We chose #29 as it was unshaded and we need solar & Starlink & the weather is fairly cool. Could survive using generator & hotspot-but why?
Friendly & helpful hostess. We arrived w/o booking and lucked out on FCFS. This also let us book a day or two at a time, and avoid the $8 fee for online reservations. Conveniently the ‘America the Beautiful’ pass got us 50% off.
Water spigot provided water. Dumpsters scattered. No elec. Apparently there is a dump station - have not investigated
Restrooms and showers are clean and nicely maintained. There’s a good amount of trees and shade for those hot summer days. There are trails and some fishing areas as well. Traffic noise isn’t too annoying except for the occasional loud mufflers and train horns. No train horns were heard during the late hours though. Overall it’s a decent place to stay
The campground is pretty wide open, so there isn't much privacy, but it is absolutely beautiful!
I had the luck to arrive when there was some heavy weather moving through the area, which made for some absolutely beautiful skies.
Campsites are pretty close and there is no shade, trees are planted just still very small! Bathroom was nice, shower house a little crusty but not the worst we’ve been too!
We parked in a river spot , and it was such a wonderful location, bathrooms right across a field, nice big playground, room for our motorhome, jeep, and hybrid van to charge ! Access to fishing right at our site and disc golf across from our camper !
This was such a gem of a site. I couldn't believe it was available as late as we reserved it. Only 20-30 minutes from the National Lakeshore and reserved for $8 on Recreation.gov.
No hookups, no trash, no water, but so worth it for the landscape and isolation.
It's right on a gorgeous lake, and you're the only ones there. Perfect place to set up camp!
Love the campground but very strong gas smell. Hopefully will subside and I won’t get sick…headache etc but smell is in my camper since there is a nice breeze had windows open.
The campground is very nice….other campers friendly.
I am at electric site but not using it. Could not put my rv ambulance in tent spot.
Bathrooms are very clean…showers free!
Right on the water. Very beautiful!
Gas smell is only down side.
Luckily was for only the first night.
Looks Like this, Campground has been remodeling for years. A lot of kids won’t need a lot of work. Do you only reason we stayed was for a shower But the shower design was small and water everywhere
Been here twice and everytime was amazing. The place is super clean, the people are kind, the view is unbelievable. We will come again.
Au Train is a very scenic area with a great lake. Caught fish off shore. Sites are large. There is a spigot on a little well house to fill your camper. You need to bring your own hose. No dump station but sign on well house states you can dump at nearby campground for free with proof of stay. Overall great time. Only negative is that the little day use swimming area isn't well maintained. Grass is nearly knee high.
We got a beautiful site right on the lake - big back-in with full hookups. If you’re not lucky and end up in the middle sections, just be aware that the water/electric hookups can be a bit tricky. (Hint - make sure to have extra cord and hoses.) Otherwise this is a perfect location right on the lake, about a 6 minute drive to all the attractions in town, clean and well-maintained. Will definitely return if the right site is available! At&T and T-Mobile service was fine, plus there’s passable WiFi.
Kewadin Casino Manistique? is a hidden gem in Michigan! This place has an incredible atmosphere for gaming and entertainment. The variety of games is mind-blowing, from slots to card tables. Also, the staff is super friendly and always willing to help you, and don't forget to try the food in the restaurant, it's delicious! But hey, if you are in Argentina and you prefer to play from the comfort of your home, I recommend you to try Casinoenlineahex.com/casinos-online/tarjeta-de-debito/. It is an excellent option to enjoy your favorite games online, don't miss it!
20 amp hookups on the grass, 30 on the pavement. $20 and $25. Park and pay at the gift shop. $5 back with receipt if you get a rewards card. Electric hookups only.
Love the Munising area. Lots of waterfalls and close to pictured rocks. Nice facilities and great location. Fire ring is provided at each campsite and was clean of debris. Sites were large and easy to back into; big rig friendly! wood is available for purchase.
Went here on a road trip with my parents in their camper. Nice spot! Picnic table and nice sturdy fire pit is provided at each site. wood is available for purchase at the office. Site had a paved pad with gravel surrounding. Bathroom facility was clean.
Nice little campground. I would not bring any big rigs into it. Right on the river
Really nice USFS campground, one of our favorites. Some sites are reservable in advance and some are FCFS, but if the reservable ones are free when you arrive you can still take the spot.
The sites are nicely marked with incoming reservations, so we were able to get a spot and pay for two nights up front. Cost is $22/night. Vista Recreation runs this campground, so checks are to be made out to them. Host on site.
Vault toilets and trash dumpsters (no recycling) here, as well as a dump station and a potable water fill, which I don’t think I’ve seen at a USFS campground before. That was a nice surprise.
Really easy access off the main road.
Good ATT service, Verizon showed two bars but service was very slow.
Sites are well spaced apart and have varying levels of privacy. Some are more out in the sun than others, so if you need sun for solar there are some sites that would work. Spots # 9 and 10 are the primo lake view sites - wow. Lake beach access is easy, especially from the 1-28 (i believe) loop. This loop is also more tree-ed and green than the 29-50 loop.
Sites are mostly level or at least fixable with levelers. Overall, amazing campground!

Large, flat, dirt parking lot for snowmobilers in the winter. No other signage re: overnight parking. We stayed here in August on a rainy day and it was just us (in a 26ft motorhome) and a van lifer here, and another car joined us in the night.
Very quiet and peaceful, beautiful flowers everywhere. It’s hard to find free camping in this area so we’re happy this is here. Quiet overnight but I apparently slept through some ATV race going on in the night.
Nothing in this lot other than a large pile of crushed rock and an old orange contraption that looks like a street sweeper. Lot was clean (no trash) and we parked along the end, in case a truck came by to pick up a load of gravel. Lot is huge - easy turnaround for larger rigs.
No other amenities, so let’s help keep it clean so that it continues to be available for a free night’s sleep.
Zero cell reception for Verizon or ATT.
Great place to stop for the night. Definitely would not suggest this place as a destination, unless you love casinos.
There are power sites along the perimeter of the parking lot, and a dump station and water fill on the way out. It’s $15/night to stay in one of these sites. If you don’t need any hookups you can stay anywhere in the center of the lot without even going in to register.
Close to the cute town of St Ignace, so this would make a good place to stay when exploring the area. No charm or pleasantness about this place, and the power sites are just really close together. But, it’s convenient and safe.
We wanted to stay here on a rainy stormy day, do some laundry, take hot showers, dump and fill, etc. They are in the Passport America program, so rates are discounted 50%, but they’re actually a few dollars higher than what’s listed in Passport America. A FHU site would be $20 with the discount, so $40 full price.
I’d recommend calling them ahead of time and not the morning of the day you’re looking to stay, like we did (and always do). We had a really hard time getting a hold of someone, but I think they had something going on that day so I don’t want to say that’s the norm. We drove to the campground hoping to just talk to someone in the office, but that didn’t work either. The husband finally called us back but by then we were in the mindset to just leave and go stay at Walmart in Escanaba for free.
The campground is really nice and low key, lots of trees, definitely nothing fancy, it’s dumpy in places, but it’s fine for us. You can get a FHU site or electric only (there is a dump station and water fill). There are also tent sites and cabins.
We had good Verizon service there and ok ATT service. There’s lake access from the campground with a $5 fee, not sure if that’s just for putting in boats though.
Note- check in is 3pm and they are really into their policy of charging $10 for an “early check-in.” There are several signs in the office stating this, and the husband made sure he told us over the phone as well, even though it would have been just an hour early.
