Yes there is a trailer park across the canal, but it was the best experience as campers we have ever had. It's quiet, the bathrooms are always clean, the showers are hot. The canal gives water sports people the option to go to Lake Huron or to Tawas Lake. We took the Lake Huron route. As a beginner kayak user, this was something we really enjoyed. The manager let us use 3 lots for our stuff, which was really nice. If we are ever in the area again, this is were we will stay. No it's not KOA, the trade off is well worth the stay. They are super dog friendly, the walk areas are always clean.
