Located within a park that maintains a working small train for rides around a track. Gravel roads with sites on mowed grass the park is accessible for most sized RVs.

Situated on the site of the House of David guests can experience a unique piece of American history. the home of a religious cult and commune the House of David was famous for its small amusement park, 1900’s ride on steam trains and world famous travelling baseball team. Currently being restored by volunteers camping guests can ride the trains, hand paddle a 1950’s era toy hand train, or enjoy watching a ball game by the classically styled House of David team (now playing at the location of their original field).

A true “Field of Dreams” Eden Springs Park and Campground is reasonably priced and close to one of the prettier beaches on Lake Michigan at St Joseph. Benton Harbor is an economically depressed area and the neighborhoods around the park are a bit sketchy but inside the park there are no issues.

Eden Springs Park and Campground is working to improve their facilities and provide RV sites that are long enough for the biggest rigs with the only issue being the lack of easy access due to the old design of perpendicular sites to roads.

Eden Springs Campground & RV Park in Benton Harbor, Michigan, run by camp manager Cindy, may well be one of our favorite small town parks! We are spending the month of August 2018 here and have found the venue quiet, well maintained, friendly and inexpensive ($375 for a month). I do not expect the prices to stay this low now that it has been “discovered”. They are working on adding an updated restroom, dog park and other facilities. The sites are large, level and spaced far apart from each other. We pulled in with a 42’ rig, pulling a 28’ hybrid trailer (total 70’) and easily pulled into our site without having to unhook. We had enough space to park a jeep in front of and and in back of the attached rig. The sites are designed so that no camper or RV faces a sewer connection. All of the hook ups are centrally located between two sites, with each rig having their driver side towards the hookups and their awning/entry sides facing the opposing side. Each site has a gravel space between them that could be traveled through, though campers all set up picnic tables, chairs and campfires there so practically there is no egress, thus privacy. This camp has the best WiFi of any camp we have ever stayed at. Some spots offer OTA TV and satellite reception. Ours did not as we chose to have a full tree canopy. Most of the sites offer Full Hookups with 30/50 amp service. The camp manager, Cindy, provides fire rings and picnic tables as requested, so, if you need either, just let her know when you call. The tables were clean and in good shape. The fire rings can be placed anywhere you want. As an aside, when a camper leaves, Cindy and her crew comes and removes the rings, cleaning up the residue so there is no mess left! The campground grass is cut routinely and “weed-whacked” as needed. Cindy has been one of the nicest hosts we have met on our travels. She is always pleasant, available as needed for emergencies and even delivered our mail one afternoon. She is a font of knowledge about the area and willing to share. Probably in keeping with her personality, the majority of the visitors here have been friendly, chatty and willing to help each other. The RV resort is about 10 minutes from St. Joseph, MI and multiple rural wineries in the area (a favorite pastime for my wife Audrey). St. Joseph’s is a small town located on Lake Michigan with excellent food, event venues and a lovely white sand beach. Be sure to stop at the Chocolate store in town & Silver Lake Pizza for a desert/dinner well worth the time. The town of Benton Harbor itself once was booming city/community, which has come into hard times, but we did not have any problems traveling around that area. This area also has a non-defunct amusement park attached to the campground which is being slowly renovated by a group of volunteers. They have restored several of the buildings, a fountain and a miniature train which takes visitors on a 1/4 mile ride on Saturday/Sunday. Additionally, the camp is home to it’s own 1800’s era baseball team which plays home and away games in the old bare handed style! Behind the camp is a now mostly abandoned religious enclave called the House of David which was started in the late 1800’s/ early 1900’s (Google it!). Some interesting architecture and several restored mansions for the 5 remaining members of the group. I recommend this park for someone wanting a quiet, clean stay.

In a word… amazing. The history of this location alone is worth a stay. We were lucky enough to be here during a summer weekend so we could ride the classic steam train AND watch the House of David baseball team play on the original location of their field. If you are unfamiliar with the lore of House of David it is well worth an exploration in the local library; my brief description would do it no justice.

We had a large pull thru site that had recently been cleaned up. Park management was friendly and visible. This area of Michigan is interesting in that you stay in Benton Harbor which is a black neighborhood replete with corrupt politicians and then cross the river to St Joe which is a white neighborhood with a booming vibrant downtown. If there is any better place to see the racial divide in action I am unsure how it could be more demonstrative.

Nightly rate was very reasonable. We had a picnic table, brand new, and fire ring. It was shared with our neighbors which was a real treat. The first evening we helped a brand new RVing couple from Chicago with their dealer plate truck and trailer :). they were complete newbies so it was fun teaching them the basics.

This park absolutely has to be on your must visit locations if you want to get a feel for old school midwest towns.
