Trailway Campground - Campground in Montague - 4540 Dowling St, USA

It's very cozy. Definitely a regular campground feel. Not deep in the woods or anything. Excellent customer service and Sufficient restrooms

This campground is located in a great area right downtown Montague. It is next to the lake, a bike trail, river with fishing and The best part is the local restaurants, shops, and breweries as well. The campsite aren’t the biggest but good luck getting a reservation. They rarely have opening. So book early this is a hidden gem!!

We stayed here for a week while meeting up with relatives who were vacationing in Grand Haven.  The campground is owned by the city of Montague but has the look and feel of a small private campground.  We made our reservation via email and then paid half of what we owed for our stay online, paying the rest of it when we arrived.  We were given a campground map with WiFi connection info and the bathroom codes at check-in, and were offered a cable box (which we declined). The front half the campground is mostly back-in sites occupied by long-term residents.  The back half of the campground begins on the other side of a short, one-lane bridge with wooden beams supported by steel girders underneath.  It's strong enough to handle heavier rigs like ours, but you want you make sure your approach to the bridge is relatively straight if your rig is long.  The sites in the back half are a mix of pull-throughs and back-ins.  All of the sites have gravel pads and grass lawns, and most have a concrete patio with a picnic table.  Most sites have a least one shade-providing tree, but sites 43 and 44 do not.  Our FHU site (43) was level and was more than long enough to fit our 37-foot fifth wheel and 21-foot truck.  But if you have a long RV like ours, you're better off taking the long way around and entering site 43 via a right turn; making the left turn is tricky because it's a sharp turn and the power pole is at the back of the pad. There are bathrooms at the back of the office building, along with a camp sink.  There is also a public bathhouse associated with the Hart-Montague Bicycle Trail that is easily accessible from the back of the campground.  The dump station and the single large dumpster are along the main road of the campground.  There is a section of grass at the back of the campground that serves as a parking lot for towing/towed cars that don't fit into the shorter sites.  There is no dog park, but there were plenty of places to walk our dog along the bike trail. When we first arrived (on a Monday), we couldn't get any service on our Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna.  The signal strength was weak so I tried bumping it up with my cell booster, with no luck.  But early the next day (without the booster), I got 60 Mbps down and 8 up, and from that point on we had no problem streaming video except for a few brief slowdowns.  The best speed test I ran on my 5G AT&T smartphone showed 94 Mbps down and 16 up.  The campground WiFi was pretty good, with 17 Mbps down and 7 up. The real appeal of this campground is the location.  It's next door to a large grocery store and an ice cream shop, and within walking distance to multiple bars and restaurants in both Montague and Whitehall.  The Hart-Montague Bicycle Trail which borders the campground on two sides is a great way to get around, and you can see a mix of wildlife along the trail in the early morning (mainly waterfowl, rabbits and deer).  Despite being close to wetlands, we didn't have any issues with mosquitos during our stay. We would stay here again if we were in the area.

Owners were fantastic and friendly. Spaces were good. I stayed on electric and water only for a very reasonable price. Bathrooms clean and showers are clean and hot. Grocery next door is convenient.

Wonderful little campground! The grounds were immaculate and other campers were consistently warm and inviting. The adjacent bike trail is beautiful and goes for miles, plus they have some fun coffee shops and breweries within walking distance. We typically stay in state parks but loved this little gem! Nice job management team!

What a great campsite for bicycle travelers! (Tents are allowed only if you arrive by bicycle w/your tent.) We were a group of 8 who arrived by bicycle. The tent area is separate from the trailers & was quiet. Bathrooms are very neat & showers were the nice overhead shower head. Location is perfect w/ice cream place & grocery store very close. Managers were very helpful. If you are a bicycle traveler, this place is perfect.

Spent 20 plus years of our 40 year marriage visiting our dear friends on White Lake in Montague at their cottage before their passing. Never even knew this RV park existed. But then we never had an RV till last summer. Just a perfect spot to reconnect with the past. It's so convenient to so much ..... grocery store just over the bike path (fully stocked no need to haul a thing - better than my local Krogers), restaurants, fishing pier, laundry, and everything else the other reviewers wrote. Love the small size of the place and its peacefulness. The bath house is as neat as a pin with a wonderful "huge" shower head. The couple who manage the park for the city, Bob and Sue were ambassadors of good will. Price per night at $35 was great for a full hook up. Look forward to our getaway next summer. Just be mindful of the speed limit signs posted.

The city of Montague runs this little campground which is within walking distance to both Montague and Whitehall. Many sites are pull through and most are full hook up. We found the people of Montague to be extremely friendly and proud of their small town. From the woman at Lipka’s soda fountain who took our picture and suggested places for us to visit, the nice lady at the Chamber of Commerce who went out in the rain to open the Caboose Museum for us, to the many people who stopped to meet our puppy, and the kind man who told us more about Clear Springs Nature Preserve. To top it off, we enjoyed Montague’s Pumpkinfest which included wholesome fun like pumpkinseed spitting contest, dog costume contest, and a pumpkin roll down a big hill.
