Carp River Campground

Our overall impression was disappointing. Although the campsites were private and well-designed for dispersed camping, the Carp River itself is a rather ugly brown due to the tannins in the water. It's not very scenic, after experiencing the lovely greens and blues of the Great Lakes. It is, however, a great place for mosquitoes, who were quite aggressive.

The other downside to the campsite was that there aren't any trailheads or unique features to make your stay something to write home about. It's also within hearing distance of the Interstate, not that it was loud, but it was there. It wasn't a horrible experience, but it wasn't that great, either. Perhaps it is good fishing (?), but it was not what we were hoping for.

Clean and very quiet. The camp host was very nice and helpful.

Nice enough and clean campground. But they were out of campfire wood and it was not clearly stated that you really could not access the river from the camp sites. Once you get down to it, there is a steep drop off that would be a struggle for most to get back up. If they make it down safely at that.

It was quiet for being close to a highway. Carp river was too shallow at spots to kayak, but it was July and we knew the water would be low. Still fun though, had to carry the kayaks over some downed trees too.

Easy in and out, easy to find and clean and well kept campground.

We love staying at this campground. The host came around and was very friendly and the bugs weren’t even that bad!

Would have rated higher but all of the generators.

We had a fantastic time tent camping on site 10. Bathrooms were to be expected and I'm thankful for them. It was a joy seeing the camp host driving around, he waved to us as he passed. Campground is very well kept.
I would 100% stay there again!

Arrived August 12th ‘21 slipped right into our #10 camp sight found to be clean well kept.
Fire pit dinning table all in great condition. Location close to river which had the access to the river been better we would have been able to launch our kayaks but as the grade we to steep we did not use them.

Very surprised that the mosquitoes and ticks were very much nonexistent so we enjoyed both dinner and later fireside S’more’s not having done bug spray. Late night great time.

Highly recommend this camp sight as it also was close to fly fishing spots along old logging roads.

The campground was very clean. Outhouses kept clean and stocked. Host/Hostess friendly.
As with other rustic campgrounds I’ve camped, the 10pm quiet hour was not adhered to. I would attempt to camp here again despite that because of the location and cleanliness of the campground.
