Nice and quiet resort for 55+. We were in our 40’ Motorhome and had lots of space for our toad and to relax and enjoy the breeze. Lots of activities and a very nice and friendly park.

This was a great place to spend the week. We used it as a jumping off place to visit many natural places in the northern Michigan area. There are a lot of trails, beaches, and other points of interest nearby. This campground has friendly management, quiet, clean and safe surroundings. The air is fresh and the bird population is diverse.

Manistee Bluffs is a beautiful RV park! Spacious, concrete sites with nice landscaping. Very quiet park. Friendly folks! We stayed for a short trip up north. Had some issues with our motor home, so, had to leave early. Hope to visit again in the future!

We lucked out when we found this campground. We finished up earlier then expected in Elkhart and needed a few days to stay before heading north. This is a lovely campground with the nicest people. The owner Barry is a great friendly guy. The sites are very nice. They are level and all the utilities are were the should be. Concrete patios, gravel driveways. The area has so much to do unfortunately we didn't have enough time for us to explore it all. We will definitely be back!

We spent a week here in an RV. The RV sites are very nice and spacious with beautiful stamped concrete patios and picnic tables. Full up to date hook-ups and super fast WiFi. The community is filled with very friendly people and super sweet fur babies. Barry the manager went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant and issue free. The breeze from Lake Michigan is also wonderful. Lot's of cool places to visit in the area including beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. The permanent homes on the property are new and in beautiful condition. Highly recommended.
