Magnus Park Campground

We had a great stay. We stayed 4 nights/5 days. We never experienced the bad smells from the sewage treatment plant, but perhaps it is worse during certain times.

We were there mostly to bike the Wheelway. The trail goes right through camp which was very convenient. We would come again.

We did a brief drive from Charlevoix to Magnus Park to look for Petoskey stones. It was late in the day so didn’t have much time to look. We did find a few Petoskey and Charlevoix stones. Always a fun little adventure. Would love to camp here some time!

We have mixed peelings about the park. It is right next to a water treatment facility! I don’t think I saw that in the original listing, but it was not really a problem just occasionally could smell the sewage. The view was incredibly beautiful of the sunset. Bathrooms and shower were very clean. Nothing to do with the ratings, but had a group of people behind us that was very inconsiderate. I don’t know why people think that they are entitled to the entire park just because they rent one lot lol. First thing in the morning, had to yell at some lady because she was letting her dog pee on our electrical hook up to the pedestal.🤔 some people I tell ya

Google mentioned Magnus Park was a good spot to find Petoskey stones. Just a short distance from the Waterfall Area, I decided to try my luck. Nope! It was fun though, getting my feet wet and talking to strangers. 😉

I went just to rock hunt, so I can’t speak to the campground. The beach is beautiful, and it is the best beach I’ve ever been to for Petoskey rock hunting. I usually find at least a dozen Petoskey stones each time I visit, and I’ve also found Charlevoix stones, horn coral, fan coral, and much more.
