We had a WONDERFUL stay here. We really enjoyed being on an inland lake and in a great location to explore the UP. The price was really good and we were excited there were spots available.

What a beautiful campground for a small county spot! Features a beautiful and kid friendly beach and lake front. Lots of fun hills to ride bikes around too! We were at a spot that would have been much more suitable for an RV, VERY hilly for a tent. The office was lovely to work with, they even offered for us to change sites, but we had already set up camp. If tenting, sites south of the bathhouse nearest the office are recommended!

Great place! Peaceful, mostly shaded sites. Great beach with a big swimming area. We will be back. Picture from site 34.

Great campground with everything from full hook ups to primitive sites. Quiet during the week and much busier on the weekends. Boat launch, fishing pier, beach, fish cleaning house, play ground and several bathrooms throughout the grounds. Very nice staff who work very hard to keep the campgrounds looking great. We would definitely return. We camped in site 33. There is also an ice cream shop within walking distance.

We parked our Geo Pro RV so easily at Perkins Park. So close to Bay City! Great location plus great park for my doggie too. Big Bay has a great inn too plus great place to eat. Big Bay Lighthouse and lots of waterfalls hidden that you hike to see. Great general Store for all your needs plus gas stations too.

Wooded park on the lake. Full hookups pull-through. Friendly people. Clean bath/shower. Liked it so much, extended our stay 2 more days. Host very accommodating and pleasant. Campers super friendly. 25 min from Marquette. Beautiful scenery and well-maintained roads. Will definitely be back when we’re in the area.

We stayed 3 days and had a wonderful time. The campground was clean and very well maintained. The restrooms and showers were in good condition. It was nice having actual bathrooms and hot showers available anytime. They have a private beach and a boat launch. I was impressed for being so reasonably priced.

If you’ve never heard of this place, like me, you’re in for a big big surprise. This place is fabulous. The sites are big and for the most part shaded. And talk about “cheap”! $145 for 5 days with full hook-ups. There are only about 5 sites that will accommodate a 40’ RV but if you’re 35’ & under you are in luck. The views across Lake Independence are gorgeous. The only downside I see is limited shopping in the area so stock up before you arrive. You will love this park. I’ve traveled all over the USA and Canada and it would be very hard to find a better location than Perkins Park.
