GuideSmall Parking lot in state hunting area. We have a 21 ft TT and were able to back in. If you can’t access the parking lot, there is a turnaround just past the lot. No water or dump. T-Mobile 1 bar. Good road. Hiking and pet friendly.
GuideWe found this park on The Dyrt. Cross country travelers needing an overnight hook up site late in the day. We've never been in this area before and called the phone number listed and someone actually answered 7pm....The answering host was extremely polite and very helpful. Beautiful little park with hookups and dump station... Nicely priced...Again the park host was an outstanding gentleman and gets my highest rating possible....
TravelerWe came at the end of the busy season so most of the water and bounce activities were closed. Not a lot of campers and have of spaced out, which kind of sucks since we are almost one of the farthest out. Place does have a lot of bees. They still have hourly/couple hour activities and they were fun! Staff was friendly as well. The golf carts are snazzy too!
ScoutThe lake is very weedy. But silver lake or Bishop lakes are close.
TravelerWe had a great stay! Didn’t enjoy any of the activities but heard they were a blast. We enjoyed the texted alerts on activities. This was our second trip with our new rv, just chilled and enjoyed. It was a bit noisy at night, it’s to be expected with children and the generation we live in today. Overall a great experience! Hope to return soon to enjoy the activities.
TravelerGreat location, right on Lake Huron. They have beach access. It is pretty quiet. This is county park. The only thing we seen was negative was people speeding down the roads. Other than that it’s a great campground, very clean, staff was very friendly. We will definitely return.
TravelerI was pleasantly surprised by this state park. I prefer camping that is more secluded and the pictures on the DNR site appeared very close together.
The North loop of the campground was very noisy and crowded. However, the South loop had more of the rustic vibe I prefer. The sites were spacious and while there weren’t trees in between each site, there were trees lining between each row that backed up to each other.
The beach is a bit rocky so beach shoes are recommended. The rocks are well worth the seclusion on the south side of the beach.
I will definitely be back to this campground!
TravelerStaff was very nice when we need help and had questions. Campsites were clean. Spaces were a little tight and the fire pits had holes in the bottom that caught the grass on fire. If your interested in wifi, its slow and sucks.
TravelerIts huge! It has everything a family could want!

Sites in the Trillium loop receive particular praise for their natural setting.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses matter to many campers. One visitor to Wolverine Campground noted, "Campground is well maintained with picnic tables, and fire rings."

Campsite spacing varies significantly: Some campgrounds offer more privacy than others. At Addison Oaks County Park, campers appreciate that "spot #18 I felt was spacious and not too close to the people next to us and trees behind us," as Karen C. reports.
