Boaters will find direct river access at Waterways Campground, a privately managed facility on the Cheboygan River operating from May through November. The campground accommodates RVs up to 60 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus amenities like showers, WiFi, and a dump station.
Campers can tie boats directly at their sites and access over 40 miles of biking trails from the property. The grounds feature small apple trees and a dog park, with well-maintained bathrooms that reviewers consistently praise for cleanliness. A bridge over the Cheboygan River provides walking access, and the campground maintains what one visitor described as a "homey feel." Cell service and wireless coverage work reliably throughout the property.
The access road can present challenges, with some campers noting rough conditions. "Check in was great and the host was very friendly and helped me with all my questions," reports Byron S., who also appreciated the peace and quiet. Sites cost $30-41 per night with reservations available, and pets are welcome. The facility serves as a launching point for exploring campsites near Cheboygan or visiting nearby Cheboygan State Park Campground for a different state park experience.
