Genesee Otter Lake Campground

We booked a lakefront, full hook up site with a boat. When we arrived we were concerned with the tightness of the sites because we had a 43 foot Motorhome but were directed to Site E45. We drove to the site and found it was not only NOT lakefront but was also already occupied. A man drove up in a golf cart to ask us if we needed help finding our site and we pointed out to him it was already occupied and not lake front. I showed him our reservation on my phone and he said, boat? What boat, we don't have any boats. He offered to drive my husband in the golf cart to look at open sites, they drove through the park and found 2 sites both to short for our rig and both overlooking a garage. We drove up to the office to find out what we could do to get a refund since what we paid for did not match what was available. Everyone was very helpful but could not offer us much info until they talked to the owners. First call to the owners they offered us the price difference between a lakefront site to a regular site because all the lakefront sites are seasonal sites with no availability. We declined based on not what we paid for and the sites available were to short for our RV. A second call to the owner we were offered a full refund which we did take and returned home. I want to state that all the staff was very helpful and tried their best to fix the situation but I feel strongly that the reservation system is very flawed and misleading due to lack of lakefront sites and we never saw any boats available and were told all they had was canoes and kayaks. The price in total for 2 nights came to $314 and I do not feel what they offer warrants that kind of price.

Great campground. We will be returning next time going to Oshkosh. Very friendly place and very quiet. Camping as camping should be.

Great staff, amazing fireworks for the 4th, alot of great activities for kids and adults. only downside was the algae in the lake.

First time there and second time taking the RV out. New to this RV life. The Campground is wonderful and I can see where families would enjoy it as there are many activities in which to participate for adults and kids. The campers were all friendly except for one grumpy fisherman who didn't appreciate us picking some trash out of the lake. He probably wasn't catching any fish. If I were to make one suggestion it would be to more clearly mark the lots. Some of the Lot numbers are not visible from the drive being on the back side of the Electrical Boxes. This is coming from a Sign Guy who is always looking at things like that. All things considered, we were pleasantly surprised that such a place existed so close to home. It felt like Up North Michigan.

I wish I could leave a great review but I can’t. The campground is old and run down, the basketball court has no hoops the bikes are junk and don’t work correctly. The lake is full of gunk even though they try their best to keep it down. Deer flies and mosquitos are terrible (that’s nature) maybe they could spray for them. We rented the cabin and it didn’t even have the essentials and for the price you would think it would. I have Verizon and had no service and they do not have WiFi just so your aware.

Campground is decent. Lots of activities for kids. Great cam store. Beach area is nice but the water is quite mucky and full of algae.

Two-day stay was quite enjoyable. Rustic area was very nice. Definitely would stay again.

We have been camping here for approximately 10 years and love it. We do wish we could choose what site you want and wish there wasn’t so many sites taken by “full” time campers.

There was a hiccup of double booking us but it was promptly taken care of. We enjoyed our stay. Loved the sites us and our friends we were on. #38 & #39. The kids loved fishing every day. The caught a bunch over the weekend. The only disappointment was we aren't allowed to pick our sites. If we were to return we'd like to have these sites. You should charge a Fee like alot of campgrounds do to lock in sites.

This is one of the better campgrounds you can visit. Very family friendly and pet friendly. Location is great. The seasonal site community is very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Everyone was very friendly! We will definitely be back!

Great park! Staff is very friendly. Lots of activities for the kids to do.

A lot of seasonal campers there. Strange atmosphere, it’s hard to explain how it felt being there. It was like everyone knew each other and you were the outsider. It was Uncanny really. I would never stay there again. We stayed there blindly and I did not read reviews prior. Wish I would have done that first. We were in town for a wedding we had 7 miles away from this campground. Wish I had stayed at a hotel instead.

site not level, one of three showers worked, had to wait 20 minutes to check out

Halloween Weekends are always a blast! The camp has a lot of fun events and is generous with prizes. So glad we got a warm weekend and could spend sometime at the beach. We did miss tie-dye though. The one thing I noticed this trip over previous visits was that they bathrooms were not cleaned during our visit at all. Besides that we had a fun time.

The only thing I wish was maybe getting the water tested so people can enjoy the beach more!

Didn’t start well. Paid for a full hook up site and when we arrived we were told not available. We were offered 3 other sites, 2 of which were brutal. Settled on the third which was nice. Would have been perfect if it had sewer. Nice view. People were very nice and tried to help and we were told that the third party web site that we went through made the mistake. I’m supposed to get a partial refund but we’ll see. Had a lot of things to do for the kids for Hollow ween weekend.

Overall this park is not what we envisioned. Tight campsites, no shade where we were, their dock they call for shore fishing was a small floating dock, not much you could do for that. No place for the dogs to swim though they do have a large dog area for them to run. Rude and drunk neighbor who had the audacity to say things about my husband she had no business saying. We left early and went to another campground. On a positive note they had the whole weekend planned of activities for kids.

The swimming beach was nice. Excellent party store although overpriced. An arcade for our teens, Boat and bike rentals were an option. Putt golf too! The fishing was great! So there were things to do but make sure you have money. The showers on the east end were kinda small and could use an upgrade. Our emergency dump was $100 so make sure you're empty. As a big family camping, we had fun but went home broke.

Very accommodating to our needs. Nice water site, love the camp store. Absolutely love the dog run space. Even though we did not have our dogs. Very nice clean space. Remodeled bathroom showers is needed. Very family oriented

Over all very nice campground. Great people. Suggestion: they should let people pick what camp site they want, not the smallest. The shower curtains need to be replaced.

The flies were horrible and my whole stay I tried to talk to someone about a seasonal lot and rate. No one had time for us.
