This is the third time we've stayed at Rippling while skiing at Marquette Mtn. Each time has been a similar experience...clean, convenient, and reasonable pricing. The "luxury" cabins have a great ambiance and are comfortable. All of the staff we encounter are friendly and helpful. And shoutout to Logan for going the "extra mile" when our truck got stuck in the snow. If you are skiing at MM, you should consider Rippling River.

The greatest Campground ever. Very clean, friendly staff, beautiful landscapes and the carp river. Fantastic bar with woodfired pizza, live music outside by the rushing water of the river, sitting by a fire. Great hiking and biking also. With a beautiful view from Marquette mountain.

We loved our stay at Rippling River Resort! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We rented a luxury cabin for an extended weekend trip. The cabin was perfect and had everything we needed. The location of the campground was great for us and a quick 10 minute drive to town. Highly recommend this campground and we hope to be back again!

Great location, especially if you want access to mountain biking trails! The campground is well-maintained and offers a bar with a small menu onsite. You can even sit near the river to enjoy the view and sound - they even have a few chairs in the river itself. The only downside for us was our campsite (#25). On the 2-dimensional map, it looked like a wide pie-shaped site with ample room for sitting outside our rig. In reality, a fenced-off drop off made it very narrow. We never felt unsafe, but then again we don’t have little kids or dogs. I wish their website showed pics of each site rather than the same single photo for all of them. Despite this, it’s still a great spot to give you access to Marquette and surrounding cities - it’s just that other sites would have been better for our 32-foot 5th wheel.

Great campground minutes away from Marquette. Array of campsites, from rustic tent camping to luxury cabins. The clubhouse made great pizzas, and had a large bar. Everything is cashless and works seamlessly. If you want firewood/ice etc., you just scan the QR code. Staff was very friendly, and all facilities we used were spotless. Looking forward to coming back next year.
