Beautiful Campground

On Lake Michigan. Large, private cement pad sites. Spotlessly clean. Full hookups. Bath and laundry facilities are some of the nicest I have ever seen. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Campers were also friendly. Great beach walking area. Some traffic noise from nearby highway, but it was quiet at night. Wind off the lake was chilly, but views were stunning.

Beautiful campsites

Loved camping here in our 42' fifth wheel. This campground is very clean and beautiful. It is perfectly located on Lake Michigan and easy access from highway 2. There is laundry, shower, and bathrooms for your convenience. Plus nice fire pits at each site and a playground. We truly enjoyed this campground and would definitely stay here again.

Manistique, Lake Michigan

This is by far, one of the best campgrounds I have ever stayed that is an actual campground and not a resort. There are about 12-15 lake front sites with awesome views. Accessible nice sandy beaches and this park is very clean. All concrete pads with 30 or 50 amp on every site. WiFi works pretty decent, no local over air TV, but they do provide cable as well (mine was fuzzy, not sure if it was the service or my rig?) 2 washers and 2 dryers. Bathrooms are some of the nicest you will find with private shower rooms and separate bathrooms. Dump station on site for non guests for $10. Will definitely be back in the future!

Lake site

Wonderful experience at this campground! We had site 45 which is right on the water with a small lighthouse in the background. The breeze off the water kept us cool. I wish we would have had more time at this campsite it was clean and the employees were very friendly. The bathhouse was very clean and centrally located so easy to walk too. The hook ups looked new and we’re on poles that lite up at night for easy use.

The playground is towards the front of the campground, our kids enjoyed playing on it. There is a public access area near by that shared the park access.

We will go back for sure! Kitch iti kipi was a short 15-20 minute drive, they open at 8am if you get there at 8 there was not a line.

They offer tent camping spots as well. WiFi was good and cell service Sprint was good.

Lovely campground

Well maintained campground on the shore of lake Michigan. Full hookups and Wi-Fi, however the internet connection can be intermittent. A little close to US 2 so there is some road noise. If you're lucky the sound of waves will drown it out.

Glamping

Nice cement pads, made setting up a breeze since we were level from unhooking. Clean and quiet except some road noise. Hookups are great from electric to water and cable. Right on lake Michigan with Sandy beaches to walk or swim.

Fantastic little campground right on Lake Michigan. Well kept clean level sites with plenty of space between sites. Book early because sites go fast in the summer.

Amazing small campground

There are a limited number of sites here, 6 for tents and the rest for RVs. We have a travel trailer and this was the easiest set up we’ve ever had. Each site has a long, paved, level pad for your camper and vehicle. The electric and water post is very nice organized. Sewer available at all electric sites. Tons of big rigs here bc the spots are spaced appropriately and easy to maneuver. Bathrooms and showers are the nicest I e ever used at a campground. But the jewel are the lake front campsites. We literally walked out our door to the sand beach. Our fire pit was located so we could chill and watch the lake while the kids jumped the waves in the long shallow sandy areas. Dunes are also behind some sites, which is fun for the kids to roll around in. Super dog friendly. Close to grocery and restaurants if needed, but still feel isolated despite the proximity to the highway. The sounds of the waves on the lake put us to sleep at night. A perfect camping paradise. The only downside is that this campground is always booked, so it’s hard to get a reservation. We booked in December for the following June, and all lakefront spots were booked already. A last minute cancellation meant we could snag the lakefront spot, and it’s amazing. Don’t hesitate if there’s a spot open, just book it!

Fantastic

I only wish my community back home would make an investment by building such a wonderful campground. We found this location online using the Dyrt App. This is a relatively small community campground that was recently opened. You can fit just about any size rig as the sites are huge. I wish we found it sooner so that we could have reserved a lake front site over looking the lighthouse. The bathhouse is top notch with a sitting area that is separate from the shower. They also have a family shower room/bath area. Sites are paved and they have great fire pits on each site. The water has been high this summer as we have witnessed several other campgrounds with flooding. This one was not immune as they had several with sitting water but most were just fine. I would maybe call in advance for sure recommendations. All sites are full hook up with exception of the primitive sites. There is no store and they were having some issues with WiFi while we were here. They have pull through and back in sites. Very affordable pricing for the amenities. If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely stay here again.

Campground with RV resort feel

This probably was one of the cleanest campgrounds we ever went to. They have everything from full hookups to rustic tent sites. Each site has a huge permanent firepit. RV lots are large  and private, Lots of trees and there is a constant breezy that comes off of Lake Michigan. The only downfall is, it's more expensive than your typical campground. $40 - $60 range for the RV sites. Although $60 dollars, you can get your own private beach front lot. Bathrooms and Laundry room are super clean. You also get cable. Restaurants, shopping and a brewery are all within walking distance

Great Campground on Lake Michigan

This is a beautiful Campground with sites a few feet or a few yards from Lake Michigan. Fantastic south facing views. Close to town and lots to do in the area. Make sure you go to Jack's Market for pasties and pot pies. Eat in or carry out.
