OMG where to start. Super friendly staff. Clean park and facilities. 3 swimming pools! So many fun activities for the kids and adults! Close to Lake Michigan summit park and Bortell’s Fish place. They are smack dab in between Ludington and Pentwater. Can’t say enough about Kibby Creek.

This was our second year here and we stayed on site 16! This site has trees behind and to the left of it so it feels more private. We absolutely love Kibby Creek and all you can do right at the campground! Pool, walking, pond, the barn. Very clean and every staff member we encountered was friendly and went above and beyond. We will continue to be back ♥️

There facilities are impressive these days. But I felt the need to leave a quick 5 star for the guy who came out and stopped kids from being dangerous at the pool. Sounds simple but a huge relief not to see anyone get hurt and reassuring to know Kibby Creek cares enough to enforce their safety rules as well.

We were so sad to leave! We had a great time staying at your campground. Your staff are so friendly and helpful. Our grandsons loved the pools, the fishing pond, the Barn, playing basketball, and making new friends. We highly recommend your campground.

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.
