Carp River Campground

Perfect setting, large site lots of space between sites.

The campground was clean and well taken care of as usual. We love it there!

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.

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.

Close to bridge.

One of the most peaceful tent camping experiences I’ve ever had. So quiet.

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.

lots of bugs, but i was prepared. the site was great and the whole campground was amazing.. great camp hosts. this is a campground in the woods, and on a river. plan accordingly.

Peaceful, quiet, serene.
Very clean and well kept grounds!
Campground host were exceptional.
Will be returning in the near future!

We stayed 2 nights at Carp River, in mid June. It was our first National Forrest campground. The campground was easy to locate. We reserved site #9 a few weeks in advance. It had a nice walk down to the river, fishing in mid June wasn't great, but we enjoyed it. Looking for the rustic experience while exploring St.Ignace. The camp hosts Mary & Joe where wonderful. Mary was more helpful and involved than any state park host I have encountered in the past. She had our site set up with our name plate, fire ring cleaned completely, and grass trimmed. She also gave us a disclaimer at check in about the severity of the mosquitos! Which where hellacious by the way. However, her suggestion about the mosquito face net from Ace was great advice! It was the only way to tolerate them. It was a great place if you're really looking to emerse yourself into nature, minimal neighbors, large rustic sites. Plenty of fallen dead firewood too.
