Had a very nice site here. Lots of working people staying here, so lots of people leaving in the early morning hours. Very reasonable rates.
Sebastian Cole
Horrible place, cold showers, frogs, slugs insects and vermin in bathrooms, trash over filled, no trash pick up! Not mowed or tended to, no fire pits, super small cramped sites, I could go on for days better to park at Walmart

The sites are perfectly level, and they offer full hookups. The park is older and showing quite a bit of wear and tear. It is also across the street from a large prison. We used it as an incredibly cheap base to visit Sault Saint Marie. It was quiet and we didn’t have any problems. Also the pizza place in town right down the street from the RV park is pretty good.

Decent place to stay great price for visiting the eastern part of the upper peninsula. Now the bad part. You get what you pay for. Full hookups but 30 amps but don’t try to get more than 26-27 or you’ll pop the breaker or burn up your plug. Most are shared pedestals for electric so most need an extension. Water quality and pressure great. The host does not enforce any rules at all. There are people plugged into two sites, there is excessive speeding by the campers in the park. If you go try to get there by 4 o clock or wait till the next morning to check in with the host. Very unprofessional way to run a park.

I couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience staying here. I was passing through for the night and stopped in to see if any spots were available; I typically car camp so I didn’t need any hookups or plumbing. The Host was so accommodating and absolutely one of the kindest people I’ve met in a long time! She told me I am more than welcome to stay and the prices were absolutely affordable. I met another fellow camper, Carol, who told me I could stay on her lot with her and that she also car camped herself! She gave me some brochures on the north country trail, and we shared lots of stories. Very very nice community there!! The bathrooms and showers were clean, and the lots were well maintained. Thankful for everything and everyone I encountered on my spontaneous overnight stay :) thank you!!
