Flowing Well Campground

We very much enjoyed our stay at Flowing Well Campground in late August 2019. We stayed midweek as part of a cycling trip across the UP. We had a small motorhome which worked very well on the lot. The lot was very private and had a lovely view of the river through vegetation. There were plenty of mature trees and shade. We enjoyed walking to the artesian well. The campsite is fairly remote but was well placed for our travels. We did encounter a lot of bugs (mosquitos with some gnats/flies) which made it challenging to cook outdoors and kept us inside for most of the evening.

We arrived after 11pm after a long drive, it was a relief to see our last name on site 6. The camp ground is quite nice, the pit toilet was clean. The only possible downside would be early morning logging trucks on the nearby road. I would camp there again!

Clean, quiet, small campground. Stream below had nice white noise all night. Mosquitoes were particularly numerous. Higher numbered sites have most exclusivity/privacy/set back from the road. Site 3 is directly next to the bathroom, and it was a small walk from the end of the camp loop. When I was there there were some US Forest Service rangers doing maintenance and surveying, so it is well maintained.

Get a reservation. Given the number of USFS camps near here, there were a lot of folk driving through to look for First-come sites as early as 3pm in peak season (end of July/early August)

No fault of the site or workers - but the WORST mosquitos I’ve ever experienced. Setting up our tents was horrific and we were eaten alive. Couldn’t bring ourselves to explore the area or even cook dinner on the fire because they were so bad!

Great trails and a beautiful hike up one side of the river and then back (8 mi)
Bathrooms and showers were fabulous, new and clean.
