Awesome Place, everything very convenient, big town not far away, swimming and fishing. Very clean and well kept.
Amy Lake
Great campground but ... Had to check in whenever I would leave and come back, yes I understand its for security purposes but give mirror tags so people didn't have to stop Everytime they left. And if we had any visitors they were charged $5 each to visit!!! Like what? We were visiting family hours away and they had to pay the campground to come see us. Will never go again.
Ann Kozak
Great little campground! We needed a one-night stay and they welcomed us with open arms! Actually, they were having a campground potluck and immediately invited us to join them, even though we had nothing to contribute. Such friendly people. Hot showers, laundry, clean bathrooms. Cash only-$32.00 a night!
Roger Smith
Helpful and friendly staff. Very quiet despite being near the highway. We would stay there again. It was a nice "base camp" for visiting the Soo.
Nichole Simmons
Great location. Fire wood (dry and burns) ice, and ice cream sold on site. Swimming and fishing were great! Lots of play structures for kids. Camp operators were very friendly. Electric sites, clean bath house, washers and dryers on site. Quite park.
