We had a wonderful experience at both the lower loop where we saw the milky way and stars so vividly. But we really enjoyed the upper loop and felt more secluded. The campgrounds were clean and restrooms where well taken care of. We had an amazing experience at Pictured Rocks.

Such a wonderful site! Do remember to bring in your own firewood and water as they won't be available in the campground.

A very large and tight campground, with good but undersized bath and shower facilities.
It was clean and well managed.
Great location close to the Ferries to Mackinac Island.
