Rippling Rivers RV Resort

Large sites overall. Very clean bathroom. Nice pool/hot tub and a small bar (wine/beer) at the front reception area, with public fire pit.

New and nice

This campground is in town with the bike trails to one side and Marquette mountain ski hill. Wonderful fishing salmon and brook trout galore. It has a small put put golf, pool, camp store and large clean bathrooms and showers. WiFi! If you are in to biking amazing trails this stop is for you. The cabins are very clean and super nice. 

Awesome

Rippling Rivers Resort is new addition to an area that lacked a decent campground.

  

Amenities include bathhouses and shows (which have code locks on them), shared water access, picnic tables, fire pits, campstore with bar, and access to an outdoor pool and hot tub.

  

We stayed at one of the walk-in tent sites and also had the pleasure of enjoying the Carp River. The river was about 10 fee away from our site.

  

The staff is extremely friendly, to both people and dogs. I was very impressed with how dog friendly this location is. Even the other campers were respectful of each other.

  

Our tent location was entirely shaded and made it feel as though we were camping in a forest. 

  

The downsides. The tent sites were too small and not level. We had a very hard time finding a place to put our tent.  The sites were also very close together. Our neighbors were backed right up to use.   
  
As mentioned above, the shower/bathhouse requires a code to access it. It was kind of weird. And made it a challenge if you had to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.   
  
Parking was very limited. Not a problem if you have only one vehicle, but we had two. One of us had to park on the other side of the campground, which became an inconvenience.

An Okay Place for Modern Camping

Stayed here while visiting Marquette! 

Honestly, the campground is not the best. Most sites too open.

We did enjoy the pool and hot tub... plus the walk up bar with pizza. They also have a deck and patio to hang out at. There is an area down by the creek with chairs. 

A walking trails meanders by the creek.

The best part was the  3/4 mile ish trail that goes up to the Marquette Mountain. We walked up at night (bring flashlights!!!) and the view was breathtaking! We overlooked all of Marquette and the stars were incredible!!

Love the UP

If you love mountain biking or hiking you stay here. Period. You are right on the trails. Bathrooms and showers are nice. If you have little ones the grom trail rims next to the top camp site. We love going here.

Our favorite place to camp

This campground is only a few years old and therefore not a lot of shady RV spots. But it is very well equipped. Wifi is great, cell service strong, nice bathhouses with laundry, an amazing store with pizza and bar/alcohol, a pool and hot tub (not exactly warm), and easy in/out.  Outdoor seating by a stream and fire. There are a few sites that don’t look super level but ours is perfect for our fifth wheel. Trash dumpsters at front of site and there’s even a dump clean out there. The only negative is the septic drain slightly higher than normal. You may need something rigid to allow proper fall.￼ It’s a great campsite!

Well done!

Rippling River is a really nice campground, very close to downtown Marquette and right in/on a huge mountain bike park. There is a bar with pizza, beer, wine and a fire pit, a pool and a river running along the edge. Some of the sites are shaded - ours wasn't, but it didn't matter because the weather was very temperate when we were there. There is a really nice little path along the river in the campground and a great hike that goes to Morgan Creek Falls across the highway. We loved the Marquette area. Nice bike paths, breweries, restaurants, health food stores, etc. We also loved visiting Pictured Rocks.

Great campground in the Upper Peninsula

Great sites, Friendly staff and close to the water. Stayed there in the early spring so water lines sometimes frozen. Sites are large, clean and level. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Superb

Great campground with a variety of options to stay. Full hook up, luxury cabins, rustic cabins, electric sites, walk in tent sites. Location is perfect. Only wish would be that they add more bathrooms/shower rooms. Can be long waits in the morning/evenings.
