Last year I would have given this a five-star review. This year, there was a new sheriff in town...aka, a campground host who is a stickler for the rules. Instead of approaching our site from the street, she came in through the brush from another site. My canine good citizen, and former service dog (health issues have forced us to get a new pup to take over that job), alerted me by barking. A very uncharacteristic behavior used only when he feels there is something to be concerned about. Now mind you, because he is a highly trained animal, we generally do not leash him on the site. Always when leaving the site, but not usually on the site. That way he is still available to help me up off the ground if I fall. However, she demanded we leash both our dogs. N
She complained about the way we leashed the animals: on a 5-ft leash, attached to a runner with pulleys. That way they get the exercise and enjoy the trip as much as we do. It is the reason we seek out large national forest sites. But the tree we had it connected to apparently crossed a path we were unaware of. Not many people use it, but she demanded we shorten the run. When we did, it was too short to do any good. Then she complained that our generator cord crossed that same path. It is a very thick yellow cord that is clearly visible, but she was worried about a trip hazard. The only other place we could safely place the generator was close to both our site and the one next door. Not enjoyable for either of us, but necessary. So after a few days of listening to the generator and untangling the dogs from everything on the site, we decided to pack it up and go home. Fortunately, recreation.gov gave me a refund for the two days we did not use. We won't be returning to this site as long as that particular campground host is there. We have been at numerous National Forest sites all over the USA and have never encountered anyone complaining about how we camp or how our dogs behave. Not once in 15 years!

Around midnight on my first night there some exceptionally loud music started playing that went on and on. And the loud awful music started again even earlier the next night. My neighbors stated they tried to go to the camp host site but got no answer. I know this is a rustic site within the National Forest but there should be someone or some way that campers can report such disturbances too. I didn’t get much sleep while there because of this matter.

On the water! No issues with bugs! Quiet! Flowing well across the street! What more could you ask for?

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL, clean facilities, awesome spots, although it's seems more appropriate for travel trailers and small RV's bc we had a difficult time driving our tent spikes in the hard gravel surface... very quiet, friendly, would absolutely return to munising, mi. But in a rv.
