    Cando

    Great Fund

    Campground is actually located a few hundred yards away from location shown on the Dyrt site. It is located by the Cando golf course. Hookups as well as primitive. Bathrooms with running water and showers.

    The Haven Campground

    Great stop!

    If you want a beautiful, relaxing, quiet stop then you'll love this place. It's full hookups with a picnic table, fire ring and trash can at each site. They have four rental RVs if needed. Horseshoes, volleyball, a free travel library with sitting room, firewood, lots of open space to play Frisbee with your pups. The town of Harvey isn't far and has everything you need. Definitely worth the stop!

    Grahams Island State Park Campground

    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

    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.

    Red Willow Lake Resort

    Drove through

    I didn't stay but was exploring the area and tripped across this place. Adorable. I would have stayed but couldn't figure out how. It was Memorial Day weekend and they didn't seem open yet. I think they are set up for summer music festival sorts of weekends and I bet they do that well. Worth a visit back when they are open.

    Binford Park Campground

    Cute

    I didn't spend the night but stopped on my drive past. 3 little cabins which were reasonably priced, a handful of spots with hookups and a bathroom but no shower. Cute and would be a fine stop on a weekend trip through.

    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

    Grahams Island State Park Campground

    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.

    Grahams Island State Park Campground

    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.

    Nice Little Campground

    We didn't stay because we wanted to get further down the road...  Electric was available.  Vault toilets.  On the water.  Small park-like.  Maybe 4-5 sites...

    Grahams Island State Park Campground

    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.

    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.

    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.
