What Guests Are Saying
Widewaters Campground is a well-maintained and peaceful location, conveniently situated near attractions like Munising and Pictured Rocks. Campers appreciated the spacious sites, clean bathrooms, and friendly hosts, Mike and Mary, who enhanced the overall experience. While some noted noise from generators and limited water availability, the majority found it to be a beautiful spot for camping with plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy.

This was a great backwoods campground. We were at spot 12 not too far from toilets. There are quite a few hole toilets throughout. You can see your neighbors but there are woods inbetween so it isn’t bad at all. The campsite has a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill top & a hook to hang garbage.
The facilities includes:
A camp host
Drinking water area around site 9 & 10
Many bathrooms throughout
1 dumpster
Firewood in town & from the camp host are both $9 a bundle.
There is a Circle K 12 mins north on H13. The campground has no service. There is a little pond that was nice. Overall it was a great spot to be out in the woods but close to things. 22 mins from pictured rocks, 42 from the big spring.
The second night we did have a bear come on the campsite, walking around, sniffing then walking away. We had our food in the car so we had no issues.
Either way, I’d definitely stay here again it was a really good experience!

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!
