Dad’s Campgrounds

The Last Small Town in America

Some folks want a resort. We built something better — a place where the neighbor kids show up at your door, the fishing’s free, and nobody’s in a hurry.

Our story

Built by a Father.

Carried by His Son.

Dave DeWitt came home from Vietnam a captain. He didn’t talk much about what he saw over there. What he did instead was take his boy Blake down to the river.

They’d fish the cold water near their Michigan campsite until the light went flat. Later, when the family moved to Texas, Dave would take Blake to the park and throw horse apples until one of them finally quit laughing. That was Dave’s answer to most things — get outside, stay together, keep it simple.

Years later, Blake became a father himself — to his son Vincent — and started seeing those memories differently. Not as nostalgia. As a blueprint. Dad’s Campgrounds exists because Blake and Dave went looking for places that still felt like that river in Michigan. They found them. Hand-picked every one. Now they’re making sure those places survive.

“He never had to say what mattered. He just showed me.”

Our Promise to You

The Land Comes First

We picked every park for its trees, its water, its sky. We’ll improve the grounds — never the wilderness.

Affordable Isn't a Marketing Word Here

Low overhead, fair rates, no nickel-and-diming. Vacationing and living here should feel like a relief, not a stretch.

Safe Enough to Let Your Kids Roam

Not safe like a hotel. Safe like a neighborhood where someone's always got an eye out.

Put the Phone Down

We design for it. You'll find it easier here than you expected.

This Is Still a Small Town

The kind where people wave. Where your dog gets greeted by name. Where someone saves you a spot at the fire. We protect that with everything we've got.

“We didn’t set out to build a campground empire. We set out to find places where people could exhale — and make sure those places still exist.”

Dave & Blake DeWitt

Stay a Night. Or Stay for Good.

RV Vacation Sites

Full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer. Pull-through and back-in options across 26 parks. Bring your rig — everything else is already here.

Long-Term Residency

If you’re tired of rent that climbs every January, a landlord you’ve never met, and neighbors who move out before you learn their names — you’re not alone, and you’re not out of options.

Tent & Primitive Camping

Get closer to the ground. Select parks offer tent sites and primitive camping for those who want the real thing — no frills, no distractions, just the dark and the stars.

“I’ve lived in a lot of places
This is the first one that felt like home the first week.”
