Located on the Thornapple River near Gun Lake in the heart of Michigan’s Barry County, Whispering Waters Campground is ideally situated and easy to reach from the metropolitan areas of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing and Battle Creek. Offering a quaint lifestyle that is cherished but so often missing from the contemporary American landscape, the town of Hastings has been identified as # 68 on the list of the best small towns in America in author Norman Crampton’s book “The 100 Best Small Towns in America”. We like to think that Whispering Waters Campground, in turn, offers its guests some of the best in Hastings, Barry County, and the state of Michigan. By definition, this is “Pure Michigan” at its finest!
Whispering Waters Campground offers 85 total sites, 49 sites w/sewer. 1/2 mile from Barry Expo Center. 20 miles from Gun Lake Casino. 20 – 35’x70′ pull thrus w/30 amp, some 50 amp sites available. Seasonal sites available. Library (over 3000 books), exercise & meeting rooms. Heated Restrooms & Showers.
