Mount Pleasant Outdoor Adventures campsite 158
We used a free night certificate for this stay, which we received for attending an Outdoor Adventures sales presentation last year. We did not join the program, because we felt the resorts are geared more toward families, and we are almost retired with no little ones. You can only make reservations to use the free nights less than a month out, and the certificates cannot be used on holiday weekends. We were somewhat worried we would have trouble using them; however, we have not had any trouble. The only date we could not use our certificate was May 26th (for just 1 night), because that Wednesday before Memorial weekend was also considered part of the holiday weekend. I was surprised to learn we could pick our site when calling to make reservations. If you care about location, there are pretty good site maps of each resort online. We attended the sales presentation in Kalamazoo, and at that location, we did not pick a site beforehand. They told us that when we arrived, we would go in and set up on any open site, and then return to the office to register.

| Fire ring on campsite 158 at Outdoor Adventures Mt. Pleasant |
We did not see anyone at the guard shack when we arrived at the Mt. Pleasant resort Thursday evening, so we drove to our site and set up. When we checked in later, we learned there is no bathroom code or Internet access code. This location is off the beaten path on a dirt road, so I suppose there is no need for either of those things. The WiFi service is lousy; higher speed packages were available for purchase.

Our campsite was full hookup. The site was level and long with no obstructions. The parking pad was crushed gravel, and there was a cement pad next to it with a picnic table. The cement pad was smaller than our 9' x 18' outdoor mat. We observed a bat house in the woods behind our campsite. There were no insects of any kind during our stay.

The resort map for this location is somewhat incorrect for the site we had chosen. The map shows a green space between sites 157 and 158. We chose 158 because we thought there was going to be some unusable space between the two sites with more room between them. There was nothing between us and the back of the camper next door. Our site was still spacious, although there was actually more room behind us on site 159.
