Love this place. Would book again any day if we could get a reservation. Trash wasn’t picked up the entire time we were there and it was overflowing into the street from day 1. I don’t know why it was closed for so long and is in worse shape than 5 years ago. Either way it’s rustic and on the lake wish there were 10 more just like it. Weekend booking rules make it hard to plan a trip for a week. We always have to change sites 3 times to stay a week and half the sites are reserved and NO ONE IS THERE. The entire UP is booked and no one shows!

Bay View needs a camp host, the bathrooms weren't as well kept as previous years. In general it didn't feel as safe as when a camp host is there.
