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.

Beautiful area and pleasant campsite. Had very few bugs, which was appreciated. We did have difficulty finding the campsite because Google Maps tried to take us on a road that was just two tire tracks in the middle of a forest and then preceded to lose connection. Once we found it, though, it was lovely. A little chilly in early September and the bathrooms don't have lights, but otherwise a worthwhile stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The sites were well spaced out and surrounded by forest. Toilets and water were easily accessible. Firewood for sale. A 20 minute drive to the western end of Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore.

Campground was very well maintained and the campsites are surrounded by lots of trees so they feel very private. Also if you do not have something to cut up downed wood for a fire they sell firewood at one of the sites by the campground entrance.

Wonderfully clean and quiet. Space between sites and ours had a personal pathway to the river.

I love this little campground. Quiet and tucked away with access to the Indian River and the chain of lakes. It also sits on one of the best biking trails in the UP.
