    Quiet, Well maintained, campground

    Came to town for Blues Fest. Basically, just slept there. Grounds were well maintained as was the restrooms and showers. Met the staff every morning finishing their daily cleaning. Showers had plenty of hot water. Has a family rest room and shower with changing table and handicap accessible shower in addition to men and women restroom/showers. Had lots of shady campsites. Sites have electric but no water hook-ups, picnic table and firepit. Has WIFI, and I had no problem using my Verizon service.

    Park has a day beach on a small adjacent lake. Campground bit more populated than campgrounds where I normally stay, but quiet. Also has access to numerous biking opportunities. Well suited for family camping. Didn't encounter any insect problems.

    I was there Labor Day weekend. My site cost $40. per night which was a bit more than I'm used to spending but I was surprised to even get reservation so close to a holiday weekend.  

    Check-in is at 3:00, You can check-in early for an additional $10. fee, Checkout is at noon.

    Pleasant, peaceful campground.

    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

    Great campgeound

    We are not a big state park fan as, in Michigan, there are very close sites and tons of noise. This one was relatively quiet. The site were the standard Michigan close but the campgeound was t full and there many options to choose from. The lake is real nice and the beach area is clean, spacious and it has a general store that has firewood for sale. We first reserved a rustic site, then changed to an electrical hook up site after arriving. The ranger was very accomodating.

    Well Kept Campground

    This reservation only campground was well kept and close to amenities in Gwinn like their city park and diners. The full hookup sites were well marked but not a lot of shade and septic hook up was far back. There is a dump site on premise so we utilized that. Tent sites are well shaded and secluded from each other. Tenants were amazing and hiking trails were beautiful. The weather was too cold to swim but the beach area would be nice with warmer weather.

    Amazing views!

    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.

    Serenaded by snoring

    I’m a very simple camper used to having space and quiet…this was not the best time to pass through for an overnight. I arrived and the campground was so loud with people and kids shouting. There is zero privacy (they pack you in) so be sure to get a spot along the edge where you’ll at least have trees. I was very surprised and grateful how respectful everyone was of the quiet hrs…other than snoring and some traffic it was quiet. On a positive, the pit toilet was really clean and spacious. And the ranger at check in was so nice.

    BEWARE of owner!

    Beware! I booked this campground over a year ago. I had to change plans due to family matter which prevented us from visiting this campground. I spoke with Jeff in October and he said not an issue and would refund my money. After multiple phone calls, he still hasnt refunded my money. He is now refusing to take my calls. Jeff is a liar, cheat and dishonest owner that shouldnt be trusted. If he turns this problem around I will update. We visited Gitche Gumee RV Park, no overnight stay. UPDATE: Jeff still refuses to talk to me. He is the worst Campground owner I have come across in my 3 1/2 yrs of full timing.

    Quick getaway

    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.

    Great campground, with the right site….

    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.

    Fabulous USFS campground

    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!
