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.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay, the sites were large and mostly secluded. The outhouses have to be the cleanest we have ever seen. The only complaint we had was the people running generators. We would highly recommend this park.

A quiet, remote and beautiful place in the Hiawatha National Forest with large campsites. Easy to get to, and within about 20 minutes of Munising. Plenty of things to do in the area, including hiking, fishing, boating, etc., and within driving distance of many natural wonders - Pictured Rocks Lakeshore, waterfalls, etc.

Best campsite EVER! I love the privacy, the abundance of nature, the safe feeling it provides, and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. We have gone to this camp for two years now and it is our favorite spot. It's intimate but also has a community aspect to it. Great price too! It also has great nature paths to explore. Enjoy your visit.

What a beautiful campground. The sites were private with beautiful views and Your outhouses were cleaner than any public or private campground bathrooms we have ever been to. What a treat to spend a few nights there.

Nice campground but no rangers to enforce quiet hours. Had some very loud and rude neighbors.

This was a quiet, clean campground. It is very close to Munising and all that Picture Rocks has to offer. The Indian River was posted as cleared, but it really was not. Many, many trees down.
