Our dd was excited that she could see the McDonald’s golden arches from our site! The campground is clean & well maintained. It was easy for us to park our 35 ft trailer because the sites are large & level, but also because there weren’t any trees along the campground roads. Our kids loved that there is a pool, hot tub & bouncy pillow! This is our 2nd time staying & both were because of its convenience to ‘civilization’ not to get away from it. This time we took the opportunity to enjoy the afternoon shopping in Marquette before heading to the eastern UP the next day for a week’s stay there. It is located in town, near a Camping World & just behind some restaurants, shops, a brewpub & a hotel, but the other sides of the campground are surrounded by trees/forest because it is the UP. A great campground if you want to explore the area’s history or natural beauty, shop in Marquette or if you are checking out Northern Michigan University’s campus (about 20 minutes away). Most sites are full hookup, they also have rustic cabins & a dog play area. I’m sure we will stay here again, as it’s a short trip for us, the kids love the amenities & I’d like to explore the area for more than our usual day trips.

We love visiting the historic fort & the trail system through the park is great for a morning walk or to walk/bike to town. Some trees to maneuver around to park, but plenty of room for our 35 foot camper. There are a few in this area of the campground we fit in & all of the west extension is big rig friendly, but we like how close this part is to the lighthouse overlook & the bathhouse. We will continue to make this a yearly stay.

Nice sites, water spigot & electric are at the back of the site-we needed all 50 feet of our water hose. Discount tickets to the Mac Island ferry with shuttle pickup/drop off.

A beautiful woodsy setting with small paths for the kids to explore & a wonderful swimming beach right next door. A few sites are small & only a few have water hookup, but it is a wonderful campground.
