GuideNice spot
Quiet 25 site campground. It does get a lot of “non camper traffic” A little road noise but the river makes up for it.
ScoutRustic with river access
Never especially busy, lots of great sites. We chose an open spot (really 3 sites but in a meadow) so the kids had room to run and play. Multiple river access points made for a quick float for the kids. Lots of dirt roads for bike rides. Great mix of wooded and open sites.
GuideA great MI spot
Only spent one night here, but it was a beautiful spot. Right near the Manistee River and offers lovely scenery. It was rainy and there were slugs everywhere, but that's camping right? It was also very empty for a Thursday night in the middle of a Michigan summer.
I plan to re-visit it this…
