Camp Dearborn

I must say how much my family and I have enjoyed staying here. It was so relaxing! I've camped many times before and they have the largest sites by far. The lake is clean and sandy. They have so many different play grounds for the kids. Im also so happy the women who made our reservations asked me about my family and told me she would put us near the playground for our little ones. They have a wash station for dishes and the bathroom s were clean. There was little to no traffic on our road and we felt safe letting our kids run around. The dumpsters are large and very conveniently located. Fishing is allowed and I was able to see a young boy catch a huge fish while my boys were swimming. The only complaint I would have is they only have one washer and dryer site which was located a good distance from our site but they worked well and we're done fast. We will be back for another stay for sure!

Visiting friends staying in RV section. Miss the tent days where we stayed every summer growing up. Enjoyed canteen for snacks & ice cream

Really struggling to keep coming back, been here seven years in a row and always rent multiple cabins for a week once or twice a summer. The private lake is nice, the park areas are good, the canteen the kids love. The actives are great for younger kids. I like the cabin areas. Fishing is great, multiple spots to fish. BUT the pool is closed more often than it's open the last couple years. The price seems a bit high for a cabin to be having one of the top amenities constantly closed. The pool is huge, clean and really the center of the camp. Other than that the shower stalls need a deeeeeep cleaning and the basketball courts need attention. Please get the pool open and fix the the basketball courts.

Attached to anyone coming for 75yr anniversary. If you did not buy your tickets prior to today on line it is $45. to enter.Cannot believe how this major event is being arranged. When you enter you cannot park near beach area. You will have to check in" which is to the left of the canteen. So you drive 1000' to be directed to park on the grass across the street from the canteen. You will have to walk across the street

I have put in an application the last 2 years this will be the third year just to get a permanent spot. Every year for the last 2 years they've lost my application. Now I have to put in a application for the third year in a row. Either the office is unorganized or they don't know how to keep track of their applications. My family enjoys camping out here that's why I'm looking for a permanent stay. Office lacks organization, nobody ever knows what's going on what happened to your application. Where is good management ?

Camp Dearborn is not the place that it once was. There aren't too many employees so there aren't many amenities that are open. I would have liked to have gone canoeing but that is closed. There are no mattresses on the beds so bring one. The things that they have are sand filled mats. The fishing was fun but I can do that anywhere.Reply to your response: I know that the staffing issues are not your fault. I appreciate the response.

We were disappointed. 1.) The bathroom has this horrendous oder. Smelt like rotten eggs and period blood. As I was brushing my teeth and went to wash my mouth the water tasted how the bathroom smelt (Had to rinse with bottled water.) This shows they don’t really clean the cabins. 2.) Bugs everywhere. Bugs were even in the mats and as we unfolded the mats they ran out in a panic. 3.) You’re sleeping on mats. The mats don’t even look sanitized they just throw them in the picnic table and drive away.

It seems like they may be going out of business or can't hire any help to run things. A lot of things are not open like the pool and canteen etc.. and there are blocked roads and weeds growing up through common areas, not as many outhouses throughout the rustic cabin side so you either climb a steep hill in the dark or you drive all the way up to the main entrance in the night. Not handicap friendly at all you cannot park near the cabins. You're either climbing a step hill or going down one to get back and forth to your vehicle. The bathrooms) shower area were clean and smelled of bleach so that was a plus and it was very peaceful even though they said they were at 75% capacity.
