Owners and staff are some of the nicest campground staff that we have ever encountered. We had a great time and are planning to return soon, six out of five stars.
River was great quality. Utilities were clean. Overall a wonderful experience.
Very nice place. Lots of trees. An amazing river view. Sites are kinda small, but doable. Atmosphere is fun!
Great, great time! We actually went twice this week because it is so much fun and relaxing! Awesome owners and staff! Make this your go to place for river trips.
We reserved an electric tent site for four people a couple months ago and were told that almost all the river side sites were open. When we arrived someone was parked on our site. Our site was downhill and made for an inclined sleep. We would have rather been in a flatter site.
The TP was mostly friendly and accommodating. The drop off for kayaking was on time and easy to follow directions. The 13 mile trip was amazing with only two Portage spots. Quite a bit of trash was in the river from people who lost beer cans or flip flops mostly. Sad to see such a beautiful river being destroyed by irresponsible vacationers.
It would be nice if someone kept up with all the fallen trees and moved them out of the river.
As for the Trading Post, my biggest recommendation is having more than 2 showers and more than two bathrooms for such a large amount of people that you can accommodate. Not everyone wants to use port o potties.
Very nice campground. Canoe trips were fun and relaxing.
Great folks. Excellent service. Competitive prices. We'll be repeat customers.
My 2nd time camping/canoeing here and it's been a great experience each time! People are very friendly and everyone is out there to have fun. Can get a little loud sometimes at night, but most groups seem to keep to themselves and are respectful of other campers.
Overall, if you're looking to have some drinks and do some tailgate type camping - this place is for you! If you're looking for a quiet getaway and don't want to be bothered by other people, I'd suggest finding another campground - the sites are tightly packed and there are people drinking all day/night.
Last thing to note, canoeing is great! Done the 13 and 16 mile trips, there's some minor obstructions like trees and sandbars, but nothing an experienced canoe/kayaker couldn't handle.
There are only two registers going. One for walk in appointments and the other for reservations. If you don't have a reservation, go an hour early to beat the lines. Otherwise it is a great time. Highly recommend the kayaks.
I've camped all over Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. The Trading Post is my favorite campground hands down. We've camped/fished/kayaked early and late in the season and this place is always well kept and inviting. The owners and staff are all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. If I could give it more stars I would.
