Why Kalamazoo families camp at The Oaks
Kalamazoo families come east for a different kind of weekend: the Waterloo Recreation Area next door, the Haehnle Bird Sanctuary on the campground’s border, riding trails and a fishing lake.
Check-in is no-wait so you drive straight to your site, short-term RV and tent sites have a fire pit and picnic table, and the camp store has groceries, ice, firewood, ice cream and bait. See the full list of amenities and activities.
What’s waiting for you
Trails, lakes and fishing
Mountain bike and golf cart riding trails, a fishing lake on site, and the Portage Lake boat launch nine minutes away.
Sites for every rig
Over 200 grassy sites on 155 acres, 30 amp RV sites, waterfront sites and a tent area, plus showers and an on-site laundry room.
Waterloo next door
The Waterloo State Recreation Area is less than five minutes away, with lakes, hiking and riding trails. The Haehnle Bird Sanctuary borders the campground.
Weekends bring themed events hosted by the park, and the pavilion is available for group gatherings. See this season’s campground events calendar.
Seasonal sites for Kalamazoo-area campers
Seasonal sites at The Oaks keep your camper set up all summer, so the I-94 drive is the only work of the weekend.
Make a weekend of it
Pair a few days at the campground with a stop in or near Kalamazoo:
- The Air Zoo in Portage
- The Kalamazoo Valley Museum
- Bronson Park downtown
Then come back to camp for a quiet evening and a campfire.
