Very quiet campground with nice sites. We visited in early October and our lot was covered with a thick layer of leaves. A person from their staff came out with a rake to clean it up. Close to pictured rock, wagners falls, and miners falls.

This campground was only okay. The sites were not the best and when we went to do laundry. The washer and dryer’s were definitely old and needed to be replaced. Our clothes smelled when they came out of the washer. We used lots of dryer sheets to help get the smell out. I would definitely not camp there again

Location was great. Close to the Pictured Rocks tour and multiple waterfall hikes. Lots of trees and friendly campers. Note to the manager however; please invest in updating the bathroom and shower facilities. Gross shower curtains, and shower stalls so tiny you can hardly move. The toilets were okay clean wise. We traveled over four thousand miles out west and back to Mi and this was by far the least kept up KOA. Also, I realize it's early September, but walking by the disgusting green pool was just an indicator of the lack of care and upkeep of the property.

Our week at this KOA was good. The staff is bare minimum, so other than a little site checking after folks leave, you won't see anyone. If you are a class A with no other means of transportation, bring wood. They sell wood, but won't use their golf cart to deliver it to your site. They told me they have handles, meaning I could carry 6 bundles to my site. No thanks. Sites are very private and very wooded and quiet. There is no gravel, everything is dirt and or mud. Our site was one of the more narrow sites and had big roots across the walking area outside the RV. I wouldn't stay their again, and far less than the KOA's we usually experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at KOA Munising/Pictured Rocks! The campground was very clean and we loved that the campsites had some good separation with trees, or at least our tent site did. I saw other reviews complaining about the proximity of the highway and was fine with it at first, but it can be pretty loud, especially in the mornings. We could see the highway from our tent so it would be nice to be able to request a specific site rather than being assigned. The bathrooms were clean and nice for a campground restroom. The proximity to Munising and Pictured Rocks was excellent and made it very easy to get to all of our activities!
