Northland Outfitters Campground & Canoe / Kayak Livery

Debbie Hafner

Never have a met the greatest people here at Northland Outfitters. My husband had a medical emergency after parking out 5th wheel there for the night. He ended up being life flighted out to U of M, leaving me with the camper here at campground. I had to find a company to tow the camper home and the owners of the park wouldn't let me pay a thing for extra time camper was parked there, the owner also helped me to get the camper ready for transport to Ohio. There compassion was very much appreciated, please stay here if you get a chance, great family campground, and bonus was Benny the wood sculpture. My family will never forget the help they gave me through this difficult time.

My wife and I recently rented a kayak at Northland Outfitters. We found the staff there exceedingly friendly and helpful. They know the best stretches of river to explore, including spot-on tips reflecting current conditions of weather and flow. Their equipment is well maintained, their prices more than reasonable, and the owners are wonderfully flexible in their scheduling, even opening early to accommodate our travel schedule. Viewing Benny the Beardfisher was a delightful bonus!

We love it here! We have been visited mtg for 3 years and staying in the cabins for the last 2. The property, cabins, and bathrooms are always very clean and you can tell are well cared for. The setting is very scenic. The owners are on the premises and super sweet people. They have put a lot of love into this place. This year we finally did a float down the river through their livery and it was probably the best part of our trip. 20/10 we will be back!

The best place in the world! Absolutely loved our cabin! We’ve stayed two times and plan on coming back more! We went kayaking this time, we wish we did the longer trip it was so much fun! The owners are very kind and pleasant people who are very helpful and accommodating. Absolutely love Benny the Beardfisher!

Long overdue! We stayed two nights about 3 weeks ago and had such an incredible experience. The owners and staff are so dedicated and passionate about the campground and every detail that comes with it. They truly treat you so well and will do anything to make your stay an enjoyable one. Laid back, quiet, private and clean (bathhouses included!) We stayed two nights in the P4 cabin — super cozy, clean and nice! The general store is awesome with plenty of essentials, local art and swag! We kayaked the Ten Curves route on the Manistique River and had so much fun (even when I got thrown from my kayak! Watch out for those trees and logs under the surface!) Don’t forget to say hi to Benny the Beard Fisher — so cool! We would recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back. Such a great time and we were treated so well! Katie & Ryan — happy campers — June 2025!
