Little Diamond in the Rough Campground 🏕

Smaller State owned campground right along the BEAUTIFUL Two Hearted River located in the U.P. of the Mitten State! I think it had 6-8 camp sites available. Just show up and pay as you go. When I went to the campground in May 2022 the fees to stay are around $20 PER night. Little pricey but the views and fishing location is PRIME! So that easily makes up for it. Has clean pump-able water 🚰 , nice and clean out house 🚽 , and trash receptacles 🗑. Would definitely recommend to try this place out! Bugs MAY be an issue so make sure to bring lots and lots of bug repellent! Check out Thermacell for great bug repellent products.
