My partner wanted a waterfront site. Check. Convenient. Check. Feeling like staying in a trailer park? Check.

So on that last item, as a tent camper, she wasn't very sold. Sitting between the town and the water, the backside of the camp area is the hospital with loud cooling fan towers running constantly. Not much of a campground feel to it. Particularly with the dominant number and sizes of the motorhomes and fifth wheels.

I stayed here several years ago in September (after Labor Day) and the campground was much more sparse and comfortable. The shower house is decently clean, and for the price and location, I'm fine with it. It's a different kind of place, so know that going into it.

The town has a great bikeway path for pedaling to Charlevoix in one direction and Harbor Springs to the other direction.
