This is a sweet campground with surrounding maple woods that were SO beautiful with the changing leaves! We camped in a travel trailer with full hook up. Bathrooms were clean. Staff were very pleasant. We really enjoyed and took advantage of the short trail through the woods - walking with our dog several times a day. Easy drive to many attractions. We did the Skybridge at Boyne one morning and... This is a sweet campground with surrounding maple woods that were SO beautiful with the changing leaves! We camped in a travel trailer with full hook up. Bathrooms were clean. Staff were very pleasant. We really enjoyed and took advantage of the short trail through the woods - walking with our dog several times a day. Easy drive to many attractions. We did the Skybridge at Boyne one morning and then on through the tunnel of trees and Cross Village. Another day to Charlevoix. Close to Torch Lake.

This campground was our base for 4 days we plan to hike on the North Country Scenic Trail. Since we camped in late October, we had no crowds, but we had a clean and warm restroom with showers and a very pleasant campsite. It worked great for us and we hope to be back

Tha family and i stayed here a month ago and I still think about it. From the cozy little tent space by the woods to the swimming pool. it was great. The bathrooms were always kept up and clean. First campsite I've been to where u have water/electricity, laundry room and even a cool little area to clean your dishes. The staff was awesome and always helpful.

The staff was awesome and always helpful. The 3 days I stayed here were so relaxing that I dreaded coming back home to reality. The family and I will be back next year. You have now gained a loyal camper.

We stayed here or a week while on vacation visiting Torch lake. The campground is nice, quiet and very affordable. The pool was nice and well kept, although a little chilly.
