Nice rustic campground located just outside of Jackson.

Very nice. The quietest atmosphere. It's hard to imagine a world so quiet. We will definitely have to go back! Also, there are a few shops and a cafe near by in town.

It's a cozy campground. A lot of deer fun to watch and take pictures of. It could use a bigger pond. ( Lake ) for fishing but there is a fantastic lake for that ,boating,swimming and a great place for barbeque get togethers about a 2 mile drive. The owners just this summer they put in brand new bathrooms and showers for men and women boys and girls really nice some of the better bathrooms shower rooms I've seen at a campground. Dan the owners and his brothers the entire family are wonderful people it's nice here I'd recommend it for a weekend or a week for anyone that likes to camp. Also then just a couple miles of grocery stores gas stations between pleasant lake and Leslie and real close to Mason good location.

Absolutely great experience. Very friendly folks that keep a clean and neat campground. Most definitely will come back again. Not too far away from civilization, but far enough away to make the escape worth while. Highly recommended!

I am very disappointed and appalled. I called to reserve and the lady I spoke to was very rude. I understand the age limit I don't like living next to trash either. I was appalled she said they wouldn't even look at my camper or photos. I have an 89 wilderness I have worked very hard to restore and keep maintained. I am a retired certified RV Technician, I run a successful cleaning company with my wife and we spend a lot of time on the road. I can guarantee my home is just as nice and nicer than some of the younger generation campers and trash you all probably WILL except. I am completely fed up with rude customer service and think it's time we all stop patronizing any business that has poor quality control and customer service.

Private owned campground in Leslie Michigan. 75 to 100 campsites with water and electric hookup or some spots with none. When me and my daughters were there it was quiet and very peaceful. The owners are super nice people. They have a 3D archery range that has a small fee. Nice little pond for swimming and fishing. The price for would is great! You get a ton of wood for $10. I gave away about half when we packed up. Port-AJohn's for bathrooms in the camp area and 1 mens shower room with bathroom and I women's. Old and dated but still nice and no problems. I will definitely be back to camp there again! Me and my kids had a great, relaxing time.
