Customer Reviews
Great little campground! We needed a one-night stay and they welcomed us with open arms! Actually, they were having a campground potluck and immediately invited us to join them, even though we had nothing to contribute. Such friendly people. Hot showers, laundry, clean bathrooms. Cash only-$32.00 a night!
Nice campground but they let people run generators all night..
Great location. Fire wood (dry and burns) ice, and ice cream sold on site. Swimming and fishing were great! Lots of play structures for kids. Camp operators were very friendly. Electric sites, clean bath house, washers and dryers on site. Quite park.
Helpful and friendly staff. Very quiet despite being near the highway. We would stay there again. It was a nice "base camp" for visiting the Soo.
Impressive. Stayed two nights. Very well kept campground.
