Most RV parks in this region require advance reservations during summer months, with holiday weekends filling months ahead. Dump stations are available at Northern Bear Paw, Secord Lake Campground, and several state parks within driving distance. Cell coverage varies significantly between parks, with stronger signals closer to Standish and spotty service in more remote locations. Pet policies generally allow dogs on leashes, though some parks restrict certain breeds. Several campgrounds feature sanitary dump stations, though not all offer sewer hookups at individual sites. One camper noted that "the sites are mostly flat more so on the eastern loop" at nearby Sleeper State Park, which accepts RVs but offers only electric hookups. Winter camping options remain limited, with Northern Bear Paw among the few year-round facilities in the region.

"Pretty basic campground with paved sites and a nice lake. Not much space, trees or privacy. Looked like most of the sites were longer term/workers. Clean restrooms, showers and laundry."
LegendDespite no privacy between sites, I was really impressed with the amount of trees in the campground, still giving the place a woodsy feel. Really nice day use area with a sandy beach, too.
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....
TravelerThe 2 good things about this campground was the full hook up & the large site size. However, my site & a few surrounding sites smelled like sewage from the moment I stepped out of my truck. I couldn't sit outside to enjoy the "fresh" air or open my windows. The picnic table was backed against utility boxes, & the fire pit was within a few feet of the camper behind me. Supposedly there are 3 dog beaches. I found 1 that was a tiny spot with a little bit of sand. I walked over a mile to the park's edge following signs for another dog beach. It didn't exist. Dog beaches are not marked on the map.
TravelerVehicle broke down in mr pleasant so we parked our RV here the quietest campground I’ve ever been to ever . I’ve been here about a week haven’t met any camp staff booked our site online very clean nice restrooms showers
TravelerVisiting relatives in St Louis. Church campground with almost level sites, grass. Friendly staff and helpful. Clean and well maintained. Water and electric, no full hookup, but have dump station.
GuideWe spent a wonderful week at Port Crescent State Park and absolutely loved our stay. We were fortunate enough to land one of the few full-hookup sites, and we ended up on one of the best sites in the campground, backed up to a beautiful waterway. Only negative was the slope, needed more leveling blocks than we had.
The wildlife was a constant highlight. We had geese, swans, and all kinds of other birds and wildlife right outside our site. It really added to the experience.
The entire campground was immaculate. Staff were constantly making rounds, cleaning, and keeping everything looking great. The beach was also within an easy walk from pretty much any site, and it was beautiful. The water and beach were very clean, and the breeze coming off the lake made it easy to spend the entire day there.
We also enjoyed walking down to the public beach and going a little farther beyond it with our family and dogs. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the lake.
Overall, Port Crescent was one of our favorite stops. Beautiful campground, great beach, excellent staff, and an awesome setting. We would definitely come back.
TravelerFirst time staying here. It was quiet and peaceful. There was a larger group by the lake that had a 'really good time' into the night, but zero issues with all the laughter. There were handicapped picnic tables and nice fire rings, but someone in a scooter or wheelchair might have issues with the slopes/dirt. Vaulted facilities were clean but hand sanitizer was empty on both sites. Lake was nice, pretty shallow in the swimming area but the vaulted facility next to it was pretty smelly... even when walking past on the road.
GuideSmall and quiet campground with around 20 sites. Most sites are quite private and nice size. Vault toilets were well maintained and very clean. Five minute walk to the visitor center and trails. 242 stairs down to the lake and wanigan. Very historical area for the lumberman.
ScoutEvidently we are too loud for all the other guests at 8:00 at night so the park rangers had to come up and quiet us down three times and we barely have the radio even up where we could hear it in our campsite they take care of the whine bags there that's for sure
