Northern Exposure Campground & RV Park

Camp staff very friendly and park is well maintained. Nice hiking trails nearby and a 20 minute drive to a whole lot of entertainment!

Best place to relax for a week!

First time going there was amazing. Staff was friendly. Campground was quiet and everyone who was around us was super nice and friendly.

I love having a view from my campsite that has a lake on it! Not many big boats on it so there was no motor noise constantly like how it is on most inland lake campgrounds. The bathrooms and showers were extremely clean and were cleaned daily. Lots to do outside of the campground in that general area as well, hiking trails and fishing opportunities everywhere. Will absolutely come here again.

We camped for a long weekend here and had a great time! Nice location for hiking and beautiful view of the lake! Would definitely come back!

I've been here 3 years in a row. The neighbors are lovely and respectful and the scenery is great.

I hate camping, but this campground I’ll go to. Water and electric hook up at all the sites, cabins available, their own little lake and boat launch, there’s Kid’s EVERYWHERE! 🥰 Its absolutely perfect for the entire camping spectrum. Nice clean bathrooms, a nice little store and restaurant right there and another little store right on the main road. First fish caught by my son at this campsite and we WILL BE BACK!

We camped last week here and had a fantastic time. This is a slice of upnorth heaven! Waterfront lot #50 perfect for fishing/swimming/boating right from your lot.  We will be returned in the future!

Best place for a family vacation!!

Great campground. I think this is going to be one of our favorites. I do believe they have a few full hookup sites but all sites have electric and water. We stayed at the the north end of the campground in back which was very quiet during the weekday. My kids had a blast, paved roads, beaches, camp store. I think next time we will get one of the lake front sites. The view is amazing.

This campground is perfect for campers of most experience and age levels.  If you are looking for rugged, wilderness / secluded camping its probably not your place but for everyone else it's a hidden gem.  

Nice spots both on the river show and across the road.  Easy water access for very little children and non-motorized boats / Kayaks, etc.  Nicely equipped playground and evening activities at the Camp Store/Office on special weekends.  

This campground has the cleanest restroom/shower facilities of any campground I have been too.  Also the staff is very friendly and helpful.

One tip, fire pits do not have grill tops attached and the pit opening is pretty wide.

This is where we went when I was a kid. My first camping experiences. With all my cousins. They had a cement pad for chalking. Lots of trains for walking and biking. A store just around the corner we’d get ice cream at! Best place.

One trip and we were hooked. It has become a family tradition several times a year. Worth a 2+ hour drive. Lots of water lots and lots with water views. Clean bath houses.

Great place to take a camper with family. The campground offers clean facilities, general store, rentals for the lake, and camp events like movie night. With sites right on the water remember to bring your kayak! Trails in forest give oppertunity to explore, and just down the road from Mesick also.

Great site for first time campers or when you want to just get away quickly without having to take lots of equipment and supplies. Nice little camp store and pizza restaurant on site. Great playground, evening activities. Nice mix of electric hook up, R.V. and tent sites. Boat rentals, etc. Great place for a group of families to come camp together. Staff at the campground are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

This place was wonderful. The staff was all very nice, the grounds were clean, and our lot was huge. We asked to be away from the lake because of our young kids but the lake lots looked beautiful. We will be back.

Beautiful campground on the Manistee River! Nice facilities too.
