Stayed here mid September, for the last week this campground was open. Camp Hosts very friendly and accommodating, made sure we knew what we needed to know, and had what we needed for camp. Our site was large, and very well kept, enabling us to place our gear (and pups) comfortably. Used the week to hike several surrounding areas, and got to play in Lake Huron a bit. Water spickets were pressurized and the bathrooms were clean and pleasant. This is our 'go to' campground for this area when we are depending on having a reservation. The reservation process was painless (although the fees are creeping up), and the site was ready for us (didn't have to worry if someone else would be on it or not, which has happened at other locations). This is an awesome campground, quiet and serene, just a few minutes from supplies in St Ignace, and even less distance from locals selling campfire wood.
