Loved it! Secluded campsites, far enough apart, but all close to the amenities. The atmosphere is real, down to earth camping. There were lush groves of mature and beautiful trees at every campsite, perfect for hammocking. This campground is located in the manistee national forest, and is absolutely gorgeous. The wildlife is neat too. We heard owls all night!
The managers are friendly, and helpful.
A plus is the fire pits with attached grills at every site!
Located on lake Mitchell, with a fishing dock, as well as many trailheads nearby.
About 10 minutes from downtown Cadillac, and the main beaches.
Overall, a much better campground then Mitchell state park. Which looked like a parking lot in comparison.
Cheeper too! 16$ a night compared to Mitchell state park which was about 40$.
And the DNR isn’t up your butt.
:) awesome trip!
