Heritage Landing
Due to the high volume of requests for Heritage Landing rentals, we no longer accept phone requests. Requests must be made online. Summer rental space is also limited due to festivals and city-wide events. Rental contracts must be submitted at least two weeks before your event. All park areas are on a first-come, first-serve basis. The only exceptions to this rule are contracted festivals, events, and cruise ships.
All Campsite/Lodge/Shelter/Rental Cabin cancellations are made on the reservation website. Cancellations made 7 business days prior to your scheduled arrival date will incur the $10 cancellation fee. If you cancel 6 days or less prior to the arrival date, you will forfeit the first night’s fee or $75, whichever is the lesser amount. Once you have checked into your campsite, no refunds will be given for early departures.
Muskegon County Parks accepts cash and checks on-site. Credit cards can be used for online campsite reservations and on-site at Pioneer Park, Meinert Park, Twin Lake Park, and Blue Lake Park. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.
