Welcome to Kibby
Whether you’ve camped here for years or are planning your first visit—welcome.
Whether you’re planning your first visit or coming back for another season, we’re so glad you’ve found us.
Kibby Creek isn’t flashy or fancy—and that’s exactly the point. We’re a place where kids ride bikes until sunset, where mornings start slow with coffee and birdsong, and where nights end around the fire with sticky marshmallows and stories passed down through generations.
We’ve been welcoming campers for over 50 years, and some things never change—like kids in the pool, families fishing at the pond, or new friends sharing stories over ice cream. These simple moments still matter most.
But even as we hold tight to the traditions that make this place special, we’re always growing, always improving—because we care deeply about what we do. Our passion for family, connection, and meaningful time together pushes us to keep innovating—whether that’s adding new amenities, upgrading your campsite experience, or simply finding better ways to serve you with heart.
In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, we believe campgrounds like ours matter more than ever. They’re spaces where families slow down, neighbors become friends, and nature makes space for laughter, rest, and reconnection.
Whether you’re camping in a big rig, a borrowed tent, or one of our cozy rentals, we believe your time here should feel simple, special, and yours.
We know there are lots of places to stay in Michigan—but at Kibby Creek, you’re not just another camper. You’re part of a tradition. You’re part of a story.
And we’d be honored to welcome you into it.
