Grahams Island State Park Campground
Beautiful park with boating access and beach
Well kept park. We stayed in the Ziebach campground. It has trees, water and electricity. There is another campground with full h/u but no shade and costs more. There is also fully shaded primitive tent camping on the water. There is a sanitary dump and small store. Great shower house. Very clean and quiet. Many boaters there is a ramp there.

Michigan City Park Campground
A great little find
Great little find in a small cute town called Michigan. There are four sites that have electric and several sites for tent camping or dry camping. Right next to a little golf course that we played. Campground was great. Level spots but golf course left a little to be desired. The greens were Astroturf, which were a little hard. Everything was kind of on the honor system as you can see in the golf sign. You can stay there for free, but I thought it was nice to leave a little cash to help with the electric bill.

Nice Campground in Devils Lake Area
This is a nice State campground in the Devils Lake Area. It has wooded and semi private sites in the primitive tent area. One part of the camper trailer area can be fairly wide open. Great place to launch your boat, fish station to clean your catch and nice swim area and playground for the kids. Devils Lake area itself can be somewhat of a boring area unless you love fishing

Hidden Gem
The residents of Michigan are incredibly welcoming. The Duffers Golf Club next to campground is inexpensive, unique and even has clubs available for free use! The members were having a tournament and invited us to join them after our round for an amazing steak dinner and conversation. We just stopped on our way west and can’t say enough about the hospitality. The campground is clean, has 4 electric spots and was the busiest it has ever been with 9 campers, 2 tents, 2 camper vans, 4 motor homes or buses and our travel trailer. There is a fire pit, horseshoes and a playground around the corner. We will be back our next trip west on Hwy 2.

We stated at Graham’s Island the first part of October. No crowds to speak of. Nice trails friendly staff. Would like to return with the paddle boards when the weather is nicer.

Lovey
Open year round. Per Ranger Water is available year round on sites 1-6, but won’t show up on website. Sites by online reservation only. Arrived about 8pm. Maybe 6 other campers, mostly fishermen. Beautiful place, lovely campgrounds. Electric only at this time. Pit toilets. No water. All sites are spacious and level with gravel pad and grassy lawn. Lots of pull through sites. One night only for us. $42.00 4-27-24

A super tidy, private place
Howard campground has giant, shaded, very private spots. We could barely see our neighbors. Our site had pasture land behind all the trees, and the sunsets were amazing.
We loved the dog park and mowed trails. Most of the park was immaculate. From the mowing of the grass to the cleaning of the shower house.
Our only 2 gripes were that 1) there are no dumpsters in Howard campground. You have to drive/walk your trash out to the dump station. And 2) the deep toilets weren’t cleaned. Poop appeared on the floor the second day of our stay. That poop remained for the entire week. Toilet paper was replenished and trashes were dumped, but the poop remained.

Busy, Friendly, Accomodating
We were originally going to spend two nights at Grahams, but we enjoyed the island vibe and decided to add two additional nights to our stay. The park was full, but managed to place us in a few different sites! We were totally fine with packing up the camper and moving around, it gave us more experience and reason to work on our communication and process. There was a large influx of fisherman and a large boat ramp. We wanted to swim, but stuck with walking in the water as the swim area was busy with the sun shine.

Grahams Island State Park Campground
neat park
wonderful little stay for a wedding weekend at the campground event center. camped in primitive spot and we're pleasantly surprised by the large size of our spot. easy to pick a more private, or communal spot as you prefer. bath houses are kept clean and are rather nice. dog park is nothing more than a little fenced off piece of ground, but gets the job done and allows for off leash time. the event center is really nice with kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor seating, and playground. lots to do at this lake campground. staff was very helpful and accommodating with the event and camping.
there was smoke blown from the wild fires during our visit. made for some interesting sunrises and sunsets.

Fish fish fish
This park is on an island in the middle of a beautiful huge lake. You just drive out over a bridge, very pretty. If you don’t want to camp you can use it just to launch your boat for a day of fishing or use their very easy hiking trails. Close to the reservation and various Native American cultural areas.
Yay: shady trees, huge sites, some sites are fairly private, really clean.
Nay: kinda in the middle of nowhere, some sites are extremely open and sunny, not great for swimming.
Surprise: There can be flooding. In the winter I believe they have cross-country skiing?

We were there early in the season, but it was very quiet and well kept. We arrived late in the day and the directions were clear.

Well kept park
Stayed one night, 10/15/22 on a road trip. Not as close to the 2 as I expected but it wasn’t a bad drive, even at dark. It was a 7$ fee to enter, and a separate online transaction for a campsite and they charged a processing fee. But seeing as many campsites are closed in October we were just happy to be there. Very large campsite. Driving around all the campsites had reserved tags hung on them, but online they were available and there were no people in any of the sites? We stayed in the Primitive camp, down to the water and off to the left. The camp was a little confusing to negotiate at night, but after a couple of missed roads we found a spot. Fire pit and picnic table. There seemed to be plenty of trees for wind protection and privacy. There was a fenced in DOG PARK, which was AWESOME! Lots of amenities for the in season camper, we still had access to the vault toilets, and water was available up by the camp store but we only knew that because we waited until the morning and asked the person running the camp store.

Fisherman’s Paradise
If you enjoy fishing, this is the place for you. The park is located on Devil’s Lake which is a fisherman’s paradise regardless of time of year. The park office resembles more of a fishing store than it does a park office, and the fish cleaning area was always full with people and their catch from that day. We stayed in a very private site (primitive site 64) right next to the lake. There were plenty of trees for shade and we felt secluded even though the campground was full. There are more open areas which seemed popular with the RV crowd- 3 separate campgrounds full. There is a boat launch as well. The walk to the bathroom was a little far from our site, but the larger bathrooms near the more popular RV areas were clean and had showers.

Woodland Resort
Great campground/lodge for a fishing trip
Devils lake is a premier Walleye/Perch fishery and Woodland caters to fishermen. They have everything needed for a day on the water or ice.
Woodland gets lower marks for summer amenities not related to fishing or the lake. Ex no pool and we didn’t find a playground.
Food at the restaurant was very good.

Woodland Resort
Lake life and amenities galore
This resort only has about 16 reservable campsites and several cabins. The rest of the resort contains a massive hotel and many seasonal campsites. The sites are pretty close together which is handy if you are camping with a group, but less than ideal if you are on your own. Excellent restrooms with showers. There is a bar/restaurant and convenience store on site. If you are into lake life this is the place for you as it is conveniently located on Devils Lake which contains great fishing and lots of areas to explore. The resort contains two swimming beaches if you’d rather stay on shore. Overall, I highly recommend.

Great place to stay!
Wish we had more time to stay! The resort was very accommodating and put us near a bathhouse even with a late notice reservation. Very nice bathhouses! Quiet and clean! Very beautiful place!

Fun times!
What a beautiful and spacious campground. Nice office/bait shop, and friendly people. We had a blast camping and fishing.
Lots of activity around the campground makes it fairly noisy.
Kelley E.GuideEast Bay Campground
Campground Ruined by the Owners' Negligence and Unapologetic Attitude
While East Bay Campground boasts a stunning location on Devil’s Lake, the owners’ shocking disregard for guest concerns and lack of basic hospitality make this a place to avoid. Our experience was a nightmare due to the owner's negligence, resulting in serious damage to our property that they refused to apologize for or rectify.
Upon arrival, we noticed a large tree limb hanging over our camper. We immediately reported it, concerned that it could fall and cause damage. The office reassured us, but no one came to address it. That night, the limb fell and punctured a hole in our roof.
When we informed the owner, Bill, his response was nothing short of appalling. Instead of offering any help, showing concern, or even apologizing, he dismissed us, repeatedly telling us to"just patch it up" and actively discouraging us from filing a claim.
It took three days of persistence to obtain the necessary insurance information—still with no apology or acknowledgment of their responsibility. Another reviewer had a similar experience, reporting,"we sustained major damage to our roof from trees. When I reported this to the office, they were'sorry' but offered nothing else"(RV Life Review).
Bill’s behavior reflected a complete lack of concern, remorse, or responsibility, which was deeply disturbing, especially considering the damage could have been easily prevented. This was more than just bad customer service—it was an utter failure to demonstrate even the most basic principles of hospitality or human decency.
The campground itself lacks the attention to detail expected of a well-run facility. The shower curtains in every bathroom were 2-3 inches too narrow, leaving a gap leaving anyone taking a shower exposed. Fire ring was bent, broken and unusable. When we rented a boat and reported the anchor rope was frayed and unusable, they promised it would be replaced. But, just like with the tree limb, nothing was done.
If you stay here, be prepared to have excellent insurance and no expectations of any help, because the owners clearly don’t care.
Bill and Val only seem to offer hospitality to guests who require nothing from them and request nothing that their time or attention is needed to address with respect and kindess.
Based on our experience, they will treat you like a nuisance the moment you raise a concern. For your peace of mind, I recommend finding another campground. The beautiful views are simply not worth enduring owners who show no responsibility for their guests or property.

Great overnight spot
This little park with full utilities was a bargain when traveling through the area, right off Rte 2 and next to a store. Aimee isn’t here on site but she responds immediately to calls and texts.
