Nice camping space with clean vault toilets. It was a pretty location too!

It was a fine campground but they had no water, with no warning on their website, and expected us to drive 5-10 minutes to another campground to get water. I was supposed to have a site right next to the water spout but instead had to drive…

This is a very nice campground. It has drinking water to fill your tanks and a dump station. The sites are nicely spaced, are paved and most of them are shaded.

We had a spot that was along the river and it was beautiful! This was our favorite camping spot on our trip. The only issue we had was that there was an issue with water so we had to go to a different campground to get water. We have US Cellular and had service the whole time at the campground, outside of the campground was spotty

Quiet campground with adequate privacy between sites. Bathrooms were always clean and never smelled terrible. Nice location not too far from Munising.

The host did a fantastic job of keeping the toilets clean and was very helpful with information about the area. The only negative from our week stay was one family that did not stop their dog from yapping all day long. They were quiet during quiet times but the barking was very frustrating.

Clean vault toilets. Nice place for hiking and canoe/kayak. Hosts do a great job. The addition of cell phone access during the summer is a real bonus.
