Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho

This place is our favorite campground. Family oriented everyone is welcomed. Lots of activities for the kids. Holidays they make so much fun. The only thing they ask is that you follow the rules. They are simple rules keep an eye on your kids, follow the dog rules, drive 5mph in the campground etc. respect them and their property so nothing too crazy. This is our little slice of heaven!

My family loved our stay. Camp neighbors were all courteous and respectful of each other and the staff was super friendly.Our kids enjoyed the swim area and the ability to sign out basketballs and ping pong paddles for uses in the games are. Both of my boys caught a pile of Bluegill and I grabbed a few nice bass while fishing the lake. The shower/restroom amenities were always clean and there was rarely any kind of wait.

We love camping at Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho! Their weekend activities are so fun. The campsites are clean and people are friendly. We love the campsite and swimming too.

Place sounds good but isn't as good as it sounds. First issue was the fact I can't bring wood, have to buy from the them. All fine should they have kindling to start the fire aswell which they don't. Second issue would be the portable outhouses in the back corner. I came on a Friday which the weekend is most active time for campgrounds so when I walk into the thing on Friday just after check in time I would think it should clean but it was pretty much full already and come Saturday morning it's still full. They need to have those things pumped out more often or place more of them around to equal out to the number of people in the park. Last issue is lack of following the law. Group came in Friday night after final check in time mind you but put up 4 tents on one site which the state law says no more than 2. The people that set up tents are not the issue as they were quite respectful it's the fact they put policies in place and then ignore them. I won't return to this place but I can't say they are horrible as they are not as bad as they could be

We visited Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho Campground from August 4th to 6th. There was a lot of positives with our stay and a few negatives that made it a little tricky to enjoy. The Positives: The park is advertised as a family run campground. The owners and staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The park includes a large park, A beach with a gradual incline, and a sandy bottom A volleyball net, horseshoes and other game area The tent campsites include a fire pit and a picnic table some even included water and electric. The park has its own lake and some campsites are able to fish right from their site around the lake which was awesome for some relaxing times. The owners also run activities for the families every saturday. When we were there they had tile painting in the morning and a huge beach party in the evening for families with a foam party. They gave children, rubber duckies, beach balls and flower lei's. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome. The negatives: Our campsite, while we made it work, when we got there we were not sure how to make feasible. Our campsite was 3/4 hill and all dirt/sand. No grass at all. With a little maneuvering we used 1/4 of our site and had our tent directly next to our car and the picnic table directly next to that as well. Leaving very little room to move or spread out. However, it was not too bad. The dirt was a little much and we had hoped to have some grass. This park does have some campsite with a lovely grass gradual slope. We just were not on one of those sites. We will choose better next time when booking. When booking we had to fill out how many people would be there and had to agree to strict rules. We purchased our wood ahead of time and on our receipt it stated our wood would be waiting for us at our campsite. This did not happen. When we arrived for check in we were told to go collect our wood from a pile. We put it in our car and immediately at least 50 bugs and ants were knocked out of the piles into our car....Not a pleasant start. thank goodness we were able to brush them out with the handheld brush we brought. The second negative is the washroom facilities. They have one brick and mortar facility so far away from the tent sites that it was not useable with a 4 year old at 4 in the morning. They also have a trailer restroom that was also too far away from the tent sites late in the evening. The campground does have port a johns around the park, which we thought was a plus until we tried to use them. They were full the entire time we were there and so dirty. The owners have replied that they check them several times a day, however they were never clean enough for a woman or child to actually use. The other bathrooms were spotless and I feel that the owners are doing there best to maintain and upgrade the park. We did experience some unpleasantness with neighbors checking in well after the 9pm check in time. A group with 4 tents when it specifically says 2 tents per site, were setting up until well after midnight. They were respectful but it was just unpleasant, we reported to the owner the over crowding but at that point we were a little tired and really not happy about the restroom situation. We left the campground for the day to enjoy Michigan Adventures Amusement park, that was not on our original agenda. The group did move some of their tents to a nearby site in the evening right before bed but at that point it was saturday evening and we were leaving sunday morning, so really no point. However, the fact that the owners, responded to our concern is a real plus and made us feel heard. Overall I gave the campground an updated 3 stars as I feel it is overcrowded with no nature and a very loud highway right behind the tent sites and I feel if they had one more trailer rest room with showers near the back row of campsites it would greatly improve the quality. The owners and staff are great, they are working really hard to make sure all of their campers are having a great time and upgrading as they can.
