Why Fenton families camp at Walnut Hills
Fenton families already know lake life. At Walnut Hills you trade the boat traffic for a lazy river float, a swimming beach, the Wibit water park and a fire pit at your own site.
Every site has a fire pit and picnic table, check-in is no-wait so you drive straight to your site, and the camp store has firewood, ice, groceries and scooped ice cream. See the full list of amenities and activities.
What’s waiting for you
Wibit water park
An inflatable water park on our swimming beach, open Tuesday through Sunday, and free for campers Tuesday through Thursday. Day visitors are welcome too.
Shiawassee River trips
Kayak, canoe and tubing trips on the river that runs along the campground, plus fishing and a boat launch.
Sites, cabins and RVs
201 grassy sites with fire pits and picnic tables, 50/30 amp full-hookup and waterfront sites, and camping cabins to rent.
Weekends bring themed events for kids and families, from Christmas in July and beach parties to haunted trail weekends in the fall. See this season’s campground events calendar.
