"It was clean and spacious, with great access to Lake Michigan. The dunes were great for relaxing and offered speculator sunset and star gazing views."
"Very short walk to the beach and very nice bathrooms. Also very close to Nordhouse Dunes (but the beach accessed by the trail in this campground is very beautiful with dunes)."
"Pretty standard Michigan State Park campground. Nice staff. Park maintenance is currently building a wood fence to keep folks away from steep bluff edge. Views of Lake Michigan fairly limited."
"Clean park with beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Unfortunately no access to beach because of erosion. Typical site sizes for Michigan State Park. Walk across the road for a 2 mile hike in the woods."
"Spent a few nights here enjoying Manistee National Forest and Lake Michigan. During our stay we relocated from our original site to a bigger site further down the road heading south."
"This was our first time trying out dispersed camping and this location was perfect! We loved being a short drive away from Lake Michigan and plenty of hiking trails."

"I wish we had a place to dump our grey water, but otherwise it was an easy drive in and had fresh water."

"Conveniently located close to downtown Ludington Michigan."
"Great campsite with trails nearby and amazing fishing opportunities! Close to Baldwin!"
"Short 5-10 min walk from the river where we were able to see a ton of spawning salmon. Just be careful walking on the road, locals fly down it."
"Really cool rustic sites as well as full hookup sites for rv and a boat access to lake Hamlin that you can take right out to lake michigan."
"They offer kayaks and canoe rentals and have a boat dock right on the lake. Quiet hours start at 10pm and strict quiet house are at 11. I have to say that this was the quietest we have stayed."
TravelerDrove out to this campsite after spending the day swimming in Lake Michigan at the Recreation area which is down the road. There’s ~ 15 sites down this road, and each of them were gorgeous, some very large and very private.
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.
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.
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 :)
LegendThis place looks impressive at first as you drive in through closely packed seasonal campers.... But it improves dramatically as you drive over the hill and into the hollow where there are nicely spaced sites scattered across a field with a great playground and a path to Bass Lake. The best thing by far is the dual access to the STUNNING beach on Lake Michigan. You can paddle through Bass Lake and into the river straight down to the dam at the big lake, where you are met with beautiful dunes and a little swimming hole. The rivers confluence with Lake Michigan makes the water warmer there, and the lake water is so clear. The sand is a beautiful fine white. Amazing. You can also walk there down a quiet street, about 3/4 mile. Take a right out of the campground and the your first left. The other beach isn't as scenic. Loved this place and the quaint surrounding area
LegendWe stayed 3 nights in April on our way to Mackinaw. Our site was #21. Site backed up to the woods but was open on front and sides. This is a large campground with daily, seasonal, primitive, newer sites. Our site needed leveling but was not bad. It was before season started so amenities were not available yet. The resort has 3 pools, hot tub, nice store with pizza & ice cream. It was quiet in April but I'm sure summer is busy. We had a great pizza & ice cream at the store. Locally there is a few lighthouses, parks, views of Lake Michigan. Ludington Bay Brewing was an excellent place for dinner and a drink.

ScoutThis spot is wonderful, but boy howdy does it live up to its name. If you do not have AWD and good ground clearance, don’t even try to get there.
