We have camped here many times. Always enjoy our visit. The only minus would be that the mowing crew needs to turn the mowers away from throwing rocks etc near our campers and vehicles.

A strategic location of natural beauty near the water with lots of friendly fellow campers. The amenities and within close proximity to your campsite. There's a lot to do for a day trip there too. A day strolling Grand Rivers and having a meal at the famous Patti's, shopping the little boutiques or just a pizza at Cabin Pizza. Nature hiking and the LBL Trace show off a beautiful array forest and wildlife in their natural habitat. You can even drive to the elk and bison range to witness these magnificent creatures. We love choosing Canal for many, many reasons! We love it and so will you!

Great campground with lots of wide, wooded campsites and a friendly, helpful staff. Clearly popular with the locals since it was packed mid-week. Even though it was fairly full, it didnt seem cramped or crowded. The facilities were clean and functional, with lots of water activities for the whole family. We would highly recommend Canal Campground.

Canal is a great campground, with friendly hosts, good facilities and sites that are clean. We camp at Canal often, have for more than 20 years, and like the improvements being made.
I always like going to the Canal. Its peaceful and the grounds are well maintained. Staff couldn't be nicer. Love seeing all the deer too.

The Canal Campground is in a perfect spot. Close to Patti’s, both dams and great places to fish 🎣
