Discover a campers’ paradise near the shores of Lake Michigan Grand Haven Resort
the beautifully wooded surroundings. “There’s lots of character and history to the park,” says Dee Dee Bernhardt of member services. “There’s an amaz- ing miniature golf course and go carts. There are 16 rental accommodations, plus two very large pools and play- grounds. The resort is definitely family oriented. Tap into your inner race car driver with the go-cart track. For those who just want to relax, they are more than welcome to come sunbathe along- side our pool.” And its location is certainly a plus. On the beaches of Lake Michigan, along the shores of Spring Lake, and onto the adventures found in the bayous and coves of the Grand River, you’ll find picturesque settings for swimming, sunbathing, sunset strolls, or a leisurely picnic. Poet Carl Sandburg called this breathtaking coastal system a “signa- ture of time,” ranking it among the greatest natural wonders in the United
States. In August 2013, CNN Travel named Grand Haven as its No. 14 “Must See U.S. Beach” alongside Siesta Key in Florida, South Padre Island in Texas, and Papakolea Beach in Hawaii. In addition to great shopping and delightful dining, the city of Grand Haven is also home to the world’s larg- est musical fountain of its kind. Visit the fountain and stay for the synchro- nized water and light show accompa- nied with music of all varieties, which plays daily at sunset from Memorial Day through Labor Day; Fridays and Saturdays only in May and September.
