Dunes Harbor Family Camp is a Christian family campground located by Silver Lake and the Sand Dunes. We offer full hook-up sites as well as water and electric camping sites. Dunes Harbor is on the shores of Lake Holiday and has 50 waterfront sites, pull-thru sites, and group sites for families and churches to camp together.
Haven't been camping in 40 years! Took our three grandsons, 5-year-old twins, and one 4-year-old. They were nonstop with all the amenities that they offered, the pool was excellent they had a ball with all the things to do at the pool not just your everyday Hotel type pool by any stretch. Playgrounds, and grounds in general were maintained very very well. Bathrooms, showers, and any other facilities were spotless, and well stocked. We were just in a tent, but our site was nice grass with power and a fire pit, but the best of all it was very very peaceful, gated and closed entrance in the evenings, and staff was exceptional! More of a resort feel than a campground with tons of activities, and they even text you to tell you what is going on for their provided activities during the day or evening. Would definitely recommend a stay at this park, you would not regret it. Also, I didn't of course use them being in a tent, but all the full service sites for campers and motorhomes were very very well maintained with pristine lawns nice cement pads, and spaced apart far enough to work I would imagine they felt like they had their own little yards. It was quite impressive even though I didn't use that part it was again, quite impressive.

Campground is the best around for families. They have almost everything on site that you would need so you never have to leave. . Can’t beat the twice daily trash pickup and they keep everything very clean. Timely updates via text if there are any issues with pool or scheduled event changes.

Dunes Harbor is our happy place! They opened Memorial Day weekend 2016, and we discovered it and visited that June. We have visited every summer since then, and sometimes twice in a summer! After 7 years, the campground is just as beautiful and clean as it was that first month. Bathrooms are always clean and well-stocked, the campgrounds themselves are free of garbage, and all of the other facilities (pool, store, playground, ice cream parlor) are continuously being tended to by the staff. In our 10 visits to this campground, we have always been greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff members who are always willing to go above and beyond to meet our needs- all the way back to Vincent back in 2016! Dunes Harbor is the safest campground my family has ever visited. I have never thought twice about allowing my children to walk up the playground or the gaga ball pit without adult supervision. My family looks forward to our Silver Lake camping trip every year. We just got home a few days ago from this year's trip, and we're already getting excited for next year! Thank you, Dunes Harbor, for providing such a memorable experience for my family!

The facility was clean and very well maintained. The customer service was excellent! The heated pool was very clean. The Picnic Pavillion was large enough to easily accommodate our sizable group. The power outlets allowed us to keep our potluck slow cooker food warm. We will definitely camp here again and recommend it to our friends!

Our only regret is that we didn’t go sooner! Dunes Harbor is a gorgeous campground with large lots, well-kept amenities, and an amazingly friendly staff, all in a prime location not far from Silver Lake. We spent a lovely, quiet fall weekend away there in our little RV, and we can’t wait to go back! It’s a place not to be missed, so if you are at all into camping then we suggest you put it on your list of favorites today!

Beautiful campground and AMAZINGLY clean! Everyday we saw staff picking up trash, checking fire pits, and dusting off lights and buildings for bugs/cobwebs. The staff is SO friendly, everyone says hello as they walk by. Great location, close to dunes , silver lake and lake MI. The pool is so much fun (although very crowded, my kids didn’t mind, but you don’t see many adults IN the pool.

We love Dunes Harbor; just returned from our 2nd. trip. Impressed with the well grounds and modern restrooms, the safe environment, helpful staff, and many activity offerings for our 4 grandsons (ages 6-12). In addition to those in the photos, there were crafts, movie nights, ultimate frisbee, nice play area, and more. Parents (& grandparents) can relax while their kids go from place to place with siblings or friends.

We stayed here Friday, July 2 through Monday, July 5. We could not have picked a better location. We were close to town and a lot of activities there and several really great restaurants. But being at the campground was so relaxing. Everything is so clean and well-kept. We were on the water with our own little beach which was so fun to watch the fireworks that were going on across the lake. There are cement pads for your camper and the campsites are level so we didn’t even have to level are 28 foot class C camper. The kids loved the pool with the slide and water fountains, riding bikes, climbing wall and riding horses. Malachi was so good with our youngsters on the horses. The staff are the friendliest of any campground that we have been to in the last four years. Everyone is so accommodating and helpful. The sites are clean and well mowed. You set your trash out at your campsite and it’s picked up a couple of times a day which was really nice. You don’t see trash laying around anywhere. The location is so close to the beaches, and the Sandune’s,. We were able to ride our bikes and my husband was able to run every day through the neighborhoods around the lake. We highly recommend dunes Harbor Family Campground and we hope to be back again this summer.

We stayed here in our 40 ft Motorhome with our family if four. This is definitely tops of the lists of campgrounds we have stayed at. Right from the beginning staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice gravel roads were easy to navigate in our rig. Over half of the spots are waterfront and totally worth it! Level gravel pad with a nice paved patio. Sites are very roomy and you are not all cramped like so many campgrounds. We were able to put our kayaks into the lake right behind our site. The campstore and central area were sparkling clean and roomy as well with Adirondack chairs and benches. Cute little ice cream shop. Pool was clean as well. On the smaller side for my teenagers but awesome for those with younger kids. Staff was constantly making the rounds both in golf carts and on foot picking up our garbage and asking if we needed anything. It was also relatively quiet with no rowdy groups, which we appreciate. We didnt use the bath houses, but based on the rest of the campground I wouldn't doubt that they were clean as well. Very short drive down to the dunes and the lake. We arent bikers, but you could bike it as well. Overall great experience. We will be back!

Modern, clean and safe campground. Staff is friendly and professional. Fantastic location. Lots are large and scenic. Each lot has a cement pad with a gravel driveway, picnic table and fire ring. Fire rings are well designed with air holes and can flip up for easy cleaning. The hookups are well placed and easily accessible. Their camp store is well stocked and has reasonable prices. They also have an ice cream parlor and great kids pool and playground. Plus you get a fabulous location near sand dunes, lakes, bike path, hiking, horseback riding, golf, and campground activities. You couldn't ask for a nicer campground.

It is safe to swim in Lake Holiday, however, we don't recommend swimming in it. Dunes Harbor doesn't have a designated beach area or lifeguard watching the water. The shoreline around Dunes Harbor also has a lot of weeds and plant growth.
It is a great lake to go kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and paddleboarding in though. Dunes Harbor also has a pool that is great for swimming.
Great question. Dunes Harbor does have limited WiFi in the camp store and ice cream shop but it is not available campground wide. Dunes Harbor does not have any cable or cable hook ups.
Thank you for your question. All of our tent sites are grassy water/electric sites that do have trees on or near them. Certain times of the day will be more/less sunny than others depending on the shadows from the trees. If you are concerned about having shade, please indicate that when you are registering so that we can do our best to accommodate those needs.
There are more places to choose from in the Mears area.
