Plenty of room for Fall camping, we got pick of dozens of nice sites. We appreciated the late check in flexibility, and opening the office early the next morning to take care of us, as were 1 of just a few campers in late October. Great location on River, 5 min from downtown, a few minutes from Casino. we'll be back

I was there late October so staffing was not what it would be during regular camping season. With that, my cabin was not clean or ready for us. They did put us in another cabin that was. The bathrooms were not cleaned the couple days we were there. Housekeeping was the only issue we had. Staff were very polite and courteous and took care of any issues we brought to them right away. Hopefully the housekeeping issue was due to out of season, but is addressed. I will give them another try as overall I was pleased with my stay.

My brother and I stayed here for nine days for the fall salmon run. This place is great. I have been coming up here every fall for the past 20 years and since Jay zee bought the place it has improved greatly. The restrooms are always clean, and the showers are free now, and the water is always hot. They have a great selection of fishing tackle, an awesome fish cleaning station and Aiden is very knowledgeable about fishing techniques. John from The WI Fi guys was very helpful to us with getting our tv going which I know nothing about. I highly reccomend Manistee Rv resort weather you are on a fishing trip or just want to relax.

The trailer we stayed in was really nice. I would stay there again, especially for a fishing. Everything you need is right there as far as fishing goes. They have a well stocked tackle shop and a convenience store, boat launch, and slips you can keep your boat in for a very reasonable price.

Relaxing atmosphere. Clean facilities. Family friendly. Nice beach and play area for the kids. The store is fully stocked with camping supplies and fishing tackle. One downside is the fish cleaning area could use some improvement. Also, fire pits are non-moveable and can be in a bad location on the site
