The sites on the lake are pretty private and have access to the lake. The other sites are a little wet and have no lake access. Overall nice campground, shallow lake, clean outhouses!
Beautiful campground. Close enough to temperance. Very close to tons of other lakes in the area. Wonderful place to bring your kayak. First come first serve type of campground. Friendly grounds keepers. Rustic camp ground. No running water. Quite.
Lake view sites were awesome! Pulled our canoe right up to our site. Great for fishing, close to the north shore for hiking but still feels far enough away! Will definitely be coming back ☺
This campground is a hidden gem. The lakeside sites are very large and quite private. Being right on the lake is fantastic for canoes and kayaks. Friendly host, clean facilities. Close to several state parks and a lot of lakes with east public canoe/kayak access. Very buggy (like much of the Northwoods in the summer months). Bring mosquito headnets and bug spray, and a screen tent if you plan to sit outside your tent much.
AWESOME!!! Just perfect, IF you really want to literally DISCONNECT from the world, this is the place (you will lost cell phone signal 25 mins before you arrive) bring tons of mosquitoes repellent.
