Way Back Campground

The Way Back Campground in Jonesville, Michigan, offers a classic, family-friendly camping experience with riverfront access to the St. Joseph River and a well-balanced mix of open fields and wooded sites. Spread across 74 sites—including tent pads, RV hookups, and eight cabins—the campground caters to diverse camping preferences with amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, and a dump station for RVs.

Situated just north of US-12, the campground is surrounded by rural Michigan landscapes, providing a quiet retreat with flat terrain that blends open spaces and tree cover. On-site recreation includes basketball courts, horseshoe pits, and fishing along the river, while the nearby Baw Beese Trail (15 minutes east) offers hiking and biking opportunities.

The campground’s layout prioritizes convenience with pull-through sites for RVs, though some areas are closer together, making it better suited for social campers than those seeking deep solitude. Highlights include seasonal hayrides and craft activities, adding a rustic charm. With a mix of shaded and sunny sites, it’s ideal for weekend getaways or short stays, particularly for families and groups drawn to its structured yet relaxed atmosphere.
