Weak power

We got in on a Thursday and left on a Saturday. The power was fine Thursday and early Friday, but as more campers arrived the voltage dropped to the point where my surge protector started cutting it off. Also they don't have many toilets, 2 for sitting in the men's room. I also stepped on a fish hook while in the shower, fortunately it only stuck in my calluses.

Quiet Weekend with extended family

We have stayed twice at this campground. Both times it has clean, quiet and enjoyable! Sits on the shores of Big Bradford Lake which appears to be an all sports lake. The beach is very clean! Close to the ORV trails for those that enjoy off-roading. There is a bike trail that starts just up the road from the campground that goes into Gaylord,MI.
