Lovely hidden gem. We didn't camp just had a beach day with our two small children. Perfect beach and lake for them. You might want to wear swim shoes as the lake bed is scattered with rocks.

Well maintained and managed campground. Lots of sites on the water with electricity at 4 sites plus an RV dump station. There is also a fishing pier and a boat launch for the anglers.

What a great Campground! The only disappointment was that we didn't know they took reservations so it was hard to find a spot we could stay at for a prolonged period of time. The spots were reserved on different nights so we would have had to move a couple times if we wanted to stay for the whole week. I absolutely loved the little lake we got tons of fish with ease, the beach was nice, the bathrooms were clean (though not flushing which my five year old found pretty rough), and the sites were private and well-maintained. I loved the trails connecting each site along the Lake's Edge. They have a great fishing dock for kids and easy access to the water with kayaks. It was a smaller place, I think there were 30 sites or less, but the whole campground is beautiful, well wooded and offers a great place to stay in northern Michigan. It has a great central location as well so everything is within reach. We visited the iron mine, Picture Rocks and multiple waterfalls while camping here.

This is a good location, near the highway: the lake is very nice and the campground quite large (there are over 30 sites). I agree with some of foregoing posts: in the U.P. summer, weekends here tend to be busy. I found a lot of big campers (it's just off the highway) using generators and watching TV in the evening. Fairly large fishing boats. Fire pits with signs of yuppie campers: burnt plastic, some things not cleaned up.The highway run along one side of the campground so there is traffic noise, including trucks in the evening. On the + side, there is a nice beach and the trail that goes around the entire lake takes at most an hour and is excellent (I found no one on it, but a bench every 200 yrds). The best sites for nature lovers are the walk in sites 33 and 34 (I think those are the numbers, to the right of the dock when you enter the campground). You have to walk in 50-200 yrds but those are the best sites, furthest from the highway. $18 in August 2017. $16 for the hike-in sites. P.S. Don't burn plastic! And pick up whatever plastic you find wherever, whenever you walk. You'll thank the others who did that for you in the future.

This was the most beautiful campsite that I've ever stayed at. Our site was right on the lake and each of the lakeside sites have walkouts to the lake. We hiked the trail around the lake and the sunset was absolutely gorgeous. The sky is also extremely clear as there are no cities around and thus stargazing was wonderful. There's a lot of natural beauty here!

The campsites are well kept and each have a good amount of privacy with trees between sites and the trails. The ground is kind of hard and we had a difficult time getting stakes in the ground. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints. I will definitely return.

Great location in the middle of the U.P. We've stayed here for a couple of years in August and no one was loud. There are over 50 different waterfalls and rock formations, some only accessible by boat. The natural springs was worth the trip.The water in Lake Superior is so blue, you think you're in the Caribbean

Great place to stay, 20 minute drive to munising, campsites are spacious and outhouses are the cleanest I've ever seen. A terrific safe family environment.one tip of advice eating out is very pricey for family of four, breakfast averaged $50.00 in the area resteraunts.

The negative is the type of campers it seemed to attract. Mostly loud, partying, screaming drunks past midnight RV types, who totally IGNORE the quiet time hours. Idiots lighting the loud kinds of fireworks off half the night. Campground host never does anything about it. I was scared the drunks would forget to put out their fire, or throw a lit cigarette and we wake up to a forest fire. It's not like the usual rustic campground with the quiet tent campers. It's great if you remember to bring earplugs and maybe a white noise machine to drown out the noise of the screaming, loud drunks, with screaming, unruly children whos parents and grandparents love to blast Kid Rock and Ted Nugent well past midnight, without a thought or consideration for other campers. On the positive, erfect location if you plan to do a lot of day trips elsewhere. Its set perfectly between Munising and Lake Superior beaches to the North, and warm Lake Michigan to the South. It's a pretty campground, and has a small swimming lake and boat launch.
