    Great Campground

    Great out of the way campground. It was nice and quiet. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. The gentleman that checked us in moved things around so we could all be together not on different sites well away frome each other. Would definitely go there again.

    Bring bug spray

    We stayed at lot M18 of the rustic site, Murray Lake. The site was large and had a picnic table and fire pit. There are TONS of mosquitos.

    Gas and convenience is not far away. I had spotty Verizon service but I did get all of my notifications. Internet use was slow.

    Family campground with beach

    Nice campground. Sites are close together and sites 60-72 or so are really tent site, not level, and need extension cord for electric. No water hookups. No ATT service.

    Bishop Lake Campground

    Haven't camped, only fished.

    I have not camped here but had a family member use the campground while visiting the area. They spoke very highly of it. They have a large camper and stayed for a few nights.

    I've been here quite a few times to fish. Great fishing spot.

    Nice area, but tiny sites!

    We loved the area around the campground. Waterloo is a great area! But... most of the campsites are tiny! Campers are crowded in together

    Bare bones

    Difficult to get potable water. Only electric on the sites. Some sites don't have electric hookup. Dump station is in a completely different section of the state park. We arrived around 8 pm and check-in station was already closed. Luckily they have a sign with name and site number. Not much to do other than trails.

    Alpha male vibe

    Camp ground was adding new spots so there were lots of piles of dirt. Not many trees, nice pool, dirt roads. Camp ground attacks bikers.

    Lake Murray Rustic Sites

    This was our first camping experience in Michigan, so we weren’t exactly prepared. My rating takes this into consideration.

    First of all, if it’s rainy or muddy, you might want to think twice about entering the rustic camping area. We have a 4Runner, so it was no problem but a few little cars did slide around and have trouble on the hill by our site.

    Our site wasn’t level, so we were rolling around a bit. If I went there again I’d try to find a spot towards the end of the loop by the exit. These sites were higher and some of them were private. I’d examine the map carefully because some of the sites were horrendously open and basically on the road. Maybe good for a vehicle with a rooftop tent or a trailer of some sort, but it would have been annoying for us. Site M22 was big and far enough away from other campers, but again not level. Probably a good location for a group of hammock campers.

    All that aside, the biggest problem was mosquito activity. The camping area sits on an inaccessible lake with a marsh area.

    When we rolled in the first thing we noticed was that everyone had screen houses set up.

    We didn’t have anything but our tent and a hammock with a big net so everyone got bitten up while cooking and hanging out by the fire. It was pretty miserable. Yes, I realize this is mostly our fault.

    I’ve since purchased a thermacell backpacker and some bug net hats and stuff. I’m looking into constructing an ultralight screen house that can be suspended from trees.

    The last problem was drunk campers hooting and hollering all night but that isn’t the camping areas fault.

    This place is super close to where we are living so I’ll probably schedule it next spring and come prepared. There are lots of nearby lakes and recreational trails so it’s a fun place to be with family.

    Ehh

    It was alright. Our neighbors across from us had 30 kids using one fire pit. (They had 6 sites together) and were up past midnight running around. Our fire ring was so close to the road. The bathrooms are pretty far away as there is only one building. The lake and trails were great.

    Pleasant Stay

    There are wooded sites on the upper area with shade and sunny sites on the lower area. Something for everyone. Just a couple of sites face the water. The beach is a modest bicycle ride on a nice and wide path. Or you can jump in a vehicle and make the drive to the separate beach entrance. Like other State Parks the lake is void of any homes which makes it a nice lake for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, floating, etc. A well established mountain bike trail is within the recreation area. The locals call it Torn Shirt.

    Grey's the job done

    Lots of sites, LOTS of things to do, great website, great Easter recreation. It's a little attorney, but the facilities are amazing, well-kept, and we'll managed. It's also pretty quiet, despite being pretty busy.

    Office Lied

    We were told if we arrived by 9 PM we could have a campsite. We arrived at 8:50 and the office was closed. We had no where to sleep due to the fact that we had trusted the person in the office who lied to us.

    Great campground. We camped in the upper campground over looking the lake. The lower campground is more open and little shade. You have to walk a short distance to the beach but while worth it.

    Very nice, clean, people and staff very friendly. You must reserve a spot by phone or online only, no walk ins. I made my reservation while standing at the visitor cabin

    Pretty but busy

    Spacious sites but neighbor is still a bit close and totally visible. Our site has lake views, #83. Very pretty. Drive on dirt road to get here. Saw lots of fire flies! Safe for kids to run and ride bikes around. Vending machines available. Perfect stopover on our long drive.

    Nice quiet place

    Tried it for the first time. It was quiet and relaxing. The camp host was nice and friendly. Kids loved having the playground so close to the camper. Will be back soon.
