The location and campground is beautiful. Loved our campsite (#4) at Little Beaver. Potable water at the campground and well-kept pit toilet. There's a very steep hill on the road going in. Great hikes all through the park and we took one to the lake directly from the campground. The coast, beach area, and park upkeep was great. The big BUT was that the mosquitos were oppressive here. (Early June). We thankfully brought a lot of bug gear - head nets, hammock nets, and sprays, but even with those we didn't stay the last night of our booking. It may be worth checking the radar, and if wind is above 5mph they'll be less of a problem. We took advantage of our extra time by going into Munising for a Glass Bottom Shipwreck tour, highly recommend. Will come back!

We have done a lot of camping in the past and this site was by far the worst! As soon as we got out of the vehicle we were swarmed by mosquitoes! We tried everything from bug spray, to smoke them out, to different types of repellent and they were relentless! We couldn’t even sit by the fire and enjoy ourselves! Had to go in the tent at 6pm just to prevent from being swarmed! We ended up packing up a day early and leaving because you simply couldn’t even sit outside without being swarmed and bit! I was so sad as it seemed it was a lovely and quiet spot, however, it is not somewhere I would ever recommend or stay at again

This campground is not treated like a wilderness area. 4 or 5 campsites were occupied by a school group with 20 kids running and screaming through everyone's campsites. They also strung up a huge platform between all the trees for the kids to jump on and probably damaged the trees. The campsites are also super small and close together so there's no privacy and you're surrounded by campfire smoke no matter the wind. One of the camper trailers also left an alarm going off all day until they got back at 9pm. There's no oversight and I never saw a campground host or park ranger in the whole time I was there. By far the noisiest, cramped campground I've ever stayed at. Don't expect to enjoy nature here.

It is a nice little campground, directly on the water of Little Beaver Lake. There are pit toilets and potable water, but no sinks, just as they are listed on the site. I do wish the water station had a bit better signage, since it is across the campground from the latrines. I missed it before starting some backcountry camping. The amenities of the campground are sparse, but well-maintained. It is definitely a no-frills campground and quite rustic, but a beautiful site.
