ISABELLA COUNTY — At 9 a.m. Feb. 11 online reservations will begin for the Isabella County Parks and Recreation 2025 camping season for Coldwater Lake Family Park and Herrick Recreation Area.
From Feb. 11-19, reservations can only be made through the online reservation system on the County Parks website.
To create a new account and browse availability, go to the “Reservations” tab, then “Online Reservations”. Read through the posted messages that include policies and procedures. All policies apply to both online and phone call reservations. Finally, click “Reserve Online” at the bottom of the page. The reservation website can also be accessed directly at isabellacounty.goingtocamp.com.
Everyone is encouraged to use the online reservation system as this will be the earliest opportunity to make 2025 camping reservations at Coldwater and Herrick campgrounds.
Telephone reservations will be taken beginning at 9 a.m. Feb. 19.
Reservations require a two-night minimum and a 3-night minimum for holiday weekends. Full payment is due at the time of making a reservation.
If you reserve multiple campsites for a group, you will need the name, address, phone number and email (email optional) of at least one person, 18 years or older, staying overnight on each site. The occupant’s name must be different for each site reserved. Isabella County Parks’ campgrounds do not offer group-specific campsites.
Coldwater Lake Family Park and Herrick Recreation Area are open for camping on May 2. Coldwater closes Oct. 5, and Herrick closes on Sept. 1.
Herrick Campground will close earlier than usual for the season only due to planned bathhouse renovations scheduled to begin after Labor Day. Deerfield Nature Park is open for rustic, tent-only camping year-round.
If you have any questions regarding camping reservations, contact the Isabella County Parks Main Office at 989-317-4083.
