ScoutTypical rustic camper, so camping close to others is not my typical cup of tea, but I messed up my rustic campsite reservation by week and managed to get the last open spot for the weekend in the main campground. First up - Park Staff at check-in. 6/5. Incredibly helpful. Let me do a drive by of the site to check if I would fit, and stalled someone on the phone who called about that last site while I checked it out. Campsites- be prepared to deal with sloping ground. Bathrooms - clean, Camp store - kind of sparse. Campfire Wood - the stuff they sell works for a quick fire but not long lasting. Buy some larger logs from in town.
ScoutSo close to the beach! Large, well kept sites. Campground will close Labor Day for a year to up grade sewer. No city water or sewer hook ups. 30 amp or 20 amp electric.
TravelerPretty good campground other than it’s right off M-66 and you can hear the traffic, but the campground is clean and nice, right on spring lake with easy access if you like to boat, kayak, or fish. The north country trail runs right through the campground and you can also hike the fife lake loop here
ScoutManton RV Campground is a place you want to include on your camping travels. Owner was very friendly and would swing by to see if we needed anything
Bath house was very nice with plenty of hot showers with great water pressure. That’s a number one seller for me, that and if they are clean, which they were. There is plenty of walking area to get some exercise for yourself and dogs.
I would highly recommend making this campground one to park your camper at!!!👍
TravelerA hidden gem near Cadillac. It’s nice and quiet and clean, bathrooms aren’t too far from campsites. Electrical hookups are provided and fire pits. We even got free firewood. Fun visit! The campground has a lot of activities to offer too as well as live bands.
TravelerSuper lively campground with lots of people and campsites close to each other. The airport is nearby as is the main road so don’t expect much peace and quiet. If noise isn’t an issue, this campground is clean, fun, and cozy! Bathrooms are all nearby.
ScoutWe love this place!! We’ve been back multiple times and always feel at home! The NCT is further from the river and a bit hilly, but the MRT sites are nicer :)
TravelerPull through full hook up, everything worked great. Nice level gravel spot. Clean restroom and laundry room. The host were friendly and helpful.
ScoutSites are small and pretty close together but shaded with electric at site (134) and centrally located bathhouse with hot water and well kept. Dish washing station available. Clean campground; even with lots of people, pretty quiet. 45 minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Can catch bus for ride into town where there are lots of shops, breweries, etc - very nice town. There is traffic and plane noise. There is a pedestrian bridge to go over to the park along the bay. z Family friendly. Nice roads to bike on and explore the campground.
