Free place to park, no trash, no water, no gray dump.

This place has a lot of people driving through it, but it's a nice place to park. The beach smells like fish, but overall it's pretty nice.

We drove a 24 ft RV at night to the site and the road is decent but has MANY deep potholes. So you need to watch for that ! No one else at the site! Just parked off to the side of the road near the boat launch and had a view of the water ! Very secluded feeling and peaceful !

Too good to be true.

Beautiful view of lake Huron. Labor Day weekend and no one else is here except the ubiquitous mosquitoes. Easy and easy out on a good gravel road. Access to Lake Huron.
