Lovely campground with nice widely-spaced sites, a nice path along the river with lots of benches, very clean bathrooms. Perfect for tent camping!

Nice campground tucked away in the UP - clean vault toilets and nice spacious campsites. Beautiful location with a nice little lake behind the sites. Plenty of mosquitoes so bring bug spray but a great spot to spend a night.

Widewaters camping was nothing short of a breath of absolute fresh air, and we couldn't have had such an amazing experience without the camp hosts Mike and Mary. We had an issue with our car door not shutting at our campsite and we thought the trip might have been ruined, but Mike sprung into action and figured out a solution for us fixing the door. Both Mike and Mary are excellent conversationists and just an absolute joy to be around. They turned a dark situation into a light one, and myself and my friends could not be more grateful for their dedication to providing an amazing experience for all campers.
Widewaters was BEAUTIFUL. We got extremely lucky with our campsite. It was extremely spacious with direct water access. We had camp number 9. Very close to bathrooms and fresh water spout as well as the lake. We were surrounded by a canopy of trees, and the campsite truly could not be more perfect.
Thank you so much to Widewaters Campground as well as Mike and Mary for providing such an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to be back!

Nice quiet campground. Sites were a little close to each other, but other than that every thing was great. Vault toilets very clean.

Campsites are right on top of one another, the entire campground is also pretty loud since the design of it points everyone at eachother

Well kept campground, hosts were friendly and made suggestions for sights to see. Site 17 didn’t have view of water but a short walk and you have your own spot on river to wade and relax. It was spacious, towards the end away from everyone, level and across from a new vault toilet. Easy to get to the campground and central to many day trips. Midway General Store is less than 10 minutes away and has everything you need, including pizza and ice cream. Owners are wonderful and definitely stop in!

The campground is laid out well with good privacy between sites. The campground hosts kept the bathrooms cleaned and supplied. There is so much to do here - kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking and just enjoying nature. We always enjoy our stay at Widewaters!

The campground and our site were clean and well kept. The facilities worked just as they should. Our site was level and had a good amount of privacy. While we were there the campground was very quiet and peaceful and the other campers were friendly and respectful.
