Oxbow Park

Great place to bring the family for water sports or just swimming camp all summer or just the weekend

My first time there enjoyed myself

Definitely one if the best kept secret spots in Newaygo! We love camping here and have family that are seasonal site campers. Bathrooms are numerous, clean and well maintained. The swim area is the perfect size for little kids and big kids alike. Our kids especially enjoyed the new fishing pier this year. We will be back!

Found this place called OXBOW CAMPGROUND in COLUMBIAVILLE on @googlemaps looking for a weekend getaway that was still close to home and knew this was the place to be so I pulled up expeditiously! You hike 1.5 mi into this low key bugout spot that some of the people in town don’t even know about. The scenery is amazing and the ZEN I felt standing along the riverbank just listening to the water flow is something I won’t forget. The only reason I bring my firearm is for animals that are larger than I and possible crazy folks that I may encounter on my path to seek enlightenment. Plus… THIS IS PURE MICHIGAN it’s LEGAL.

So this is how it goes… you park in a turnaround spot get out and mount up to go directly into the forest. It’s a trek thru the woods but leisurely and depending on your conditioning it’ll take you 1-2 trips based on what you need to bring to set up camp. It’s been raining for days all over the state so I brung firewood which forced me to make the extra trip after setting up base camp.

If you are looking to obtain a weekend of PEACE where most certainly nobody will be this is the spot for YOU and we can make that happen on “ADVENTURES with HAYES!”

It's a great place, family atmosphere, security could lighten up a bit, a little to tight. Great play area for the kids. Great beach for kids. Bathrooms are clean, very nice launch
