Our Campground

Campground History

Greenwood Acres Family Campground was organized in 1972 as a campground two years after holding the 1970 Goose Lake Rock Festival-click here for more information. Richard Songer, a promoter and road construction contractor from the Detroit area, developed the campground.  In 1986, Richard Songer sold the campground to Lyle and Doris Wolfinger.

Previous to Richard's ownership, the different properties were owned by the Wolfinger and Greenwood family.  Lyle had farmed his property since 1947, he did not have a tractor and he held the reins of two horses to plow his fields to feed the 50 cows he milked by hand.  Lyle and Doris were married in 1949. As their four children came along, they were all involved in the dairy operation.

Lyle and Doris' son, Wendal Wolfinger, managed the campground until his untimely death in 1988. Since that time Wendy Wolfinger and Sharon Kinchsular have managed the campground.  Rex Wolfinger started a few years later.  Then Janet came on board in 2002.   Before Lyle passed away, the campground was incorporated in the name of Greenwood Acres, Co. Inc.  After the passing of Doris in 1987 and Lyle in 2004, their children and grandchildren inherited the campground. Now Wendy W. and her adult children are sole owners of the park. Raechel is the CEO, Jamei is the Vice President, and Matthew is the Supervisor of Maintenance.

We desire to operate this property as a family campground and are striving to make improvements to encourage generations of families to camp with us.  With the assistance of our dedicated employees, we are passionate about making each day at the campground an unforgettable camping experience.
