please call the office at 231-726-6100 for details. Thank you.
My family and I camped here for 3 nights while visiting Michigan’s Adventure, and we were very pleased. VERY cheap rates (especially in comparison to other camp grounds in the area), very quiet and the bathrooms and showers are kept very clean. It’s close enough to stores and gas stations if you need anything but set back enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of camping. Not much of a night life, lots of elderly people but with little ones that was good for us. Nice little play ground. Really the only down side is that it is close to a bad neighborhood, but we didn’t have any problems and would definitely come back again.
Do you have any seasonal sites available? If so what are your rates?
Please call the office at 231-726-6100 for availability. Thank you.

Question… I am considering getting a season launch pass instead of daily passes next season. I have one boat and trailer but several tow vehicals. Where does the sticker go.? On the trailer or truck and car..?? ….Thanks
The launch ramp sticker is only valid if it is placed on the tongue of the trailer used for launching.
When do you pull the finger docks at the launch. We would like to put the boat in until the ice forms.
Thanks,
Dennis
They usually come out right around the first part of November. This year it looks like they will come out next week.
