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.

Great place to get away and do some fishing. It sits right on the Manistee River. Great fall salmon fishing and steelhead throughout the fall and winter. The cabins are a little outdated but acceptable. It's a one of a kind experience. One of the only places that you can camp along the river. They offer tent camping, rv camping and cabins. The town of Manistee has a nice beach and lighthouse pier right on Lake Michigan. Lots of interesting places in the area and some pretty decent food in town.

Loved our experience! Great location for kayaking on the Big Manistee River. Cheryl and her staff were super to work with setting everything up for our event with 8 people. We had 2 RVs and a cabin for our group, 1 person had their own kayak, and they accommodated our group without a hitch and always a smile! We had a great time! Thank you!
