I think this was the BEST campground I have ever stayed. Very accommodating. The other folks in the park were a great welth of knowledge and just cool people. After going through Door county last week avoiding the public Bathrooms I was pleased to see the restrooms here were cleaned every day and smelled like flowers and fresh cut grass. We will be going back!

Stellar scenery, crystal-clear lake water and a nice swimming beach. Most campsites here offer plenty of privacy and a fair amount have lake views. A substantial hiking trail system connects with the campground. Be forewarned - as of summer 2021 there is no drinking water available from any water system here, throughout the entire campground and beach. Signs at all water spouts indicate water is unsafe for drinking, though the spouts are operable nonetheless. Plan ahead and bring enough potable water for your entire stay. On the bright side, the Ottawa National Forest finds ways to keep this area open for visitors, in this case partnering with a third party to run the campground. The nearest alternative national forest campground is just over the state line at the Brule River. It’s been gated for several years due to budget shortfalls in the Chequamegon Nicolet and is slated to be entirely dismantled soon. Hats off to the Ottawa National Forest for keeping this area open and well maintained, aside from the water system. If drinkable water were offered, this would be a five star destination without question.

Beautiful, clear lake and no people.

We spent 4 very nice days there last week. The campsites are very nice and secluded. Absolutely beautiful area. I would have been able to give 5 stars except for the fact they had no potable water. It was posted at the fill station but not at the drinking fountains. Fortunately I was carrying water and did not need it at the time. But I was forced to buy water in town later. From what I understand this is a recurring problem. It wasn't the inconvenience so much and I understand money crunches, but I was very disappointed to learn this. Not having crystal clear pure drinking water in what is accurately described as "God's Country" is completely unfathomable to me. Please, Michigan..... be "Pure Michigan".
