Nice campground!

Nice campground!

The campground was absolutely beautiful and quiet, the campsites have a pleasant amount of distance from each-other (unlike most state campgrounds that have sites one next to another). Monocle lake was an absolute spectacle to have in the campground, I recommend going stargazing on the lake-shore as most of the campground is very wooded and the canopy does not allow for much of the sky view from the campsites and for sunlight during the day.
It is nicely situated near a lighthouse and Lake Superior (access can be difficult as much of the shoreline is private property, but there are public roads that do lead to the shore, just be careful to not trespass). Tahquamenon Falls is an easy 45 minute drive away from the campground, on the way there are a couple towns (Paradise is a good one) you can stop at to refuel and resupply.

Pet friendly!

The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful:)

Only complaint was that it was nice to have a water spout to get water from, but the water was very distasteful, tasted like the smell of oil/gasoline.
