Stayed threw the winter months they did a great job keeping the facilities open even in the cold months and the water unfrozen staff was super helpful

Self check in type of campground witch is pretty nice. RV sites are very easy to find and get to. great prices as long as you stay less then four days anything over four days they will charge you for electric. all in all this campground was pretty nice to stay at.

Self check in was easy peasy I loved it. The site was perfect for what I needed. Just a small pine tree was sort of in the way couldn’t back up far enough to make connection to water easy. Had to stretch hose. The campground was peaceful and relaxing. I would definitely love to come back.

Beautiful campground with full hookups available. Nice sites with lots of trees for hammocks and shade. Perfect area close to Higgins Lake and South Branch of the AuSable River. We stayed 3 weeks and got a weekly rate. We really enjoyed ourselves with our kayaks on the lakes and rivers nearby.

Edit: This review is updated due to the owner being accusatory of myself being intoxicated. I would like to point out that the owner does not even stay near the campground, but we had this discussion over the phone while he was in New Jersey. Therefore he was unable to even see/speak with me in person. Yes, I am guilty of saying one cuss word to the owner (not his staff) I actually feel terrible for Maggie- the lovely lady who had to clean up Ben’s mess. Please be wary of any owner that throws out false accusations to try and cover their butts (I’ll keep it PG). Not a good look. The owner does not need to agree with this review, but I have stated only facts with the exception of my opinion that I stated at the end of my review. Really, though, the campground itself looked lovely. Just want you to know what you’re getting yourselves into if you book. No one wants to turn up to someone else in their reserved space. ————————————————————— I've been reading some reviews and noticed that the owner has responded to negative feedback by claiming the campground is now under new management. However, let me tell you—this new management is precisely why I will not be returning to Northern Nights. Although the campground itself looked lovely, I never got the chance to experience it. During a long road trip with my family, we had booked a night at Northern Nights, only to arrive and discover that our space had been double-booked. Ben, the owner, chose to accommodate a "repeat customer" who was staying for more nights, leaving us without our reserved spot. Ben's managerial skills are lacking, and his customer service is even worse. While he did book us a room at a low-rate motel—a far cry from the beautiful summer night we had hoped for at the campground—this inconvenience meant that our family was split up into separate rooms instead of enjoying time together. To add insult to injury, he refused to offer a refund for our reservation, despite another family occupying the spot and paying for it. When we suggested that this was insufficient compensation and requested a refund, he laughed and said, "You're not going to be making a profit off of this." I have to agree with a previous reviewer: Ben seems more interested in prioritizing those who will generate more income for him than in providing good service to all customers.

Don’t bother trying to stay here in the winter. She was extremely rude as we tried to find a place last minute due to issues with our property. He was great but it was too late. We called and left a message looking for a campground, instead of waiting we drove in to check it out. You must follow her process!!

Stayed recently with a small motorhome. This is a valuable option in an area without a lot of options. + Quiet and peaceful + Great location near many things to do + Clean bathroom/showers + Friendly staff - Sites are small and non-level - No vegetation between sites - Dump is on wrong side and non-level

This was a 2 week stay visiting family in the area. Showers were clean and open. The sites were not level but well spaced. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We would stay there again when we are in the area. 5 stars would of been for level sites and full hook up.

Not big-rig friendly (44’), but we made it in with someone holding the electric wire up so we wouldn’t take out the pole with our AC units. Super helpful & friendly management. LOVED the woods nextdoor for hikes with the dogs. Peaceful, quiet, but tiny, tight lots. ❤️No issues with breed restrictions for dogs❤️. Dump station on wrong side & uphill when dumping.
