We decided to do a last minute kayak trip. We called and she has a group leaving in 20 minutes if we could make it. We arrived and everyone was friendly and welcoming!

Rented a cabin. Floors of the cabin are not clean, couch had dog hair on it, pillows smelled of dog, and water service smells terrible. The location on the river and trees are great. I would pick a hotel or other campground over Matson's. Place needs some maintenance. May be fine for tent camping or if you want to rough it, but not luxury for certain.

Great rustic campsite, my buddy had reserved for the weekend. Right across the drive from the river. Staff was incredibly friendly. And even made a suggested charter for my buddy to harvest some salmon.

Great campground on the Big Manistee River. We rented the lodge for a multi-family trip and it was perfect for our needs. Clean, comfortable, and a great location on the river. Owners are friendly, helpful, and were quick to respond both before we arrived and while we were onsite.

Components of a good campsite in descending order or importance: 1. Good size lots; 2. Clean restrooms; 3. Friendly hosts/campers; 4. Amenities; 5. Something special. Matsons has very small lots, clean restrooms; Friendly hosts but unfriendly campers; no amenities and an amazing river. Hence the rating. Good for boat based fisherman but not families. I'd advise the owners to drop a few lots and develop into more amenities.
