Markin Glen Campgrounds

If you have a reason to visit Kalamazoo or want a reasonably prices campsite fairly close to Lake Michigan, this is the place to be. Level concrete pads accommodating big rigs, FHU with 50 AMP, quiet and clean, and with a beautiful space for walking and biking (and swimming). It’s all that. Reservations were easy to make but I did make them several months in advance as it was Labor Day weekend. They do impose a strict 3 PM check-in so do not expect to get to your site before that.

Very clean, well-kept, campground. My friend called it "city camping" as it has concrete pads on every lot and few trees. Full hook up at their price is awesome. The pull thru lots were perfect. Lots of kids with bikes and hover boards. Nice beach area to swim and it's actually clean and sandy, although the "lake" looks man-made and eventually turns into more of a pond in the deep water. Kalamazoo River Valley trail (paved bike path) is right there to ride for miles, which we did. Would have given 5 stars if it had more shade trees, more activities and maybe a pool or other water feature. It was a very hot weekend and quite a walk to the beach area.

Very nice county campground. Well maintained and quiet during our weekend visit in May. About 2/3 of campers were older with not kids. Rest were young couples and families. Sites are concrete pads and are long. There are two large ponds. One has a nice swimming beach. The other offers fishing. There is a paved path that goes around the two ponds. I don't consider it a week long campground but is a great place to stay while visiting family or as a stop off as part of a larger trip.

Very nice campground with concret pads and all are fhu. Small lake to swim and fish but no kayaking or canoeing allowed. Small park for the kids but no other amenities. Lots of small trees for shade. We stayed on lot 10

Great campground. Clean and friendly staff. We had full hookup and a nice concrete pad. The lake, beach and bike/walking paths are amazing. We will go back again.
