I am always impressed with Core of Engineers Campgrounds. The sites are always kept neat and clean with tables, fire pits and most of the time grills. The personnel are very friendly and commit 100% to your needs. Johnson Creek campground was no exception, they were awesome. Luckily we went in the winter months and was able to get close to the restrooms, being handicapped walking far is a challenge. They should have handicapped designated close to the bathroom for that purpose. I noticed a lot of very big trailer and motor homes that are equipped with necessities that took up the close sites and didn't use the restrooms like we did or at all. Other than that, the property of C.O.E. especially close to water are so beautiful you just want to sit outside and enjoy! We are from a rural town in northern Michigan and that's important to us.
