CRAVEN PARK
Craven Park Campground is a great place to stay. The park has many fully functioning sites with electric and water. For the more rustic campers, primitive sites are available. There is a beautiful view of Craven Pond with plenty of fishing opportunities. The quiet park has a nearby walking loop, the Cedar River Natural Area Trails System, that winds through the woods.
Craven Park is conveniently located just a mile east of downtown Bellaire, which has great dining and shopping opportunities. Richardi Park, with a swimming beach, basketball, and tennis courts, is just a short walk away from downtown. Not far away is Glacial Hill Pathway and Natural Area, with a large trail network suitable for both hiking and mountain biking. Also within easy driving distance is the Grass River Natural Area.
Reservations: The campground is now operating by reservation for sites 1-21 and 26-29. Sites 22-25 and 31-35 are first-come first-serve only. • If you have made your reservation online, you may set up camp at the site you have reserved. • If you are a same-day camper and would like to stay on a “reservation only” campsite please scan the QR code or visit our website bellairemichigan.com to make a reservation online to block off your site PRIOR to setting up your campsite. This will limit the possibility of double booking a site. • If you are a same-day camper and would like to stay in one of our “first-come first-serve” campsites please fill out envelope found at the bathhouse and place payment inside the slotted door. You are always welcome to make reservations at our office at 202 N Bridge Street, Monday-Thursday 8am-4pm. Cash or check will not be accepted for a reservable site unless the reservation is made at our office. Craven Park Campground is open from April 1st (weather permitting) through October 31st.
