Very rustic and in the middle of nowhere place. This small park has a beautiful lake and gorgeous views of the forest. No phone reception besides at the entrance of the park with AT&T. Very desolate and the woods seemed totally quiet.
Our trip wasn't very well planned for this off the grid place.
Great place to set up shop for the night. I always like camping in pines and near water, so it was perfect for me. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the sites are pretty close together, but it was overall a nice quiet night. $15 a night, first come first serve, no reservations. Just the way I like it.
I want to keep this place a secret, but it's really beautiful. We stayed 2 nights. It's self registration- first come, first serve - $15/night (cash). There were about 12-14 sites total - all on the lake. There is a very nice boat ramp just past the campground turn-in. Absolutely beautiful...easy access to Crisp Point (which is a must-see). The camp host provided maps and local brochures which proved extra helpful with no cell service. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. There are 2 pit toilets (which are very clean), and a fresh water well pump. No electricity. We will absolutely be back.
11 miles off the paved road, washboard dirt roads. Go slow and take your time. No electricity or dump stations, one water pump. Remote and beautiful. Not for a fancy RV, or if you want a luxury campground. We loved no cell service, great fishing, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, no artificial lights or noises. The night sky was amazing. Great place to get away from it all. No reservations, and only maybe 15 sites, but if you can nab one, it’s worth the drive.
The best camping experience of my life. I've been to many state campgrounds and this is the cleanest, peaceful most relaxing place in Michigan! Waking up and watching the sun rise on the lake was priceless!!! Campground host was awesome! We will go back!! ♥️♥️
