Welcome to the Historic Village of New Richmond! Once a bustling lumber town established by early settlers, New Richmond now sits idle on the Lower Kalamazoo River. Fast Forward 150 years...... Welcome to WaterTrail Ventures! Where the pavement ends, adventure begins. Come adventure with us!! Our riverbend glamping site awaits your arrival! Located on our private river bank this is on 3 acres of land shared by 2 personal glamping sites and a rustic group campsite. Our sight offers scenic views of sunrise on the riverbend as well as the New Richmond Swing Bridge. Now open to pedestrian traffic only, the small county park next door offers a riverside boardwalk full of natural flora and wildlife for morning strolls or the delight of a fisherman who likes to be 1st on the water! Kayak and Canoe Rentals are also available on sight by appointment or reserve one with your tent. Hiking trails nearby offer a great way to explore the Allegan Forest and reconnect with nature. 7 miles east of Saugatuck and 5 miles north of Fennville, our site makes a perfect escape from the nearby lakeshore district and tourist attractions. Just follow the paved road all the way to the end and enter through our private drive. ....where the pavement ends, adventure begins! See ya at the river!

Great Stay!
We loved tent camping at this site. The wood was well stocked and the water provided was so helpful. The toilets are clean and the mornings are peaceful by the river. This location is so close to nearby wineries and breweries. We are looking forward to going back!

Worth It, But Be Aware
The host was pleasant and met us upon checking in. She made sure we knew that our dogs were to be haltered at all times. However, during our stay, the site host's dog came running through our camp, heading to our close neighbor's dog, and it was not on a leash at all. We booked this site because of the description of being "secluded", which was not so that we could have privacy and room for our dogs. The yurt was very cool and the scenery was very pretty. My only complaint is that is was not as secluded or quiet as the posting would lead you to believe.

Lovely spot
This was a lovely spot! Very peaceful and quiet. The site is exactly as pictured. We had a great fire and kayaked with the on-site company the next morning. The hosts were very accommodating.

Beautiful Site, but Lacks Privacy
Tent · With kids ·
The host is very communicative and friendly! The site is beautiful! However, it was not as private as we had hoped. The kayak/canoe area was right by the campsite, and the staff were frequently coming in and out to prepare them. There was also a wedding across the street, and the music was very loud. In addition, we kept being woken up because of the loud trains passing by.

Well maintained private campsites
Very clean and private camping area. Grass was freshly mowed when we arrived and plenty of fresh water and fire wood were supplied and ready. Large trash barrel and porta-potty are along the roadside nearby. There’s a fire ring and a large picnic table for meal preparation. Road nearest to the site dead ends so there’s very little outside traffic. Hosts are very friendly and checked up on us daily. We had 2 tents but there was ample room for probably 4-6 more. Glamping sites are close by but there’s still plenty of privacy. Will definitely be returning next season!!
