Great experience!

I called to see if they had room about 3 weeks out. We were just looking for a weekend stay. Everywhere else was booked so I wasn’t hopeful. The owner answered the phone, even gave me a little background about the place- and was happy to take my booking. He accepted my card over the phone without issue. He did not assign us a site until we arrived however which initially made me nervous. But we ended up with a great spot and we were happy. It is nice and wooded through most of the park. There are several buildings onsite that we didn’t get to peek into due to other plans around the area. We will definitely be back! Something to note: we had zero cell service though att. There was internet supplied in the park, but it disappeared the 2nd morning. I inquired on the internet and was told there wasn’t a problem. We will just plan for that next time.

Poor Refund Policy

Their policy as stated on their website is no refunds for any reason. I get that, if you can't rent it out to someone else. You should also be making sure to state that when people call to make reservations and then you follow it up in writing in an e-mail along with detailed charges. But, our reservations were not made online and the policy was no stated on the phone and nothing was e-mailed. My parents are elderly and this was to be their last trip before we sold the camper because they no longer get around very well. My mother fell and sustained a serious break to her leg a week before the trip. I called the campground and asked if there was anything they could do about even a partial refund. The woman answering the phone said she would talk to the owner and call back. If they could rent out the space, well maybe we could get my parents almost$400 back. They did not e-mail any kind of receipt. If it couldn't be rented and you didn't want to take that loss as a business, that is understandable. But, they never called back. They just charged the money. We had a friend check out the campground on the nights my parents were to stay there. They rented this spot to someone else each and every night! And, they still charged charged my parents almost $400 for a 4 night stay that they never made claiming they could come back any time this year. That won't be possible since the camper is being sold. I understand no refunds is the policy, but really?! Double dipping like that is a dishonest policy to have. Leading someone to believe you might help them out due to extenuating circumstances and then not doing anything but gouging them without a word is a bad business practice. Renting the space over the phone to an elderly person and never telling them about the policy to begin with or following up with e-mail is also a bad business practice.

Yikes

The theme of this campground is western and fun. They have so much potential but the main guy is something else. Honestly gut feeling he made me feel so uncomfortable we couldn’t stay.

He made me wait 30 minutes while he went and got beer for a couple. There were two others behind us in line. He said it was $80 a night, when we said ok no thanks he asked us what we wanted to pay. Not trying to negotiate just not paying $80

The property is massive several sites were available, the dumpster was over flowing so bad that a big pile had formed next to it.

Not recommending… didn’t feel safe

Great Spot to Explore UP

Don’t judge a book by its cover. The campgrounds are a bit “quirky”…lots of art and signs etc. BUT the owner and his family were really sweet and cared about the guests. They do not take credit cards…we had to mail a check to reserve. But it all worked out. Bathrooms/showers need work but the sites are nice and wooded. You can walk across the street to the beach along Lake Superior and are drive distance to Black Rock and Pictured Rock. They even have a brewery in the campground.

Quirky campground with tons of character

We didn’t get as far as planned one night and called on a whim. They had a spot open and were super accommodating. There is so much to look at here!! Love the character of the place!

Expensive!

Nice site. Lake across the road. Quiet. Sites have full hook ups. Host is friendly! But it was $69 for one night and he said it’s $79 on wknds. Other campgrounds around the area - may check those out next time.
