" If you seek a beautiful campground you need to look no farther than our Barnes Park, we have spent many wonderful days there. I have to take my hat off to the people that take care of the park. They do an outstanding job, the restrooms and showers are in excellent condition and very clean. the trash barrels are always empty and plenty of them. Some of the other park personnel around Michigan should come to our park and see how things are done."
