Had a very nice site here. Lots of working people staying here, so lots of people leaving in the early morning hours. Very reasonable rates.
Sebastian Cole
Horrible place, cold showers, frogs, slugs insects and vermin in bathrooms, trash over filled, no trash pick up! Not mowed or tended to, no fire pits, super small cramped sites, I could go on for days better to park at Walmart

The sites are perfectly level, and they offer full hookups. The park is older and showing quite a bit of wear and tear. It is also across the street from a large prison. We used it as an incredibly cheap base to visit Sault Saint Marie. It was quiet and we didn’t have any problems. Also the pizza place in town right down the street from the RV park is pretty good.

Decent place to stay great price for visiting the eastern part of the upper peninsula. Now the bad part. You get what you pay for. Full hookups but 30 amps but don’t try to get more than 26-27 or you’ll pop the breaker or burn up your plug. Most are shared pedestals for electric so most need an extension. Water quality and pressure great. The host does not enforce any rules at all. There are people plugged into two sites, there is excessive speeding by the campers in the park. If you go try to get there by 4 o clock or wait till the next morning to check in with the host. Very unprofessional way to run a park.

I couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience staying here. I was passing through for the night and stopped in to see if any spots were available; I typically car camp so I didn’t need any hookups or plumbing. The Host was so accommodating and absolutely one of the kindest people I’ve met in a long time! She told me I am more than welcome to stay and the prices were absolutely affordable. I met another fellow camper, Carol, who told me I could stay on her lot with her and that she also car camped herself! She gave me some brochures on the north country trail, and we shared lots of stories. Very very nice community there!! The bathrooms and showers were clean, and the lots were well maintained. Thankful for everything and everyone I encountered on my spontaneous overnight stay :) thank you!!

This is a very basic campground. No frills. Although it does have a small clubhouse, I don't see any functions posted on the bulletin board.👀 It's very quiet during the day. Everybody seems to be off somewhere working. I thought it a bit unusual there were so many teenagers staying there. Apparently with parents or grandparents. The host, Janine, is absolutely wonderful 🥰 She wants to hear all about your travels, where you're from, and what you're doing, So pull up a chair 🪑 and have a chat. The price is extremely reasonable. It's the least expensive I paid on my entire adventure. It's also the first place in Michigan I've been to that has a senior rate or a weekly rate. So if you just want a place to chill for a week or so and catch up on some RV repairs or planning your route then this is the place. There were a couple of other campers there from Florida during my short stay. Many of the campers here are seasonal workers at the new Soo Locks project. There isn't really much close by to see or do. There is a small (international) airport. Canada🇨🇦 is less than 20 miles away. This is probably the first campground I've been at in months that you can actually walk to the grocery store. At one end of the campground is a gas ⛽ station with a very large grocery store. And then at the other end is a Dollar Tree/Family Dollar, and a Dollar General. So this is the closest I've been to a gas station and a grocery store in many months. Certainly an easy walk. There's a lot of dirt trails around the campground if your kids have bicycles or you have a golf cart or a four-wheeler. The sunsets are very nice and there's no noise at night except an occasional airplane. This is also the first time I've been away from a highway and don't hear trucks all night long. I went to the Soo Locks each day in Sault ste Marie. The first day I did the museum ship and the lock tour and then the second day I went to Canada and viewed the Canadian locks from the land. The same locks I went through the day before on the tour. And I also went to the bush plane museum which is on the Canadian side.

Good place to stop overnight.

Well its nice place to camp, and there's a large dog park there. We were in the second row, with lots of shade trees, behind our camper. We had a picnic table at our site, fire ring too. Full hookups, $20 per night.
Michelle West
Nice people, full book up, very quiet and great prices!

A diamond in the rough. Could be so much more. Needs upgrading to 50amp. Grass needs mowing on a regular basis. It's pretty much self-serve and do as you please. Centrally located. Great little grocery store with an awsome meat department and bakery
