Newaygo State Park

Late season, leaves down down, yellow, cold, not many people...love it. Campsite 20 yards from the Dragon. Beautiful, perfect, I'll be back many more times. Great hike and ride to the dam and back. Newaygo is a nice little town, Diner Between the Dams...I'd go back every week if I could.

Great staging campground for doing the awesome 38 mile Dragon Trill single track bike path around Hardy Pond in one day. The campground has pit toilets but no showers. Fresh water is available at the sanitation station which is close to the Oak section. The sites have a lot of privacy, fire rings, but no electricity. Verizon LTE worded for data but slowish. Starlink could work at some sites but lots of trees too. Lots of noise from heavy boat traffic on pond and the water at boat ramp looks kind of toxic.

Views r magnificent through the trees, a beautiful body of water with foliage just as pretty. The trails are welcoming and the campground looked promising. Only reason for 4 stars is we were confused if it closed at 9 or 10 because of conflicting signs, and the people docking and unloading boats were loud and screaming. As long as they enforce the quiet rule after 10, shouldn't be an issue.

Beware when you're camping off season. I booked my site online the night before. However this site was occupied when I arrived. I let them know this is the site I had booked for two nights. They seemed disinterested in moving and there were no rangers on duty I had to choose another site not the end of the world. But definitely something to be aware of when camping during the off season. The park had some great sites and the best pit toilets, they were so clean. The hand pump for the water was a plus and worked with ease. This is a great park for a quick trip.

Loved everything about this park! Has everything from the super epic Dragon Trail to camping , disc golf , the beautiful lake. The beauty of the landscape and trees are absolutely amazing. 1000% recommend!
