"Rainforest Cabin was Excellent. Melissa and Cd were Awesome and Friendly. Fire pit and Camping Experience Excellent. The decor was Excellent, change to fish theme. Location Great for Hiking. I liked the Goats and Ducks."
"Cd and Melissa are Awesome and Friendly. Rainforest Cabin was Great. The goats were Friendly and hungry. Shower needs light there, dark. Fire pit is great. Nice places to hike like loda lake in the national forest. Ludington state park is Excellent. Sleeping Bear Dunes is worth the trip, Climb the Big Dune, and take the scenic drive. Overall will give, Stay 6 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆☆"
"We loved this campground and the owners! We plan a weekend of sxs riding each year and this year we picked the Baldwin area. This campground is very close to state land and riding trails making it super convenient to get out and ride. The shower house was clean and sites tidy. The owners are very personable and we couldn't have been happier! Thanks for a great weekend!"
"Wonderful place to stay! Very nice staff and the cutest little cabins. Breakfast for a large group was a breeze, thanks to the large griddle and grill under the open pavilion that was available to use. Very clean bathrooms and showers that were available to all that didn't have those accommodations. Overall we had a wonderful experience and looking forward to coming back "
"You will not find a better campground... under new ownership and they have not skipped a beat! They are absolutely wonderful people who make you feel welcome. Would love to see a fish cleaning station in the future like the betsie campground. There is nowhere near baldwin to clean and dispose of fish unless you drive to Ludington which makes it a HUGE hassle for us fisherman. Enjoy your stay and bring your friends(dont forget to bring your furry friends too!)"
"Great people.Very warm welcome, made sure we were taken care of . Others around us was very friendly in campground. Great walk in the morning and the goats and ducks even enjoyed our attention. The pavilion looks like it would have many memories being made under one roof .keep up the great work your doing"
"The owners are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond for there campers. Very quite campground."

"Melissa and CD are wonderful owners and take great pride in their property. Clean and beautiful! I love the goats (Oreo and Frosty). I will definitely be back.
I highly recommend this campground. You won’t be disappointed.

We stayed at Ivan’s Campground & Cabins in Baldwin over Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful experience. We were in Site 5 with 30-amp electric and water. The site was spacious, level, easy to get into, and had plenty of shade.
The entire campground was very clean, quiet, and quaint. The bathrooms and showers were especially clean and well maintained. The campground also has a camp store, firewood available, picnic tables, and other conveniences that make your stay comfortable.
What really stood out to us, though, were the owners, Melissa and CD Taylor. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming and were very present around the campground. We regularly saw them taking care of the property, picking things up, and making sure everything was in good shape. They were always willing to lend a hand or answer a question. They were also happy to share information about local fishing spots, ORV trails, and other things to do in the Baldwin area.
The atmosphere is peaceful, laid-back, family-friendly, and very welcoming. If you're looking for a quiet campground where you can relax and where the owners genuinely care about their guests and their property, this is a great place to stay.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we're already planning our next trip back!
Highly recommend Ivan’s Campground & Cabins. "
"A peaceful trip, cabin into the wilderness. Clean and Quaint."

"Our first visit there last weekend far exceeded our expectations from the overall cleanliness, to the heartfelt welcome by both Charles, and Melissa. I cannot say enough nice things about our recent visit there other than everyone with us all rebooked again for there next year already!"

"Excellent owners, very nice and welcoming. Made sure we had everything we needed when we arrived. Took me around the campsite on a golf cart to show me the sites. Camp store, play ground, goats and ducks to feed. The kids always had something to do"
"Stayed there for the last 3 days of 6 days of Michigan. Nice place, nice owners! Enjoyed the band Friday night!"
"We can’t say enough great things about Ivan’s Campground & Cabins in Baldwin, MI!
The Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan was incredibly fortunate to have Ivan’s as our home base for the Six Days of Michigan event. From the moment we arrived, the hosts were friendly, welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely happy to have us there. They went out of their way to make sure our group had everything we needed and made us feel right at home.
It was also so wonderful to see how much they embraced the entire event. They welcomed our riders, volunteers, families, the Twisted Taco Tent, and even the Briar Payne Band, helping create an atmosphere that felt like so much more than just a campground—it felt like a community gathering.
Their kind Facebook posts throughout the week meant a lot to us. Knowing that they enjoyed having the CCC group there as much as we enjoyed being there really says something about the people behind Ivan’s. Their hospitality, positivity, and genuine appreciation for our organization made the entire experience even more special.
Ivan’s Campground & Cabins came highly recommended, and they absolutely did not disappoint! We would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a friendly, welcoming place to stay in the Baldwin area.
Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and for helping make the 2026 Six Days of Michigan such a memorable event. We truly appreciate everything you did for us and look forward to seeing you again!"
"Our club recently stayed here and it was a great experience. We had plenty of space to gather as a group, clean bathroom facilities, and there was even a band on Friday night. The owners went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay and addressed any issues quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends."
"Wonderful campground very close to Baldwin for ease of access. Owners are wonderful people and very helpful throughout the stay."
"We stayed here with our CCC trip and it was so much fun. Showers were clean and had excellent water pressure- a must for me with long hair on a dirt bike trip. The hosts were super friendly. Upon check in they told us of hidden sasquatches on the grounds for kids to find and turn in for a treat- my ten year old had a blast and found one. Our site did need an extra long hose for water- but we had one in the camper. All in all 5 star."

"I spent three nights on a primitive campsite at Ivan’s and was very impressed with the facility. The restroom/showers were clean and the grounds were very well kept. I’d highly recommend Ivan’s for anyone looking for a family friendly getaway in the great outdoors."
"If you’re going to Baldwin to fish, ORV, or just camping , this campground should be on your radar as a great place to camp. The owners are very accommodating and friendly and if you have a large group they will work with you to make a great event.
For those that are camping with tents the back half of the campground has some very nice and secluded campsites that kind of take you back to a simpler time, when camping was a tent, a campfire and and friends sitting around the fire at night talking about the days adventures.
I will stay here anytime I’m over here to ride.

"Great place to relax and unwind! The owners are great people as well!"
"I spent this passed weekend at this camp ground and I cant express enough how amazing the owners Melissa and CD were. I had the best experience with friends and family. I cant wait to see you both next year for the 30th sip and tip! Thank you again."
"Melissa and Charles were very accommodating. As RV newbies we didn’t have a clue on a lot of things. Melissa assured me they were a call away. Thank you for being so amazing. Best sleep I’ve had in years! ️"
"Such friendly and accommodating hosts!! Our friends stayed at the Home of the Brave Cabin…it was comfortable and cute! Our site was very nice too!"
"Very nice campground. Owners were nice and accommodating! Would camp here again!"
"We will be coming back next year and starting a tradition here! Absolutely amazing and beautiful campground. Everyone is super friendly! We got our wood delivered quick the two times we got it. The bathhouse was clean and well stocked and the accommodations they offer is none I’ve seen anywhere else. When we called to rsvp a spot I expected the same monotoned and annoyed voice like I had when calling two previous campgrounds; instead we were greeted with excellent service and were looking forward to our trip 10/10 would recommend anytime, great family campground and the goats were fun to see! Can’t wait for our next trip!"
"WE LOVE IVAN’S! Been camping here for more than twenty years. New owners CD and Melissa are at the helm now, and they’ve definitely hit the ground running. You still get the rustic charms that Ivan’s has long been know for, along with updated bathrooms, showers, and WiFi. Don’t have your own trailer or tent? Try one of Ivan’s comfy and cozy cabins. And the Baldwin neighborly spirit continues in that Ivan’s still has its special relationship with Baldwin Canoe Rental. Rent your canoes at BCR, and they’ll pick you up and bring you back to your campsite at Ivan’s. It’s the perfect getaway!"
"Nice campground with good trail access!!"

"Excellent campground with friendly and helpful staff. This family-owned business provides more than what you’d expect and need at a campground. Nice location for those fishing the Pere Marquette River (3 high quality fly shops minutes to the south and the town of Baldwin just to the north). I’ll definitely stay here again."
"The cabin was beautiful and clean! The bathroom and showers were immaculate! The campground is very well maintained. There was bingo, kids games, and a movie that was all included in the price! Great value for the money! Fantastic getaway!"
"Absolutely loved my stay here! My cabin was so clean on arrival. There is a broom in there to help clean up the sand tracked in. The AC was fantastic and plenty of space to put belongings. The bathrooms are cleaned daily and are hands down some of the cleanest ever. The new owners Melissa and CD are such a fantastic host. They had free activities throughout the day for kids and adults. They provided free slushies with 12 flavors during day, free popcorn at movie night. For prizes for the kids they were giving out ice cream and candy. The animals on sight are so loving! Will absolutely be back."
"Beautiful campground, amazing owners and soo much to in area . Off road trails kept up by DNR . River near by for kayaking or canoeing . And the best part is the Canoe company will pick you up at the campground. If you want to go off road the trails are attached to the back of the campground. You would just need to bring your own off road toys .. There is a remote control model airplane field near the campground . It was cool watching them fly while sitting outside. There is a furniture meusem near by that was stunning and the history was very interesting ! There are a lot of places to visit near and a day trip away from the campground. Staying at Ivan's was DEFINITELY a win win !!!"
"This was a last minute stop. Was out on the bike for a trip and the weather went bad the day before. So I didn't want to camp in a tent again. So I stop in to see if they had a cabin available. Yes they did. ; ) great choice on my part. They only had the 4 person cabin but I found a spot for me there. With the movie night ( was a kids movie but with the fire. It was all good ) good people to spend time with for the night. Next time im in need a place I will definitely keep this place in mind"
"The new owners were very nice and attentive. We enjoyed our stay at the Captains Quarters. We loved that the trails were connected to the campground. We will choose Ivan’s for our next stay in the Baldwin area."
"My husband and I stayed in the Home of the Brave cabin in May for 5 nights. It was very comfortable. It has a bathroom with shower and a kitchenette with everything needed. I would definitely recommend Ivan’s. Other cabins are nice too. The campground is clean and well maintained. Shout out to the new owners, Melissa and CD Taylor!"
"We enjoyed our stay. The new owners were very friendly and helpful.The bathroom and showers are clean. We'll definitely be back."
"The owners are great and want to make sure you have a great experience. We were there during the week so there wasn't many campers there, so nice and quiet."
"Had a very nice set up, clean and enjoyed the live band over the blessing weekend"

"An excellent campground when hunting and fishing the Manistee National Forest and surrounding waters. CD and Melissa are gracious hosts."
"A quiet and clean campground located just south of Baldwin perfect for exploring the local area. Husband and wife came very good people customer service was outstanding amenities were good. Look forward to going back."
"Good place for propane"
"This was my first time being here and it was a good experience"
"We stayed in the bunk house for our family reunion weekend and we had such a nice time! Our kids loved the playground and all of the animals. The cabin was super cute and well thought out. The campground was well maintained and the bathrooms were always clean. It's very clear the owners take pride in their work - it was a great experience."
"I stayed here 1 night at the very last minute on a fishing trip. SO wish I knew about this place sooner. We just car camped but the use of bathroom/shower amenities and for such a reasonable price was amazing. Such a cute property overall. Will definitely be back and look at booking a cabin!"

"Kelly was fantastic communicating and assisting us with our stay. Highly recommend if you’re in the Baldwin area."
"Perfect place for a handful of friends to get together and get on the river ! Next trip is for salmon! The park it's self, wonderful! Live band, plenty of "something to do's" and a pretty cool goat if you have quarters. I'll be back ASAP! Thanks to the owners! very much a happy camper!!!"

"Nice people."
"Extremely nice & helpful hosts! Sites are flat. Bathrooms very clean. Grounds kept up nicely. They have a garden & chickens! And the store is filled with all kinds of goodies including eggs, duck eggs, Amish jellies & salsa and much more."

"David and Kelly Wieda are spectacular hosts! We stayed in the "Home of the Brave Cabin" (2 older ladies on a trip north to kayak). The cabin was adorable and comfortable with everything we needed including air conditioning one evening that was particularly hot. Dave and Kelly were kind enough to let us make our evening campfires at an unused campsite a bit deeper in the wooded area, so we could feel like we were camping, even though we were in a cabin. We know that was a "one off" as they weren't busy yet, but really appreciated the kindness. Ivan's is a beautiful place with lots of lovely campsites to choose from as well as the cabins. Highly recommend! And the Pere Marquette River is such fun and so beautiful to kayak!"
"We rented their RV for the weekend to go riding some trails and had a great time! The owners were absolutely amazing and helpful! We will definitely be back again!"
