Great campground! Well kept and clean. We had a wooded site not far from the waterfront sites and it was great. Aside from the mosquitoes it was amazing. Very close to Munising and Pictured Rocks, but also lots to do the other way too like canoe the Au Train River and we even went to Marquette and checked out the Black Rocks.
