Staff was friendly and helpful. Store well stocked. Bathroom was spacious. I’m sure the showers started clean but with only 3, they got not so clean by the time I got to take one. Sites are close but the few trees in between make a big difference and make the sites work well. The pool is basic, but heated and my kids enjoyed. THANK YOU for closing it at 9- otherwise camping next to it could have been very off putting. Quiet at night thankfully. The smell of weed was pervasive- a turn off for my family (starting at 9 am?!) smoking weed is NOT legal in public spaces in MI- so should be shut down. Location i thought was great- close to pictures, town & grocery store.
Steve (owner?) was always helpful. Also, when no one else was in the building or laundry mat, he allowed me to bring in my dog. (This was especially helpful as I was traveling solo, the dog is a personal guard dog that barks non-stop if separated, and it was hot outside.) This campsite was all around a nice place to take a break from our weeks' long road trip. Note: All but the sites near the office are shaded and the Internet is strong.
It all depends on the site that you've been. We were assigned to the small corner site near the pool. It was hard to fit the tent(12x16) and truck. It was noisy because of the pool just in front of you, no trees or shrubs. The site was muddy, sometimes because of the overflown pool. Restrooms available only at one location and at the end(front) of the campsite. So, traveling with RV and parking on large wooden sites in the middle of campground would change the experience, but in our case it was mixed experience. Overall location looks a little bit old and outdated. Convenience store definitely is a bonus, of you forgot some cables, rugs, etc. Frash coffee at the morning also a good thing to start your day. Location is good.
Good location just outside Munising, MI. We had a nice spot with water and electricity. Pool looked clean but we didn't try it. Wish there was a hot tub or spa. Big dog run and several trails to walk our dog.
Keep in mind this is a Journey KOA, so it’s not a Holiday experience. The amenities are basic—a decent heated pool, park, a dog trail, good WiFi, and cable (don’t forget to bring a coax). What really stood out to us, and why we gave this place 5 stars, was the excellent customer service and the convenient location. We stayed for a week in lot 27, with full hookup. It is clean, has a nice picnic table and fire pit. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, Glenda, Steve, and Lauren were all incredibly friendly, informative, and accommodating. Glenda made our check-in process smooth and provided us with plenty of helpful information since it was our first visit to the UP. I witnessed Lauren handle a difficult customer with such calmness and respect, even though the issue wasn’t the KOA’s fault. When we first arrived, our lot wasn’t a good fit, but Steve accommodated us with a better spot even though the campground was practically full. We know not always possible but that effort really made a difference for our family. Steve is particularly great at ensuring the park's safety; when some kids were roughhousing at the park, he respectfully intervened & put a stop to it. I appreciated knowing that they try & keep it safe and family friendly. All in all, I recommend this KOA and would definitely stay here again! Thank you KOA team!
I stayed Memorial Day Weekend 2025 and really enjoyed the KOA. Minutes from town. A few more minute from the National Lake shore. Good laundry and showers. Good hookups at our site also. I had some FedEx shipments arrive without problem.
This was yet another great KOA stay. The gentleman at the desk was a great guy to chat with and was a wealth of knowledge. Most of the sites look very shady and even though we got a tent site with no hookups or water it was a great back in spot for the van.
I stayed at this KOA in October 2024 during the fall foliage season. Like every KOA I have been to, it was clean, spacious, and had friendly hosts. They were kind enough to post my check-in envelope outside when they found out I would be arriving late that night. The restrooms were immaculate. Saw great views of the aurora borealis that night too. This is undoubtedly the best campground in Alger County, and I will be certain to return. Highly recommended!
Munsing is heaven to witness fall colours. Pristine upper Michigan lake, Pictured rocks national parks are to be seen and feel . Must visit while in USA. Visited with wife, Daughter and son in law. Stayed in two bedroom appartment infront of lake . The cool breeze is mesmerising.
Staff is great. Camping spots well maintained and most are level. Definitely will stay here again in the future.
