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.

We very much enjoyed our visit to wide waters. The campground was very well maintained. Bathrooms aka outhouses were very clean as was the whole campground. Camp host was very informative as regards fire wood and other important thongs we needed for camping.
This trip and camp ground made our vacation very relaxing. Thank you we will be back.

This is a wonderful campground in a natural rustic setting along the Indian River. Excellent kayaking opportunities in pristine waters. Very clean campground and outhouses. Most of the sites are heavily shaded and very large. The hosts were very helpful working with us to get our reservation changed in the middle of our stay.

Worst experience ever, camp host was rude, our reserve sign on our site kept getting switched to open every time we would leave.

Beautiful camping. The lake and river were amazing. Easy access to hiking/biking trail. Reasonably close to Picyure Rocks. A full service camp store with wifi was 5 minutes north. Very clean pit latrines. A very minor annoyance, some cars drove down the road in the middle of the night. Next time for an even more serene stay I'll stay on the lake side.

We really enjoyed this campground, nice level sites and we felt like we were not on top of other campers. Quiet, off the road, a 20 ish minute drive to Munising but bring your bug spray mosquitos were hungry!! Bring your bikes if you are a mountain biker there is trail access right at camp. We wished we had brought our kayaks to enjoy the lake right at camp. As adults with no children we did appreciate that it felt like and adult campground. Vault toilets were cleaned daily and the camp host had firewood available for purchase. Small store 5 minutes down the road for anything you may have forgotten.
