The staff is very attentive. I make a mistake doing my on-line reservation. They flagged it and had a plan ready for me when I showed up. It was not ideal, but it was MY fault. The staff made a plan and me and my family so we could enjoy our trip.
Thank you for helping navigate the internet.
Smiles.

Our campsite was given to another person with the same first name when he checked in Friday night ,Gregory N not Gregory Taylor , the name of my husband under the reservation. So when we arrived we woke up the person at our site booked and paid for in advance and we had to sleep in our car until the office opened. thank you for the refund however the trip was ruined without our sleep. in the morning when we went to confirm our 2nd night so nothing like this would reoccur they didn't have a preprinted slip expecting us and were surprised. this led us to believe our 2nd night was also in jeopardy if we didn't go to the office first thing saturday morning. never had this problem in the past. i will now book in my name not my husbands which is more unusual.

Beautiful campground nestled in the forest. Large, spacious sites. The bathrooms appear to be recently renovated - they were nice and clean!.

This campsite and campground is fantastic. We loved everything about it. It was full but didn’t feel crowded at all. The bathrooms, showers, camp sink were all in great condition.

Overall everything was great. The NPS employee at check in was very helpful, wish I would have gotten his name but he was caucasian, stocky with a sandy colored hair and beard. The site was in great shape and the bathrooms clean as always.

Close walk from the parking lot but far enough it feels secluded. Good amount of space and layout. Loved our time here

This is a beautiful, wooded campground. The walk-in sites are spread out and don't feel crowded. There's a nice trail from the campground down to Lake Michigan. Great for birding.
