This is an exceptionally nice campground. The sites are huge, wooded and private. There is a lake and hiking trail at the campground. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Firewood is available from the friendly resident campground host.

Very nice campsites with good separation. Lovely swimmable lake and an incredible hiking trail up to a stunning lookout point. Pit toilets but clean and well maintained. Easy drive to area features such as Whitefish Point and Sault Ste. Marie.
