Very nice! Large, spread out sites with lots of mature trees. Extremely quiet. We were on site 17, toward the end of the loop. There was a trail at the back of our site that led through the trees to our own little spot on the Indian River. Some sites were nearer the river, but we really liked the size & the privacy of site 17. We enjoyed hiking the Brunos Run trail from the campground. We also hiked in the pictured Rocks (gorgeous!) and visited several beaches & lighthouses in the area. Good location for travel to Grand Marais, Munising & Marquette. & last, but definitely not least, the bathrooms were amazingly clean & not stinky.

We had a spot that was along the river and it was beautiful! This was our favorite camping spot on our trip. The only issue we had was that there was an issue with water so we had to go to a different campground to get water. We have US Cellular and had service the whole time at the campground, outside of the campground was spotty

This is one of those places you don't want to give a great review because more people will go there. But.... it is a wonderful campground with most spaces being very large and well separated. There are a few closer to each other for family camping. The restrooms were kept clean and well stocked. Water was a nice spout, not a pump. But, only one or two spots are really on the river. Most of them you have to walk down a path or two and a hill. Not a swimming campground. Tons of wood everywhere !!!! So... don't buy any. The only problem we have, and it is our personal feelings, is generators. Most campers were respectful and ran theirs only for an hour or two. Some even put them out into the woods to muffle the sound. But... there were those who chose to run them all day and into the evening, Just so they could keep the decorative tiki lights shining with no thought to their neighbors. This is not a generator free campground. Lots of tent campers who did not need them. 95% of the campers were super quiet with a few exceptions of very loud groups around the fires. Just go talk with the host if it goes past 10PM. Went kayaking right from the campground and it was gorgeous. Tons of dirt roads to ride bikes on. Another great thing was it is only a half mile off FH13, but the road is paved !!! As is the road around the campground, which was also great to walk around at night before turning in. You only hear traffic on this rarely used road once in a while. All in all, a great place to camp.
