in the middle of the main road going in and out of the place and held his hand up for me to stop so they could throw another pass. I don’t mean to sound like a Grump but I didn’t realize the road was a place to play my parents told me that if I played in the road I would die and stay the heck out of it! That being said I realize people have to walk back and forth to the facilities on that main road but single file not 4 abreast and watch your children and teach them right from wrong you delinquent parents out there. Sorry for the rant but it has to be said!

We've stayed here several times now mainly for its convenience to River Place Shoppes and downtown Frankenmuth. We usually just walk where we want to go. It's about a 15 minute walk to the 2 main restaurants, but we usually stop at the River Place Shoppes first which takes a little longer. The park itself is clean, well-run and have great employees. The restrooms are regularly kept clean. It has both indoor and outdoor pools. Lots of activities for the younger children. It has lots of trees for shade.
While there are some nice-sized lots, many are extremely small. Our group took up 3 spots so we were able to work it so that we had a much larger common space. However, if we had been in our regular assigned direction our awning would have touched the slide-out on the next unit! Next time we come without a group we'll try one of the larger spots. The other negative is the cost. It is pricey to say the least. But, the location and cleanliness of the park make up for that.
P.S. Hint for management: put in Pickleboard courts.

We stayed 3 nights. Chose site 258 because it would accommodate a larger camper (ours is a 38.5' with a long bed double cad pick up truck. It all fit in the spot). The sites are pretty tight and being on a corner we were unable to extend our awning (it's on the back half of our camper) because it would hang out over the road and someone would have ripped it off as they drove by. The one across from us would have been a better choice (#128 for those who are interested). We were right by the bathroom and shower, pool and trash was on the other side of that. A little pricey as are most Commercial campgrounds but it was doable for 3 nights to be near town. We would probably stay again if we are back this way.

This place has nice pools (indoor and outdoor) , activities for kids, a great playground. You can walk to Bronners if you would like.
My only small negative is asking campers to wear a bracelet. I don't really see the need for this. This is not a resort in which you have buffets and a waterpark included. Most people did not wear them. We carried ours.

Yes, we are looking at options to better monitor the number of guest at the park. As I am sure you followed the rules so many bring in outside visitor to use our pool and crowd it for you our guest that do pay.

Campground has paved roads,gravel at sites with grass area. Sites are small, but campground not busy while we were there. Restrooms were immaculate. Close to attractions in Frankenmuth. Key card access at gate not easy to use with trailer behind on arrival.

We are traveling without kids so a lot of the activities aren't important to us. They have a lot of that stuff. Also, an indoor and outdoor pool.
$72 a night is expensive for what this place is. The park was 90% empty towards the end of August which was a surprise to us.
Paved interior roads easy to nav. Gravel pads, level. Sites very close together unless you get a "premium" site. Lots of trees and shade. Electric was high at 124-127V but we had no issues with power during our stay. Sewer and water fine. Wifi is useless - ATT hotspot fine. Cable good quality channels. Mowed grass between sites. Picnic table, no fire ring. Clean. Quiet.
Nothing horribly wrong with this park, we had a pleasant stay, but when comparing to others it is a 3. We camped at Frankenmuth Jellystone Park in a Motorhome.
Glockenspiel is worth going to. A performance is about 15 minutes.

The good: it's a family park located in Frankenmuth. There are nice pools, a snack bar, and a laundromat. The RV camping spaces are nice. For a new family wanting to avoid the costs of expensive hotels this is a good deal. The bad: my camper van was stuck next to a tree line so the ground was not flat. The electrical outlet was covered with creeper vines. The ugly: the toilets were terrible on the men's side. Seriously, I saw feces by the urinals. I am considering a nasty letter to the City Health Department about the unsanitary toilets.

I arrived on Friday to find there was no internet, allegedly due to the area that I was in and the amount of others on the system. When I asked for a fire pit I was told that they don't provide fire pits in that area. The campsite was so small that I had to position my RV just right in order to let my awning out. My electric and waste was in my neighbors area (near their picnic table) and on the other side the awning was protruding into the other neighbor's area. When I called the office about my concerns, the young lady who answered was very rude and uncaring. On Sunday I spoke to an older lady that was very accommodating and even offered us to move to another area (standard site). They did offer a lot of activities for children i.e. trailer rides, pools. jump pad, etc .

This was the ABSOLUTE WORST camping experience we have ever had!!! One of the employees grabbed my son’s wrist, then proceeded to tell them they had bad parenting. While we have random families who we don’t know from Adam come to our campsite to tell us that our kids were not the problem. We had a whole weekend planned and came from almost 3 hours away, but we decided to get out of here as soon as we could in the morning and never look back!!

No we do not have a gym. We are in the city of Frankenmuth with sidwalks for miles.
They have a limited number of fire pits available, I think they we located over by the rec hall.
We didn't want to take the chance of not getting one so we brought our own. You can get nice ones that have folding legs & a carrying case on Amazon. Something we just got & really like is the flame genie it takes hardwood pellets instead of firewood. Much nicer & cheaper to bring a clean bag of pellets instead of dirty firewood, plus you don't smell like campfire smoke for days afterward. Hope that helps, have a fun trip.
They have cable at certain spots. If you get on their website & look at the site map it states which spots have cable. As for the wifi I don't remember them having it, I would just call and verify.
