Booking online was easy. I used the kiosk to stay an extra night. I had site 6 right down the exit drive. The road noise echoed through there. Otherwise it was quiet. I was lulled to sleep by the river every night. The neighbors were all older peeps like myself so it was pretty peaceful.

If you’re looking for a good place to eat Jacks in Rapid River has phenomenal breakfast. There are waterfalls at the northern end of FH 13. It’s a quick drive to pictured Rocks. A nice hiking trail off 509 Bay De Noc. Lots of state roads for SxS riding.

For 12 hours a family used the driveway as their motor raceway. Very inconsiderate. There is no posted contact phone number to call to report this type of incident nor a phone number for urgent / emergencies situations.
Very disappointed in the management of this campground.

We spent 2 nights here. It's a primitive campground. Vault toilets were clean and well maintained (even had a can of flying insect killer in it). There is some road noise. The sites are well separated. Overall we liked the campground.

6 campsites on the river. Pit toilet. Bring your own water. No RV hook-ups. No hook-ups in general. ATV friendly. Pet friendly. Firepits with grated grill top. Picnic tables at each site. $24.00 a night. Campsites 3, 4, and 5 are pull through. Campsites 1 and 2 are first come first serve.

We stayed and loved it. Tent camped. It has bugs because it's outside... Pit toilet was clean. Water spigot was missing so bring your own water or filter system for the river. You can cut downed wood so bring chainsaw or an ax. We bought wood in Manistique on the side of the road. Faint road noise, but wasn't a big deal. Close to ATV trail access. Camp hosts greeted us on our first day, super friendly. It's rustic camping. If you are into that then I highly recommend this spot.

Nice campground but lots of biting bugs. The water valve at the well was not working as of this review of 7/1/2024. Flowing well was flowig but there was no idication that it was safe to drink. Good T-Mobile cell phone signal with extender. The campground is elevated aove the irver, so you are not camping next to it.
