The campsite was clean and quiet. However, the drawbacks of this campground made it an unpleasant stay. A few well used trails run through or near the campground. There is also a boat ramp to the lake adjacent to the campground. All of this draws in many, many people starting very early in the morning and lasting all day long. These people also used the vault toilets which smelled so bad I nearly vomited the first time I went in one. Each time someone opened the door the whole campground was filled with the foul odor coming from the toilets. And it wasn't even very warm when I was there. The people launching their boats at 5:30 in the morning, shouting directions to each other, and running their diesel engines for an extended period of time was an unwelcome wake up call.
I would highly recommend against staying at this campground. If I go back to Pictured Rocks I will use one of the privately run campgrounds in the area. It's a shame there are so many negative aspects to this campground. It was beautiful and could have been a pleasant and relaxing visit.
