GuideNice spot by the river. Free during the off season and reserving during the summertime just costs the reservation fee from recreation.gov
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.
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.
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.

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 :)
