Description:
|
New (2yr old) gated rv resort located near the Lake Michigan lakefront town of South Haven with easy access from I-196. It is currently in phase 1 of construction with rv & park model sites available.
The grounds are immaculately groomed & landscaped. Sites have large concrete parking pads, fhu's with softly lighted power boxes, fire rings & picnic tables. Sites are available for permanent purchase or for rent on a daily, weekly, monthly or seasonal basis. A few sold sites have already been improved with paver patios & fire pits, upgraded landscaping/lighting, & small storage sheds. Sites located *on lake are for Class A's only. Surprisingly, although most sites had very level pads, several sites had significant slopes where I could see rv's needed blocking to reach level. Not something you would expect for a resort-type community or for the prices you pay to buy or rent here.
There is an absolutely fabulous nautical-themed clubhouse with a dining room, kitchen, fitness room, game room, pool table, computer room, restrooms, enormous gathering room filled with comfy furniture, a large screen plasma tv located above a stone fireplace, cable & surround sound & a small library of books for lending. The heated pool/hot tub and showerhouse/laundry is adjacent to the clubhouse. Unfortunatly, we were there in October, long after the pool/hot tub closed. During the summer, the resort has planned activities at the clubhouse.
Kayaks & paddle boats are for rent for tooling around the small lake & catch & release fishing is allowed. There's a small beach with a volleyball net on the side. A walking trail goes around the perimeter of the complex.
Free Wi-Fi was available with excellent reception as transmitter towers were scattered generously throughout the resort. Although there is a cable for cable tv at each site, it is for those that purchase sites. Over-the-air tv was easy for us to get with our antenna/Wingman & DTV converter. Since the resort is new, satellite tv would be great as the newly planted trees wouldn't interfere with reception.
This place has great potential as an rv resort with its close proximity to South Haven, friendly staff & resort ammenities. I would highly recommend it either to purchase or rent a site.

Price paid reflects a special Mon-Wed Oct promotion. We were at an *on lake site that normally rents for $50 during the peak summer season/$45 during spring (pre-Memorial Day)/fall (post Labor-Day) seasons.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

We stayed here 2 years in a row with our 2008 Winnebago View. The third year we tried to reserve for the August Blueberry festival we were told we could not stay there because our unit was not long enough. New rules state you must be 28 ft or longer (not including trail tongue) and 10 years or newer or like new condition. I asked them how you could prove "like new" if you reserved over the phone and they said they required photos sent. Of all the nerve. Well good luck to them. We will stay else where with our new 29 foot camper even though we "quailfy" now. They have also lost the business of our friends. I don't think they wan't "campers" they want to sell their lots and have all seasonals.
