Located in southern Michigan, approximately 10 miles from Kalamazoo, American Campground is surrounded by the flavor of the country. It offers the convenience of nearby malls, restaurants, shops, and stores. Outdoor enthusiasts will witness nature at its fullest on the famous Kal-Haven Trail, located a mile from the resort. A 30-mile nature walk between Kalamazoo and South Haven, the trail can be enjoyed year-round for walking and hiking in summer and cross-country skiing in winter.

The Air Zoo in nearby Portage displays rare original and authentic restorations of World War II (some of which still fly), Korean, and Vietnam aircraft. A Curtiss P-40 Flying Tiger and the four Grumman Cats are a part of the exhibit. The facility also offers indoor amusement park rides, a 4D theater (only one in the Midwest), and a full-motion flight simulator. The Kalamazoo Public Museum & Hans Baldauf Planetarium has exhibits dealing with science, history, and technology. Featured are displays of natural and local history, a pioneer room, an Egyptian tomb, and a planetarium with programs for children and adults.

A short drive to the west of the resort takes you to Lake Michigan, where you can stroll along a part of the longest freshwater beach in the world. The beach changes drastically from sugar-sand strands to a stretch of rugged, back-to-nature wilderness. The Michigan Maritime Museum at South Haven, on the southwestern Michigan shore, features exhibits that tell the story of “The People Who Built and Used Boats on the Great Lakes.” U.S. Coast Guard exhibits are on display from May through October.

Visitors can observe geese, peacock, pheasant, swan, wild duck, and other upland species that inhabit the area at nearby Battle Creek-Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, a Michigan State University experimental facility.
