Indian Valley Campground And Canoe Livery

Best campground in the Middleville area. So much to do here. Bathrooms are clean. the campground staff is friendly, and so many people to talk to. Also they have fun events that happen on Saturdays. Would highly recommend. It is also close to Caledonia making it easy to get supplies.

We are pretty avid campers, so we’ve been to a lot of campgrounds around Michigan. Compared to others around the state, this was pretty lackluster. Their kayak rentals are fantastic though!! The gentleman who run that portion are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Camping portion, not so much. The main office lady really hates her job and it shows. Sort of kills the vibe for all the new campers coming in. It was different than any campground we’ve been to. They do have a playground but it’s quite outdated. Just teens hanging out mostly. “Beach” is about a 20x5 foot section of sand at the pond. Pool and shower options, but they are moldy and kind of gross. They have paved portions in each lot, which we found really nice. Fire pits are tiny, so plan on cutting your wood shorter than normal. All around, it wasn’t a nightmare but just disappointing. This might be a good option for an older couple who doesn’t want to use any amenities, it was nice and quiet. But I wouldn’t recommend if you have children or like to explore around.

We stayed 2 nights in a cabin here. The office staff was fantastic. Cabin was clean. We took a kayak trip while we were there as well. It was great. We used the indoor pool once. Water was clean. We had a great time overall and are looking forward to coming back soon!

Only used the kayak exit point. The campground seemed to go along forever along the river, with some beautiful (likely many seasonal) sites. Fair price to use their site to exit the river ($7/canoe, $3.50/ kayak). Porta potty when you get out was super grody though. Would highly recommend the trip from Middleville launch to their campsite along the Thornapple River. We took our time, made a swim stop or two, and it probably took us about 3 hours.

Dirty and Bill has an attitude problem. Not very kid friendly, except on weekends. Cool events and karaoke but if you stay longer than a week or two people judge and they want you gone. Weird place. The whole Campground also smells like urine. 😬😬😬
