Black River Trails Campground

Had a great time at this camp ground! Slept right on the river, beautiful view in the morning and while hanging out by the fire. Water is abundant and bathrooms clean and easy access. We kayaked one day and it was amazing, wonderful challenge down the river, took our time and enjoyed it so it lasted about 3 hours and better yet, you end at the camp ground! The owners/hosts are incredible and so friendly and accommodating. I look forward to going back sooner then later!

This quiet outdoor oasis, offers tent camping, clean cabins, and trailer service. We stayed in the cabins, and they were immaculate with a queen and full mattresses with a bunk style bed We also went kayaking with them! They arranged a fantastic one and a half hour trip on the Black River where we saw Kingfishers, Blue Heron, turtles, and fish. It was the perfect distance for our 6 and 11 year old kids. If you're looking for a quiet peaceful retreat, just two hours from Chicago, and minutes from South Haven beach, this is it.

We loved this campground! The staff was very friendly and helpful and that made our experience that much more enjoyable!!! Very cute cabins with extremely comfortable beds and electricity makes the camping just a bit more comfortable especially when it happens to rain! Our cabin came with a beautiful view of the river which we went kayaking on and it was simply amazing! The river was so pretty and peaceful and offered lots of wild life to see! Like I said before we loved it here and will be back for sure! ☺️

Stayed our first time here with some family who stayed previously. The campground is laid out great with spacious tent sites. Water and electricity are also available. Camp store sells firewood at a reasonable price. Small bags of ice are $5 each which is high. Bathrooms are better than outhouses in that they have flush toilets. It would be nice if they had a way to indicate the toilet was occupied so people do not yank on the door while someone is sitting on the toilet only to discover it is locked and in use. As a result of the continuous yanking on the door, the hook and eye lock broke when the wood was too damaged to hold it any longer. I grabbed my multi tool and reinstalled the hook and eyelet where the wood was still intact to fix the problem. Our second night nearly all spaces were full. Quiet time is supposed to be 11 pm but some raucous people continued loud conversation until well past quiet time. I did not find it too distracting realizing it was a holiday weekend. The fire rings worked very well too. The most peculiar part of our stay has to be the showers. There are just 2 for the entire campgound and they require the use of purchased tokens. Each token provided 3 minutes of water. It sort of reminded me of a carwash and I was disappointed to see there was no foaming brush, final rinse and wax setting 🙂. Nonetheless I was able to complete my shower in 2 tokens and could have made it in 1 if I really tried. Overall we loved our stay and will return again.

Our family had a great experience at this campground! We camped with our travel trailer and and appreciated the tree cover. We also took advantage of the kayak rentals and really enjoyed having such a convenient activity available right there. The location was ideal, too, as it was close to grocery stores and South Haven. The owners were so great, too - very friendly and helpful!
