Nice and secluded -- ZERO cell service, thank god!! -- but sleeping was cold as hell. Not the fault of the site, just the weather in the UP in October.

I could not find this location. The GPS coordinates took me into the town of Manstique to a completely different campground. Once I found the written directions on how to find it, I had no service within the forest (no huge surprise there of course), but none of the roads were marked once I got onto the gravel backroads. It was definitely very frustrating as I had to throw away my reservation here & shell out for a hotel. Very disappointed.
