A great place to take the family. Camping is always great. My family loves the beach and the walk path. You have to be careful with the bathroom at the boat launch. The door often gets stuck.

Paved CG with paved pull thru large sites. Clean updated vault restrooms. Camp host. Near-by Au Sable river.

Too much trash, plastic bags, pop & beer cans, etc. Many burn pits with unburnable garbage in em. Obviously it is not taken care of, even weekly, by whomever is supposed to. Too bad people clean up after themselves also.

This state forest campground is very secluded in the middle of nowhere. Barton City is very nice and is really the only town in the area. All of the other little towns that are remotely close to Barton city are indeed very small just as Barton City (population of 548 people) is. With that said, Harrisville, which borders Lake Huron, is about 20 minutes away. The campground is very nice if you enjoy your privacy. The sites are very spacious. I went in the middle of July and the campground was like 1/10th full. It is a very quiet place, since the place does not fill up often. Jewel Lake is quite pretty as well. More often than not, it seems as if that you could probably have the lake to yourself. I would assume that locals do come here when the weather very hot. But generally speaking, the beach doesn't seem to fill up. Overall, this is a campground that not too many people know about and that may be for the better.

Make sure you stake out the good sites. You may get sniped.

Really enjoyed ourselves. Adorable little lake. Nice Sandy Beach. Primitive camping but each site has a fire pit with a folding grill. The vault toilets got pretty rank in the heat but later in the evening as it cooled down they didn't smell quite as bad. Overall nice campground
