Carp River Campground

A beautiful campground with big well wooded sites.

Hidden gem, nice camp ground: small, and isolated spaces, providing more privacy for each site. Water and pit toilets, not the worst facilities I’ve encountered while camping, but unfortunately the campground staff didn’t make an effort to clean or replenish toilet paper or sanitizer on a consistent basis. I intermittently saw the campground host making rounds but had not direct interaction with him. No firewood is sold at this location. In spite of the cleanliness of the restrooms, I would still recommend this campground, due to its proximity to St.-Ignace, expressway and camp ground layout.

Beautiful campground! Some sites are right on the river.

Campground hosts were very rude and their site appeared as though I was coming to stay at a trailer park. Made the whole place look very run down, had 2 trailers parked there and at least 4 cars at one point. I enjoy camping at campgrounds, but it felt like coming to stay in someone’s personal yard- especially with the way they acted. We have stayed here many times but it just keeps getting worse and worse.

Great

It's a quiet, well-maintained campground located close St. Ignace and lots of other attractions in the area, like Les Cheneux islands where we kayaked, or the "Narnia" that doesn't seem to be on any map but all the locals tell you about. Spent two nights there, will come back next year.

Sites very clean. Toilets vwere VERY well maintained. 4G from Verizon throughout.

Not to easy to access river with kids, very close but steepish.

Would definitely go back.

Private sites, good spacing between them. Clean area and pit toilet was clean as well. Convenient water stations, water tasted great. Camp host Randy is a good worker and reps an eye on things well. There is a free dump station about 10 minutes away as the Casino outside of St. Ignacio.
Looking forward to another stay here.

Beautiful campground. Spacious, wooded, quiet, private sites, plenty of space between you and your neighbors. We were in Site 9 and it was gorgeous. Easy access to drinking water.

We chose a site along the Carp River, but there wasn’t really easy access to the water. We didn’t bring the kayaks this trip, so we were ok with that, but don’t plan on putting in the river from the campground.

The biggest negative was the pit toilets. We were in the middle of the campground, and the only toilets were quite a walk to either end of the campground. That was easy enough to get over, but the stench of the toilets was just too much. We rustic camp. A lot. I’ve been in hundreds of pit toilets, and NEVER have I smelled one as disgusting as these were. They appeared clean, but the smell was overwhelming.

Just one more comment, neither positive nor negative, just left us with a bad taste. The people camping one site down and across the road stopped by our site as they were leaving and said they left quite a lot of wood for the next campers, and we were welcome to it. Within 15 minutes after they left, the camp hosts rolled up in their golf cart with a trailer and scooped up all the wood that they had left behind for the next campers. It just didn’t sit right.
