Southern Michigan Ideas? Holland? St Joseph? South Haven?

Made a trip up the Ludington Michigan area a few years ago, and stayed at Ponchos Pond campground. Absolutely awesome campground, state of the art place, and excellent for kids! Ludington was great too.
This summer we want to head back to Michigan, but since its closer for us, and traveling with a newborn this time around, was hoping to stay in Southern Michigan, since its only about a 4 hour drive for us. Any campgrounds in the Southern Michigan area such as Holland or St Josephs area that are as nice and kid friendly with all the pools just as Ponchos Pond? Also, is there much to do for children in the Holland, South Haven, or St Josephs area? Or southern Michigan?
Thanks in advance!!!

    Use rvparkreviews.com and look at the campgrounds, amenities and reviews for those cities. You probably will not be able to get into any of the state parks as they book up within minutes of when they open the reservation systems. You should be able some private campgrounds with stuff for kids.

    Since answers are not rolling in you might want to do Google searches for `______ tourism' and put the Michigan town in the blank space. The problem with responses may be with having to entertain the children.
