What a beautiful little campground! Quiet, secluded, with a lovely trail down to the lake. It was a little bit of a trick to find it, because the sign pointing to the drive-in is missing. Look for the outhouse! I would stay here again.

Very nice campsite. The sites were extremely close to each other but no one was there besides the first night. Definitely have mosquitoes at this location but bug spray, candles, fire and we had a screened in gazebo definitely helped. Sites 4 was on a slope but it seemed like the rest had flat spots for a tent. We were able to make site 4 work even with the slope because it was one of the larger sites.

It was quiet. We did have neighbors. All sites were filled but site 1 was far enough away to not get much noise. The directions are a little off, use the directions provided until you see the sign for the little bass camp sites. Sites 2 and 3 do lead directly out to the lake. There was plenty firewood around because we couldn’t bring any outside wood into the site. There is a picnic table and a fire pit at each of the sites.

No water pump & no toilet paper the whole time we were there. Great campground.

Excellent site overlooking the lake. Drive back was not bad at all with a small camper. AT&T cell coverage was there with only about 1 to 2 bars but was useable. Toilet was clean and well kept. Mosquitos were abundant but bug spray kept them at bay. lake quality was excellent with crystal clear water.

Great campsite! Bathroom was clean and camp site area was nice and open. Cell service on the at&t network was good. Only recommendations would be to bring bug spray as the mosquitos were bad at times without a campfire going.

We loved how small & remote this campground was. This site was private and had a short walking path to the lake. Unfortunately, the lake was not easily accessible due to vegetation.

Highly recommend seeing "Big Springs" and visiting Pictured Rocks. We took the boat cruise from Munsing, a must do!

Beautiful, serene, location on little bass lake! Site 4 is best suited for a smaller tent (we had a 4 person) or camper due to a slight grading of the site. Sites 4 and 5 are pretty close, but we had reserved 4 and 5 together so this wasn't an issue for us. Hardly any bugs the entire week, the toilet facility was kept clean, and the neighbors were respectful. The location to munising, manistique, seney, and local trails within the Hiawatha national Forest was perfect. This is definitely the rustic camping experience we were looking for and can't wait to come back next year!

Perfect spot!! Love that they have updated the firepit and added a grate to it. Camp grounds are pretty secluded. Outhouse is clean. The only down fall is there is no where to get rid of your trash (please add some bear proff garbage cans. Can't wait to book for next year!

Nice lake, nice sites, nice fire rings, but the outhouse could use some TLC. Lots of wasps in our site, but that could just be the time of year.
