White Lake Campground

I was hesitant about getting a camper and boat slip here based on some people's reviews. Now that I've been here for a few months I feel as if I can finally write a review. Most of the low ratings I don't really believe any merit to them. This isn't a public campground, it's a seasonal deal. Yes there are older campers here but they've probably been here before I was born. It is common with a seasonal site that they want you to have a newer camper. So don't be surprised if your 20 year old camper that looks new is rejected from a seasonal campground. The boat slips on white lake has a waiting list higher than I can count. In the campground the rest of the slips are on the canal. Circling back to how seasonal slips don't normally allow old boats/campers. An individual left a poor rating after his boat sank. Idk the story behind that but when he went out and bought a brand new pontoon. His negative review was mentioning about how large it was and blah blah blah. Here's some things things to know about the canal. It's not very wide. So if he got a really long pontoon he's going to be sticking way out into the canal. Definitely not cool/considerate to others. There are parallel parking docks for longer boats so he probably had to move to one of those and idk if there's a price difference but from his awful review from lack of understanding, it sounds like there is a price difference. When I was purchasing my slips I don't remember the manager saying there was. The canal is easy enough to get out to the lake if you're an experienced boater. Another thing to note about this individuals boat experience and it being to big. The second bridge you have to go under, most large pontoons can't go under it. I have a 20' sea ray and I have to trim all the way up in the canal, and the second bridge I actually have to go into trailer up a bit for a quick second. The property manager is Judy and she is very kind and great to chat with. She took me on a tour in her golf cart and explained everything to me. Even told me about the campers on the sites. The bathrooms definitely give you an old up north feeling. There's a key deposit fee for using the bathrooms with the showers. There is a rustic outdoor bathroom that's available as well and I don't think that required a key deposit fee. There's power and water on the sites. I've hooked up a small water filtration system and the water seems good enough to use. Without testing it I haven't drank it. I used it once for making coffee and brush my teeth with it. It tasted fine, but without testing take this info very lightly. Showering is good to go as well. There are full hookup sites on the other side but you pay for the electric bill. A dump site for black and grey is on grounds. Dumpster is on grounds for trash. Overall I'm very happy with the campsite and boat slip. They allowed me to add bumpers and rails to my dock. You do have to maintain your grass. That's very typical with campsite slips. There was no fire pit on my site but I was able to add a nice pit. Everyone I've met at the campground so far have been awesome. This is a campground that kinda flys by the rules of just don't be a jerk or a Karen (sorry Karens). If it's a holiday weekend people will be outside talking and playing music till pretty late. It's nothing crazy to where you can't go to sleep with a fan on in the camper. It's generally very quiet here. Another reason of why it's quite here is dogs are not allowed. We all love the fur children but there's always that one dog that ruins it for everyone. So I get that rule. This is honestly a hidden gem. I'm surprised there's not a waiting list to get in here. How many places can you think of in Oakland county where you can camp and boat all in one spot?

My grandmother and grandfather had a small camper there for 20 years back 45 years ago the park is as it has been frozen in time its the best place on earth. You will love this place. It's for rvs and tents the sights have a beautiful sight of the water. Close to subs stores close .

I’ve had a spot here for 2 years , dock for my boat . First year was great . 2nd year my boat sank and I was not notified until 72 hours later . The maintenance man came over and told me to get it off the dock or he would cut the rope to my boat . I proceeded to buy a new boat (pontoon) as a replacement boat and then recover a phone call that I could not have it because it was bigger . We got into a dispute over the phone and the lady said she would just give me a different dock . I requested a new receipt . CHEAP SPEAKS FOR ITSELF . Do not recommend

The place looks OK in pictures, so we called them to book the next month. The lady was very rude and disrespectful.. all due to the age of my rv. I am in a very well kept 1997 that looks new. I would not give her any of my money..... it's not new either for her as she said.

My husband and I rented a dock spot there over the summer for our boat. It was convenient and a clean, well-kept campground.
