Northern Lights Campground

We had a terrible experience. First the bar down the street had music blaring all night. There was also music coming from the other side of the campground. We stayed an entire week and every night there was music until 2-3am. People drive through the campground for a joyride, so don't expect your kids to be able to ride their bikes. There is access to the river with small fish but no swimming area. One morning while making breakfast they mowed the grass it didn't need to be cut. They drove right on the edge of our site blowing dust all over us and in our food. The kids were running around and they almost took our kids and the neighbors dog out. Over all we will not be back and I can't give much positives.

June 28, 2024 2nd time staying here. Last year we were in the middle. We are now in 7 and it is a nice site. Even though we are backed up to two tent sites and they would have to walk thru our site to get to there’s, nobody is there. You get a glimpse of water below but foliage is heavy, blocking the beautiful view. Would like to fish but no way down there. Very quiet and tranquil, no sound of trains, planes or automobiles! Biggest downfall, the bathrooms (outhouse) is absolutely disgusting! Please, somebody get the pump truck and thoroughly clean this! Our hunting camp outhouse has never been pumped and 70 years old and clean! Cable tv for the main channels are good. Don’t expect cell service! Last year I had ATT and had none but wife has T-Mobile and was spotty. I now have T-Mobile also and have 1 bar so also very spotty and slow. Her for 2 nights and the weather is perfect after rain when we arrived last night. 50’s to 70’s but still some clouds.

Quite campground with a great access to the river. Clean toilet.

We stayed a week and it was too long. There were kids on 4 wheelers and dirt bikes that were not campers, tearing around and going in and out of the campground until way after midnight. No one patrols it and they must know it. After regular working hours it started and seemed never ending. We were in # 8 and they had to ride past us every time to get back to their “party” spot. Would not recommend this place to anyone that wants to get any sleep. And 5:00am the trucks started hauling. So dissatisfied and disappointed

Very nice campground! Very tranquil quiet and private. We stayed in pull back site #6; it faces the river which is very nice. We stayed over labor day weekend, all other campgrounds were booked and found this charmer on accident and glad we did. Our site was paved with water and power hookup (pull back site). Nice fire pit with grilling grates. Very clean grounds. No attendants on duty. Located in historic Republic mining town along the river. Town doesn't have much going on. About 30 minutes from Marquette Michigan for big box shopping needs. Next to bike / atv trails and river for fishing. If looking for private tent sites this campground has very secluded private sites available. You really feel separated from your neighbors. We stayed with 3 kids. While their are no pools or entertainment they kept busy exploring the surrounding forest.
