Alcona Canoe Rental & Campground

Had a great experience! The ease of booking, the check in process, transportation setup - all great! My only reason for 4 stars is I wish the communication on the amount of the required cash deposit was more clearly communicated. I understood there was a deposit and the reason once explained, but knowing the amount to bring would have been helpful. Or offering the option to charge my card for any... Had a great experience!

My only reason for 4 stars is I wish the communication on the amount of the required cash deposit was more clearly communicated. I understood there was a deposit and the reason once explained, but knowing the amount to bring would have been helpful. Or offering the option to charge my card for any lost or damaged property instead. They offer an ATM in the store, however. Highly recommend! Will be back!

We have gone both the cabin route and camping sites and this is our favorite place in MI. The management of the place is spectacular. The staff is so friendly and these folks are hard workers! Clean baths and laundry facility, they keep it in order with a smile. Lovely views and well kept grounds. Almost don't want to leave a review and keep the place a secret, but that wouldn't be fair.

Things have grown and improved so much since back in the day. Canoeing nearby. Swimming. Quiet great place to bring the kids away from the world and devices.

The park is massive but feels like a small campground since all of the different areas are spread out all around the lake. They have a variety of types of spots, including full service, modern, semi modern, rustic, water front and deep in the woods, nightly and seasonal. Showers and bathrooms central to each area of the park and many "outhouses" all throughout. Fishing is great and water is beauti...

Very nice campground. My only complaint is you need to buy tokens to use the showers. The full hookup side is clean, nice firepit with built on grills The grill is almost useless it covers half the firepit but is so low the only way to cook on it is with only coals or possibly bank the fire. It was quiet even during the day. I was told by someone who stays there all the time that the modern si... Very nice campground. My only complaint is you need to buy tokens to use the showers.

It was quiet even during the day. I was told by someone who stays there all the time that the modern side (electric only) is the rowdy side music playing and campfires going well into the night. At our site we had a fire going till about 11:30 each night and never saw anyone else with one going that late. Most sites have shade. Some sites look to be full shade ans secluded with trees on 3 sides. The pull through sites have a view of the lake. There is no beach but there's docks where you can tie up your boat
