What Guests Are Saying
Carp River Campground is a beautiful, rustic site near St. Ignace, offering a peaceful and private camping experience with well-maintained facilities and large, wooded sites. The campground's location is convenient for exploring attractions in the eastern UP, and it provides a serene atmosphere away from busier parks. While there are some issues with restroom maintenance and mosquito presence, the overall ambiance and cleanliness make it a hidden gem worth visiting.

Very pretty rustic campground along the Carp River near St Ignace. Convenient to that area and surrounding attractions. There is a campground host employed by the concessionaire. Everything appeared well maintained, vault toilets but clean and good condition. Was not busy during our stay and might be a good alternative to other busier modern campgrounds in the area like Straits State Park if you don't need hookups.

Location was great for exploring the eastern UP. My site was very private and roomy. The vault toilets were very clean and not smelly. Host was helpful.

Peaceful and quiet. Lots of trees and tree cover. Sites are not on top of each other, they have forest in between many of the sites. The mosquitos are relentless in this area of the U.P. so come prepared.

Beautiful sites, close to ferry and Soo Locks. Easy drive to whitefish point. No water at campsite, but water and dump station at casino, about 7 miles south on same road. Drive through the RV parking toward stadium seating.
