Quiet, rustic, and a nice inland lake.

We camped here after visiting the Northern Natural Cider and Winery nearby which we highly recommend. The campground itself was large with plenty of sites to choose from, first come first serve. I think it was something like $13. Bring cash! 

We were there on a rainy October weekend and we were one of two total sites occupied. 

Good boat launch. The site host was actually not there while we were, though it wasn't an issue. 

Bring your own wood and ice.

Would not recommend

We rode through yesterday looking for a place to camp, this campground has been taken over by the township and it appeared to us there were locals living there. Would not recommend wasting your time going through the washboard roads to get to it.
