This really is a hidden gem for the most part. There are 4 drive-through camp sites 2 by the lake & 2 on top. Outhouses are some of the cleanest. People, for the most part, respect other campers. but idiots are everywhere. There are 2 complaints I have
1. They really NEED to get out there (DNR) & cut the dead trees & the massive amounts of dead trees branches & widow makers right Above where campers would park their travel trailers, mobile homes, 5th wheels, trucks/cars, or even tents . & I'd hate to hear that someone was hurt or killed & the state / township gets sued, & the camp ground closed. (I seen a few huge branches on the ground where our camper would have been. & and definitely would have gone right through its roof.. oh yes idk but I may drop a star because every campsite we check out is dirty with empty bottles, fast food wrappers, plastic bottle caps, cigarette butts.l, Chop bags, fountain drink cups, ect. If you bring a rake with your camping gear you can rake up the trash I n no time.
. Just remember put that trash with your own trash when you leave because there are no trash cans In the park..There is a manual water well pump for water just before the first campsite $20 per night , put your check & registration slip/envelope in the green pole with a cut out to slide your money & registration in. Do not put your envelope in n the black mailbox that is only for unused envelopes to be used by future campers.
Quiet, peaceful, small (16 sites) campground on the shore of Little Lake with boat launch and small sand beach. Sites vary in size from little tent only sites to large pull thru sites for the big rigs . No hookups, picnic table and fire pit at each site. Vault toilets and hand pump well available.
This is a campground for a holes. If you like to play loud music at 1am and run a generator 24/7, this is the place for you. There's also blaring train horns at 7 and 8am to make sure you don't get a full night of sleep.
Pretty great place to camp except there were no hookups at our camp site for electric to our camper. I have a generator but usually if you are staying at a campground it's because you want something like that. I was a little surprised but beautiful, peaceful and a great place to camp.
