Our Guests Love Waldenwoods

Waldenwoods is a beautiful clean family fun place.

You can relax or get plenty of exercise camping or canoeing or paddle boating or swimming or hit the courts. You can stay at your own camper or rent a hotel room. The staff and members are always nice. The restaurant is very nice too.

This private resort is the perfect getaway in Michigan

Located in Howell, MI…and has so many fun activities on Lake Walden! Outdoor swimming pool, indoor sauna and jacuzzi, sandy beach, boating, kayaking, paddle boards, a game room/activity center…the list goes on and on! Gorgeous views! Got home last night and I was bummed to leave!

,

The grounds are absolutely beautiful!

Everything is so well kept. The new renovations to the bath house and pool bathrooms are absolutely gorgeous. This place is not what you would expect when you think ‘campground’. The staff is all amazing, from the store workers, to the office, to the rangers. Would rate at six stars if I could!

Oh my goodness!

This beautiful place is amazing, tile floor, wooden walls, and you can go in the bathroom barefoot unafraid! The site is great for camping, the pool is heated and there’s a spa to relax in! The rangers all seem to be courteous and helpful. There’s even a beach where you can rent boats and ride the lake with a beautiful view of the lodges that you can rent out.

Family friendly campground at a beautiful lake.

Sites are level and spacious, mostly on grass. There a small beach at a clean lake. Activities include Wibits (the bouncy play structures on water), a well designed playground, fishing, kayaking and a well-stocked indoor activity center.
