We tent camped on the electric side. The sites are all gravel (vs. paved) and many don’t have a flat grass space big enough for a tent. We lucked out with our site. It’s an easy walk to the lodge, visitor center, and trails. Shower house is heated. Loved that it very birdy, especially in the morning and evening. Owls, eagles, woodpeckers. No camp store and didn’t see anything in the nearest town. Wood from the camp host burned good though.

Good place to camp. Plenty of outside stuff to do and reasonable rates. It may be a little primitive for some, but it's a typical state park type of campground. Decent shower house but, not fancy at all. Dump station and community water spigots so it is a little bit like boondocking. There are electric hookups on the lots and most of the lots are pretty level.

The park was hit pretty good after the last storm, but they got it cleaned up well for our 1st camping trip of the season. All the park staff were very nice that we encountered. If they had sewer hook-ups at the stations, it would have been perfect! I think we will be back for sure tho.

Scott the campground host does a great job, the campground is very nice with lots of mature trees. I wish that they had water run to each site. You will need to bring extra hose if you intend to fill your tanks while here.

We love Pere Marquette Campground! Nice sites and most are fairly level. We enjoy the surrounding area with the beautiful views. We did not use the bathhouse but our friends did and said the showers were not great.

never across the entire country have stayed at any campground where the owner/operators were more offensive people. the best way to describe them would be bullies, both the wife and husband oddley. a friend of ours whos daughter leases a spot year around and told us to use their pad which is next to their best friends place. i pulled in as their friends are also my friends just for a night, and a few hours later the [owner] wife came storming over without asking any questions making loud mean references in front of everyone including other campers and their kids, emotions were completly inappropiate and out of controll, im assuming she and her husband were intoxicated as i cannot think anyone acts that way sober. they had the gull to force us to pay for a spot and are collecting from the friends who told us it was ok, yearly lease people as well, pretty crooked and extremely emotionally out of controll. words are not enough, perhaps there in over their head finically but bullying people with blackmail tactics will only make it worse with experiences like this.
