Great place to camp and ride out on the trails. Weekly sites are pull thru, and have full 50 amp, water and sewer hookup. Nice bathroom / shower/ laundry facilities. Great Wi-Fi. Seasonals are all friendly cool people. Nice fun little bar with great BBQ and other food. This place was perfect for us 👍🏻

We camped here for about 5 days. It is centrally located between Munising and Manistique so it offered us the ability to customize many key points in the U.P. the campground was clean and quiet and had fire rings and picnic tables for each site. We had a full hookup for our camper, but they have a batroom/shower house that was very clean and nice to use. There is the restaurant/bar on site as well... We camped here for about 5 days.

Many stop by on side by sides and also in the winter snowmobiling. Great spot :)

We stayed a night at Jack pines while we were traveling through Michigan’s UP, it’s was a great little campground, spots were very spacious with plenty of room for our 42ft 5th wheel, lots of trees and everyone we encountered were very nice.

Had a little restaurant/bar up by the highway that supposedly has good food but didn’t try it. Apparently the campground has direct access to some ATV & SxS trails as several campers had SxS’s but all were very courteous and noise was never an issue. We ride SxS’s ourselves and never knew this was in the area, might be fun to come back and ride someday! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if in the area, it was nice.

We had an awesome time. The camp hosts Fred and Nancy were super friendly. Happy the pup host was too cute. Met some fabulous people to ride the trails with. Site 3 was a nice site close to the very clean restroom/shower house.
