We go to Addison Oaks quite frequently, it's one of our favorite campgrounds!! Always clean, large campsites, & the staff is always very friendly!!!
We always take the grandkids here for a wonderful day at the park. Nice setting, wonderful tunnel of trees at entrance to park. Clean too.
I booked this campground several months in advance for my parents, who were arriving at the end of a month-long RV trip out west. Their site had a break in the fence that followed the path to the playground. Instead of staying on the semi-paved path around the corner, everyone else cut right through the middle of their campsite (saving maybe 20 yards of effort). Hundreds of people, dogs, bikes and scooters walking between your car and your tent day and night. Park officials said there were no other spots available, despite evidence to the contrary. They "fixed" the problem by putting up crime scene tape and then orange cones (classy), but it didn't stop the riff raff parade from considering your grassy patch their own public access. Campers were crazy rude, stopping frequently to harass you for having the nerve to want to enjoy your own paid campsite. They even came over in the middle of the night to vandalize the tent area (while taking pictures) and removing the cones. No enforcement of after 11pm quiet hours as most neighbors partied hard until at least 3am. No courtesy, scummy folks - a low class wonderland.
Visit Buhl Mansion and take the tour - You will learn some of Michigan's History (Oakland Township) and some of Detroit's History. Enjoy the Trails and watch for bird's as there are many to be found here.
Campsites are spacious and well kept. Lots to do. Beautiful park. Friendly staff picks up trash daily! Top notch security provided by Oakland County Sheriff. Close to Romeo..Rochester...yet far away and blissfully quiet.
Great Mt. Bike Trails and always a nice clean park. Can't beat having a nice local park like this in the area and even within riding distance.
We arrived after my wedding finished at Addison Oaks, which was amazing. Once we got to the campground we were going to decide who was sleeping there and who would be going home at 10 pm. We got to the campground around 5:30 so we had plenty of time to figure out the car situation and sleeping arrangements. But the staff and police non-stop harassed us about how many people we had and how many cars were parked there. After about an hour we had all the cars moved except for one car that planned to leave before 10:00 (which was the time they gave us until) but they wouldn't stop hassling us about it. We had kegs left over from the wedding that we planned on drinking there but they told us we couldn't tap the kegs or else we would get arrested. We had no problem with that and never took them out of the car but they wouldn't stop coming by and checking to make sure we didn't tap them. Later that night the cops came again to tell us we were too loud and then counted to make sure we didn't have too many people there, they even shined flashlights on everyone to check. At one point they just sat at the road and watched us. My husband and I couldn't even enjoy ourselves and some of our friends ended up leaving early because they didn't want to deal with it anymore. The next morning we asked our neighbors if we were too loud or bothered them and they said they couldn't hear anything.
Loud music and fighting until 4am.not family friendly at all. Way too many partners drinking all day and night. Not safe for families.
I have been watching the new trails being created. Along 32 Mile Rd. they are making a deck/s to go over the wetlands. It is looking great. Meanwhile, I have hiked only parts of the many trails within and they all have been very nice and scenic. Most people think of Addison Oaks as either a banquet center or for fireworks on July 4th. BUT there is so much to do there. Great camp sites too.A very very nice place to relax. (although I tend to stay away during the July 4th times) Easy to see the fireworks from a distance.
This was our second and last stay at this county-run park. The grounds and area are very pretty but as I said, it is high priced for what you get. They offer a large, nice, and level site with only water and electricity hookups. No sewer is available but they will send a crew over to pump out your tanks. No cable is offered but the lack of tall trees makes satellite reception a breeze. If they lowered the price by $10 per day, it would be priced right in my opinion. The laundry and bathroom were closed unexpectedly and without notice or explanation. It's a very popular place on weekends and holidays and we went to meet friends there, but unfortunately it doesn't meet our needs.
