Great spot to camp near North Country Trail. In the few times we have been here I’ve noticed there are a lot of full size campers compared to other campgrounds in this area, it fills up a bit quicker.

Was a great campground! Nice open clean sites with fire pits. River access from several different spots. One of which has a nice deck to enjoying a relaxing afternoon. We came in Saturday night and stayed until Monday. We had the whole campground to ourselves Sunday-Monday. Clean water access near by as well. Clean pit vault bathrooms for the most part. Very nice rustic feeling. The only thing I'd say, is If the campground was heavily trafficked.. neighbors would be very close by at most sites. Overall, beautiful and my girlfriend and I certainly enjoyed ourselves! Recommend this awesome campground to others as well!

Great Place! 25 Rustic Sites. 3 different types of sites. From tents, Hammocks, and 5th wheels. This place is built for all of them. Situated right on the Manistee River. Open sites to Secluded ones. Well maintained also.

Great campground! Had no cell service. But made it more enjoyable since kids couldn't be on their phones
