If you are a motor-home enthusiast, this is the place for you as the park has camping right on the beachfront. The park itself is large and has access to large expanses of beautiful beachfront, with a bathhouse and food truck vendors onsight.

Easy walk out the pier, can't really tour/get into the lighthouse itself. Great views back at the beach and lake. A must-do while in Grand Haven. Be careful if you try and scramble up the large boulders from the beach to the pier - they are slick!

Wonderful little park to walk. There is some art work on display which is fun to look at. One is a poem on oars of a rescue boat saving a person whose hand is all you can see. It is a touching life sized reminder and celebration of those who work to save us. Its a great place to walk.

The Mohawk at the Allendale KOA, told us Patricia's Chocolates is a must go during our visit. We went and were not disappointed. I left with a great friendly experience, a six pack of chocolate squares that melt in my mouth, there are dreamy. Some chocolate popcorn, amazing, and some 72% cocoa dots that literals melt in our mouth,. We are visiting for another week and will come back before we leave for home. She is a real chocolatier and her chocolates are the best I've had, hands down.

We were very pleased to find this park. During the season there is a lot to see as well. This Locomotive is the model for the train in The movie Polar Express. Make this a stop for kids of all ages to experience.
