Big Bend Park Campground

We rented site 17 and 18 for 3 nights. Our camper could not be backed in correctly so we had to park parallel to the road. People in site 130 did not like the idea of us parking like that thinking that we can do whatever we want because we're not seasonal. The whole 3 days consisted of harassment and intimidation by site 130 and a dozen other people. I had an argument with the lady in site 130 about her sticking her nose in our business about how our camper was put in when we already had permission from security to put it that way there is no other way to park it. It was 3 days of intimidating behavior harassment and ignorance towards my husband and i. They have let the seasonals take over the campground and if things don't change that campground will go under because people should not have to put up with any garbage like we did.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this was a nice park after our GPS taking us down a dirt road (Beech). After we checked in the host told us the main entrance is to turn off Hwy 20 on Elm then to 16th then Beech.

There are many seasonal people set up here with decks and you can tell they summer here. We had a nice pull through corner site with a view of the water through the trees. There are 3 loops for the Rv's. We were in the first loop but walked to the others. The beach/boat ramp area was about a mile and a half down the road in the park and the dump station was there. The other loop had a nice view from the point with Adirondack chairs. There are boat docks that had many pontoon boats and also fishing boats.

We found a nice laundry in White Cloud. It was older but clean. We also enjoyed the Hilltop Bulk Food store. It was also close enough to go to Grand Rapids for a day trip.
