Great place to camp. Walk to the beach area and the grandkids love the playground too. The staff are friendly and so willing to help out. They keep the grounds very nice.

A little on the popular side,we wanted more seclusion. We found this quickly and set up camp fast. Very cold and windy that day, but I'm sure on a warm day,that place os the best spot around! Amazing bathroom, super nice playground, and shower houses. Perfect for family RV campers, however we were in a rooftop tent.

We were able to get a lakefront site. We enjoyed our stand up paddle boards. The best of all we took our new Ranger Polaris to the city of St. Ignace. It was a nice trail. I highly recommend doing this. When you get there stay at the Driftwood motel. They go back in the morning.

Great location, nice staff. Most of the sites get a great view of the lake with plenty of sun in the morning to dry off your tent. Trains in the night but they were pretty short.
