We loved this place. So much to do and so many cool campsites. Warning: if you go during peak salmon fishing time and tent along the river, total strangers will invade your campsite with no hesitation, stand around with their buddies, smoke and swear. There were several empty campsites right next to us but apparently our site had prime fishing.

We stayed here for the first time September 11-14, 2025 and absolutely loved it. While it's a big campground, it's very wooded and feels very private. The sites are a great size too. There is lots to do in the area. We are looking forward to coming back!

Stayed for the weekend, pull thru full hookup site, had a gravel pad near the playground. Campground is quite large and expanding . Had a golf cart escort to our spot. Store, restrooms, and sites were well maintained. Staff were very friendly and watching out for issues. Lots of hiking options for our little kiddos. Wifi is offered but they admit it's not going to steam videos very well, can become slow during peak hours when sites start to fill up. The playground and dog runs were also clean and maintained. Overall, they're very little that could be some better here, looking forward to booking again.

We love coming here. The grounds are well maintained and everything (especially the bathrooms!) are so clean. Last year I came with my parents and had a great pull thru RV spot. This year my husband and I tent camped on the "island" and loved being a little more secluded. The folks at the store are super friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

We've been camping in an RV for more than 30 years. This campground is the best campground we have come across in regards to cleanliness, ease of booking, check in, and also has very spacious sites. We camped for 5 nights during the week, avoiding the weekends to be able to enjoy the area surrounding the campground. We went disc golfing, boating, tubing, hiking, and swimming in Lake Michigan at nearby Duck Lake State Park. This whole week was fabulous! No complaints. Wonderful weather, beautiful area, lots of stuff to do! Thanks for keeping ypur park clean.
