We came in Mid September, the weather was still warm but 60/70. No bathrooms or hook ups, but perfect for tent or car campers. There was one other camper with a pop up camper and looked to be doing great. The road was long but worth the drive back!

Castle Rock easy in and out

Just minutes off of 75 down a well maintained gravel road are the Castle Rock ponds. Decent flat parking around the ponds, with plenty of room for at least 6 rigs.

Great night stop over

Stopped for the night. Easy to get to from the Hwy. I must have had a good night as the bugs were at a minimum.

Easy to get to

Easy to get to camping spot with multiple camping sites overlooking ponds. A couple miles down a nice gravel road that any kind of car could make it down. A couple people were here with moderate sized RVs. The mosquitos were pretty bad but what do you expect in the UP in July.
