When we first arrived at the Pokegama Dam and circled the campground out space was still occupied. So we drove out and I went into the office where I met with several helpful females in the office! They were very helpful and actually mention we could stay a day longer than I had originally scheduled.
Nice park! Large spaces! Dump site!

Not a great place to tent camp. I had a "walk in" site. I think there are only 2 of these here. I saw that it was near a highway in advance so I did not expect a super peaceful secluded tent camping experience. I did not realize that these 2 sites are just yards from an active railroad! I can sleep through highway noise, but no one would be able to sleep through that train! Thankfully it only went by about 10:30 pm and 1:30 am . RV camping is probably fine and I think less close to the tracks. The campground itself seemed well maintained, the bathroom was always super clean, and there are some nice little hiking trails on the other side of the dam. It would be cool if they could get a few walk in sites over on that side.

Was there during the horrible storm. Hid in the bathrooms which wasn’t bad because they were really clean! Clean up happened quickly and power was back on that night!

Nice little park right by the dam. Close to Grand Rapids for shopping, etc.

Absolutely do not book this camp site if you are tent camping. The two tent sites are about 50ft from the main highway and even less to train tracks. The parking lot is right next to campsite 20. When I arrived to camp site 20, there were people sitting at the site's picnic table and all of the parking spots infront of the camping spot, were taken. In order to get to site 21, you have to walk through site 20, there is no privacy. The water public access is right next to site 20 so be prepared for ALOT of traffic. The bathrooms are on the other side of the facility. I was so disappointed with this site, we ended up leaving after only being there for a short period of time.
I love tent camping and really wish campgrounds put more effort into primitive camp sites as much as they do RV sites.
