It's free so cant complain about 15 minutes from iron River off the man road wasn't too busy but def a few people nice lake view bathrooms and fire grate but that's about it worth it if you just need a quick place to camp but nothing special

Started out good. Lots of wood. Peaceful and other campers were chill too. We heard from one of them that the camper in the site next to us had been sitting there for over a month, after a big party and place was trashed. Just after 9 PM on our second night, a LOUD family with unleashed dog arrived, fired up their LOUD generator, and now I'm trying to find somewhere else for tomorrow. They are the only other campers whose voices I've heard since we've been here. And they are RIGHT NEXT DOOR. With little tree coverage between us, I just cannot. Thank you to the majority of campers out there who respect others.

Nice campground to spend a night or a few nights. Plenty of free firewood around with the downed trees, but overall the campground isn’t too bad. There is still no water, or cost to camp here. The fire pits were really nice, I liked the adjustable cooking grate.

Ran across this place looking for a spot to camp. It was perfect for what we were looking for. Quiet, only one other person there and free. Camped right along the lake too.
