A nice campground. They did everything right. Staff were really nice and always there for anything. Just not one of my favorites campgrounds.

We had a fantastic 4 night stay. Joyce and John were lovely, we took advantage of the private beach and kayaked. The lake and creek to lake Michigan was so fun to kayak through. The campground was spotless, the bathrooms were the cleanest I've seen in a while at a campground and we appreciated the quality toilet paper! Everything quieted down by 11/11:30 and we appreciated that! The Saturday coffee was also a welcomed delight! We will 100 percent be back!

It sounds like you were able to enjoy the best parts of our campground. One of the reasons we offer kayak and canoe rentals is so everyone can experience the paddle through Bass Lake to the Outlet Beach. Cleanliness is important to us and we are happy to hear we met the mark!! I personally enjoy chatting with our campers at Saturday morning coffee. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

We love being 1/2 mile from Lake Michigan and having our own beach on Bass Lake. Pentwater is a great place to live and visit as well. I'm happy to hear our staff took good care of you! We hope you will consider another visit!! - Lisa, Owner

Been going to Whispering Surfs for years. It's a great campground with plenty of activities in the area. The people are very friendly, and our kids loved their beautiful beach.

Very good campground. Nice management. Clean bathrooms. Stable electrical power. Only one shower in Men’s restroom. Two in women’s. We had a full hook up site and took showers in our trailer so that didn’t affect us. It may be a consideration for others. A mix of shaded sites and those with closer to full sun.

Thank you for your kind review. I am happy you enjoyed your stay and interactions with our staff! One small clarification on the showers - we also have an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand and a Family Shower (located behind the Men's room with an external entrance. So there are a total of 5 showers available for use - 2 women's, 1 men's, and 2 unisex (although one is only for rinsing as it is not fully private!) We hope you will consider visiting again one day! ~Lisa, Owner

We pride ourselves on being the "quiet" campground - especially in early and late camping season! And our staff is awesome! We hope you will visit again soon!

Everyone was very friendly. The park was clean, the sites were spacious. The other campers were courteous and quiet. We enjoyed talking with everyone while sharing coffee onSaturday morning. The campground was close to a few quaint towns and bike trails.
