![]() ![]() ![]() The campgrounds themselves are very nice, well maintained (including the washroom facilities). Despite how busy they were that particular weekend, they did a great job of trying to maintain the cleanliness of all the bathrooms and facilities.ĭespite signs requesting everyone obey certain restrictions due to the spread of Covid, there were very few following the rules. The staff at the park was very friendly and helpful. We recently spent a weekend camping at this location with a group of friends. I would have given the park 5 stars, but on a Saturday when I went to run 8 miles, an employee stopped me and said I would have to pay the $9 rec fee/tax. You will eventually reach the Kal Haven Trail, but I turned around and ran south along South Beach, for a short stretch, before getting back on the path and heading back to my vehicle. I should note that on my 8 mile run, when the park trail came to an end, The city of South Haven has a paved path that continues on. There was plenty of shade and all three of my runs were very enjoyable. It wasn't like I was camping, or going to the beach all day. I reluctantly asked if I needed to purchase the recreation pass ($9.00), which I saw on a sign on the way in the park, but she told me that wasn't necessary since I am only running on the paved path. She said I could park in the small parking lot near the start of the path. Perfect! I have been running 3 times a week, 4 miles, 6 miles and then 8 miles, so the path, an old railroad bed, would be great. Upon arrival, I called the park and asked if the road was a safe place to go for a run and she said it probably would be, but there was a paved trail that started outside the campground entrance and went north to South Haven. I found Van Buren State Park was only about 10 minutes from us, so I went there. My wife and I were visiting the Covert/South Haven KOA and I needed a place to run. ![]()
