Came for the Halloween weekend. There are many sites on hills. It's a smaller campground, but is very long. The bathrooms are right in the middle, so be prepared for a hike if you're on the ends. There's no playground, but they do have a basketball court, gaga ball, and ladder ball. There's 8 showers, they were fairly clean. No beach, more like a grassy knoll by the "boat" launch. More for canoes kayaks and smaller fishing boats. Camp host station was pretty amazing, giving out bagels and doughnuts, coffee and such in the morning. Pumpkin painting in the afternoon and popcorn in the evening. Definitely a good place for fall camping, but would steer clear in the summer if you want a nice beach.

Love this campground! Normally very quiet, gorgeous, shady and it has no pads so you can park your camper in whatever direction you like! Just beware of the hickory trees in the fall. They will scare the snot out of you when they fall on your roof!

Incredible noise after 10.00 pm!!! Loud music, laughter, chatter. Groups with 5 cars in one place! No control, no rest periods! An absolute cheek and never experienced before in a state park!!! And we paid $49 for that? (38$ camping + 11$ state park fee). Absolutely not recommended. We have been to 4 state park campgrounds in Michigan so far and the conditions were never this bad.

We visited five Michigan State Parks in 2023. This park was our least favorite. The campsite was listed as level when I made the reservation online. We ended up having to go to Home Depot to get some cinder block halves to level the camper. Our site was absolutely NOT even close to level. The neighbors that we had on two different nights were loud talkers, and played loud music past 11:30 p.m. They only offer electricity only. No water or FHU sites. Definitely will not be back.
