Camped here to ride the dragon MTB trail. The campground has an awesome location right off the trial. There are many docks available and a nice beach for water activities. I recommend based on the location alone. My downgrade of the rating is due to 2 main issues. The campgrounds are very small. You are lucky to fit 2 cars on some of the sites so you need to choose wisely. Next issue is that there are super power led lights throughout the camp that come on at night. They are so bright I thought Beetleguse went supernova whan I was camping seriously the lights were bright enough that it will keep you awake when tent camping. If you have an RV it will not be so noticeable.
Our first time in this park. We've stayed in private parks, state parks and county parks and this is one of the best we've been to. The staff goes above and beyond, very friendly and helpful. This was planned but because of events we didn't organize as well as normal so we left a few things behind. The camp store and the host took care of us. Beautiful location on the water and lots of things for our grandkids to do. We will be coming back next summer.
Would have given 1 star, but gave it 2 since it is next to the Dragon and has warm showers. This is the perfect campground if you like small sites, lots of dogs barking all night, the constant smell of pot, loud trucks, or loud music late into the night. Clearly there is zero enforcement of quiet hours or just simple neighborly courtesy. Pay the extra money and pick another campground!
Found this place called OXBOW CAMPGROUND in COLUMBIAVILLE on @googlemaps looking for a weekend getaway that was still close to home and knew this was the place to be so I pulled up expeditiously! You hike 1.5 miles into this low key bugout spot that some of the people in town don’t even know about. The scenery is amazing and the ZEN I felt standing along the riverbank just listening to the water flow is something I won’t forget. The only reason I bring my firearm is for animals that are larger than I and possible crazy folks that I may encounter on my path to seek enlightenment. Plus… THIS IS PURE MICHIGAN it’s LEGAL. So this is how it goes… you park in a turnaround spot get out and mount up to go directly into the forest. It’s a trek thru the woods but leisurely and depending on your conditioning it’ll take you 1-2 trips based on what you need to bring to set up camp. It’s been raining for days all over the state so I brung firewood which forced me to make the extra trip after setting up base camp. If you are looking to obtain a weekend of PEACE where most certainly nobody will be this is the spot for YOU and we can make that happen on “ADVENTURES with HAYES!”
What a Great place to Party! If you're looking for a quiet place to hang out with your family... Forget it! Loud boats, loud music, loud hillbilly trailer trash park campers getting Jiggy in the showers. Oh and the sweet smell of the devil's lettuce flowing through the campground 24/7. Pet friendly? Heck yeah, musta been a least 65 barking dogs too! Curfew? What curfew Party like it's 1999 ALL NIGHT!!!Can't wait to Not go back!
Over all a great place to camp, close to home. Clean bathrooms, nice beach area. Lots of activities, planned and unplanned, such as movie night, games, hiking, biking kayaking and relaxing. Unfortunately the relaxing times where interrupted buy the staff and seasonal people mowing. Friday evening, Sunday morning during our most recent stay. It was very bothersome, very loud and intrusive. It was right on top of our camp sight. Restrooms: Modern and Clean
August 5th. Park is poorly managed and customer service is poor/rude at this park. Pay for a seasonal/dock, plus rented a dock for relatives boat, and the campground parks a food truck at the entrance to get to the dock and partially blocking the boat launch. Not happy with Big Prairie Parks/Oxbow. Other bad experiences before this in the current year and this is the last straw. Pulling everything out in the next week and ending our seasonal camping at these parks. I don’t recommend this campground.
Big, beautiful park, but camp sites are pretty tiny. It was tough to pull in, even with a pull-through site because it was so cramped. They also need to do better at enforcing the dog barking rules!
Oxbow park has been a pleasant place to camp. There's a lot of places to walk the dog. Each site has a picnic table and burning pit. There's bathrooms and showers on site. The end of the year party is quite a party. Very laid back place.
It's a nice campground It's a little tight so if you got a 30 footer you might have a problem backing it in. Also there seems to be a lot of seasonal sites here. Great campground if you like boating the launch is nice, big and clean.
