Why Fowlerville families camp at Walnut Hills
Fowlerville families like Walnut Hills because it’s close and it’s busy in the best way: themed weekends, a beach, sports courts and the Wibit water park, with quiet riverside sites when the day winds down.
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.
