Fantastic, Trail head, CLEAN, Rustic

This campground is wonderful off grid style camping. No electric or water, no dump station. There are delicious well pumps they pump up clean crisp water. This campground is connected to a main ORV trail head. Each time I've visited it's been pretty quiet, but there have been times with tons of ORV traffic, if you like to ride endless trails this is the place for you. Trails are constantly groomed, but DUSTY so be prepared. I love this area of Michigan. The campgrounds have pit toilets that are constantly maintained and clean. There is a small store/gas station down the street. Great wild life, great people.
