Backyard Campground - Gratiot, WI

Relaxing place. Actually kinda quiet for amount of people camping there. Gets a little windy sometimes. A little to much road riding to get to atv trails but it is managable. Cheese trail is alot of miles to explore.

I booked a weekend for my mom,dad,aunt and uncle to stay at the backyard campground with both of their campers and at first there was a little confusion but it got figured out real fast.

A shout out to Nancy for being very nice and checking on us. Although I did not stay overnight at the campground my mom dad aunt and uncle all had a great great time. They even made the remark that they would definitely come back to this Campground.

I am so very happy that they had a great time at the backyard campground all of the people were very friendly so yes I would recommend this place to anyone with young kids or without young kids it is a very great time.

I know they offer so much more like miniature golf and if you have a golf cart or ATV they do have trails that you can ride which is very cool and I seen a lot of people doing that so it must be a lot of fun.

Thank you backyard Campground and Nancy for allowing me to have a great time with my family❤?❤

I was told that this place used to be an ok place to camp n stay..But due to the lady that runs the grounds and her crookedness, her explosive temper and disrespect of the people that pay to stay there... She stirs up trouble and makes up new rulz ontop of rulz to justify her lying ways. The campground has gone down hill due to poor management. The showers are nasty and unsanitary ✓The lady that runs the place is foul mouthed and very unprofessional and I'm surprised that they are still in business today... The showers r in the milk house sober up already; I can't believe u forgot already... Come on forgetful #

The owners and workers are absolutely nuts. Rude, disrespectful and unstable. These people need help.

Was a bit hesitant about moving here after reading the reviews. but we did and were there during February march for work didn't have any issues owner was nice and friendly campground was pretty quiet good place to come stay for a while there is a pool table and game room payed in advanced and owner was more than fair with the reimbursement as we left early to relocate for work. Will defiantly stay here if needed in the area again

Gerald, Doug, Douglas and his other crew worked really hard to get us into a permanent spot last September -October. We really loved being there and we were looking forwards to camp there for a very long time. . The other campers were extremely friendly but we pretty much stayed to ourselves. When we talked to Gerald and Nancy about the campgrounds rules they said no rules here. Be kind and courteous to your neighbors and you will be fine. HOWEVER on Aug 19 I went to the pool area with my 7 year old grandson and his 25 year old sister. My gs did run and jump into the shallow part of pool. 5-6 other kids were jumping in as well but they were going in the 5 foot depth area. (NO POOL RULES are posted). The owner Nancy got in my gs face yelling at him and he just stood there. She yelled at him again louder and he acknowledged her question by shaking his head up and down saying yes. My gd asked her to please not talk to him like that. Saying she was being rude. Nancy turned her attention to gd. Got in her face asking her do you know who I am...gd said you are Nancy. Nancy goes..do you know who I am..im the owner of this campgrounds and told gd to get the hell out of the pool. Gd was trying to get out of the 5 foot depth and Nancy would not stop yelling at her. Gd got to the bench where her towel glasses and shoes were. Nancy asked her what site she was on and I told Nancy that she was with me. Nancy is in her face saying she is no longer going to be back at the campgrounds and she's banned from the campsite. My granddaughter is part owner of the camper. When we drove back to my daughters camper and was explaining to her and her husband what just happened. Nancy and her 16 yo daughter Amy barged in their camper and started swearing at all of us. We told both of them to leave. She was giving gd 10 minutes to vacate the property or she will call the cops. We should have called them ourselves so there would be a report. I tried to talk with Nancy but she would not hear anything I had to say. There were many of HER people outside in the road. I recognized her husband and so called security (two young guys in backyard campground tshirts with SECURITY on them)...ready to escort her out. Nancy also accused us of driving through the grounds more than 10 mph.. doing donuts. She said they had the incident on tape but refused to allow us to view it. Saying that the so called tape was in the hands of the security company. The car was supposed to be a white KIA.. they drive a white Ford explorer. That night Nancy blocked my daughter and I from the Backyard campground Facebook page and was spreading lies about us. Saying if we don't pay we don't play. I was paying her 100.00 a month which she agreed to. My daughter asked her several times what she owed and Nancy never told her. We have since spent money to move out. Nancy was really nice at first but has a problem with alcohol and is a very rude, foul mouth, narcissist person. I suggest going camping elsewhere because you never know when Nancy will turn on any of your family.

It's the only game in town if you are working within 30 miles that is a actual rv park in this area. I will have stayed 6 weeks. Give it a chance, the owners are easy to work with and working hard to make it a awesome stay. Kind and giving people.

Been coming here for years, used to be an okay last resort but honestly has been getting worse. Most recent time they gave us the tiniest site that probably shouldn’t even be a campsite lol there wasn’t enough room for our cars so we had to park them a bit away, there was no fire pit or anything, and a great view of the dumpster, it was pretty bad and we ended up switching campgrounds our second night (great decision, our new one was less than half the price, plenty of room, a nice firepit, free Wifi, etc). Honestly the owners should stop booking for the weekend when they run out of space instead of trying to squeeze more money.
