ScoutThis campground lacks full hookup. We like it fine it is just the inconvenience of only a dump station. It is a small city owned campground. Sites are gravel. Has a shower house. Most sites have a great Michigan views. Only 30 amp and water hookup.
ScoutI scouted this campground over a holiday weekend and found all the sites that could accomodate RVs were occupied, while all the tent sites were available. Returning on the Monday after the holiday with my tent, I was the only camper on site for all three nights I was there.
I camped in Site 2, as it was close to the lake and fishing was my purpose in being there. The campground is small (15 sites) and the cost is $20/night. The vault toilets (2) were clean and well supplied with toilet paper. The hand pump well takes a bit of priming to get going, but don't give up. You will get water. There is a small beach area next to a well maintained boat dock and concrete boat launch. Everything at my site, fire ring and picnic table was in good condition. As others have mentioned, this campground is right on a paved road. For some reason, this road is popular with noisy motorcycles and pickup trucks. Fortunately, the traffic almost completely stops by 9PM.
The fishing was just ok. Although rumor has it the lake is stocked with Walleye, my take was limited to abundant Bluegills, Pumpkinseeds, and Largemouth bass, many of which were on the larger size. Waterskiing and jetskiing is prohibited on the lake before 11AM, but they come out in numbers after that time.
All in all, being the sole camper at the site made for a pleasant stay. I would not venture to stay there on a weekend or holiday.
ScoutDevoe campground was very private sites are open and surrounded my trees.
ScoutGranted, we chose here to stay on 4th of July weekend. It was loud, understandably, any Campground on this exact weekend wouldn't be ideal. So, realistically,
Lake is clean, clear, other than a few areas with lily pads and what looked like a Loon nesting area that had some low lying aquatic plants.
Nice for kayaking.
Please note, the lake is a decent small/medium siz3 and you will be seeing about 4 or 5 pontoons and handful of Jet skis
ScoutWe have been coming here for years, many years. We love the staff and most of the neighboring campers. The lots are huge. Some years are better than others with upkeep of the grounds and bath house.
ScoutNice, convenient, lightly used.
ScoutSite 69 was large enough for our class C 31ft motorhome, didn't take much to level. It did rain pretty hard plus wind and with lots of trees many branches and such on top of our rig afterwards. That doesn't bother me but if it bothers you , you may want another place being this has lots of trees.
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!!!👍
