Vault toilets were very clean with no odor, very well maintained. Great lake views. Definitely recommend hiking or driving to see the lighthouse at Peninsula Point.

@DaveM7667805 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #2

Nice place just watch for the bugs hit or miss

@TimothyH300936 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #33

Wide open area with a little beach at the bay

@ChadK016449A21 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #16

Everything would have been great except our no show camp host. Bathrooms not cleaned

@CarolT4507862 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #31

the campground host was not doing his or her job. They did not post my reservation on the post. So there was some confusion. They did not post it on my neighbors site who ended up leaving early, so I moved over there only to have folks come in with a reservation for that site. AGain no posting on the post. I would not have moved if I saw it was reserved. I had to move. Also, the toliet paper was low and not keep up with demand. And there was no firewood for sale. Geez.I have stayed many years here and this was really poor service.

My favorite campground for many years..Sites have a decent amount of privacy with most lots being wooded, except Twin Springs loop. Twin springs loop has a gorgeous view of Little Bay De Noc. There are a lot of trees that could be cleaned up to allow easier backing in of a camper to the sites. Bathrooms are brand new for 2024, they are outhouses. This is a non electric campground. The Oaks loop does not have easy access to the beach, there is a set of stairs that lead down a steep hill to a trail to get to it.

@RandyS7957196 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #22

All Loop sites are clean and nice

@MarkV8262617 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #29

We have visited this NF Campground several times now. Sites are well spaced out, some have paths to the water. Several hiking trails in the area, and accross the bay Gladstone and Escanomba. Nice place to relax too.

@DaveR6869053 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #15

Love the new bathrooms!!

@GregS1457823 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #5

Fantastic campground! Very well maintained. Brand new pit toilets (summer 2024). Paved campground roads are great for biking with kids. Beautiful sandy beach is great for swimming. Definitely one of the nicest rustic campgrounds I've ever been to!

@StacyP5654820 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #7

Large site with direct access to the bay. Quiet and peaceful.

@TracyB1260578 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #31

The perfect site - I hope to go back many times. No dump for RV or water hose (so be prepared) but that will NOT stop you from having the BEST time at this campground. We have solar and our site worked perfectly - other campers had generators.

@PeggyR6CBB6E50 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #30

Very nice campground. Clean new bathrooms.

@HeidiB1808423 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #11

The remnants of one of the vault toilets were blocking our site when we arrived. We sought out the host (last site in Twin Springs loop) and he kindly pointed us to the site he had reserved for us instead. New toilets are very nice. In the past we have camped here over Memorial Day weekend but this year was one week later. There have never been as many mosquitoes as there were this year. Hopefully they've settled down since. Not much for black flies while we were there so that helped. Stonington Point lighthouse is nice to visit and was a welcome break from the bugs this year.

@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Sep 7, 2023 at Campsite #16

We stayed at group site 16 with friends. The weather was not good the first night but the next day was great weather. I like the bigger fire ring and we sat by the fire all night the first night. The next morning after breakfast we walked the Maywood trail and it was really nice. Enjoyed the information boards on the trail giving some of the history also. Very large hemlock trees on the trail. We then went to the different beaches on the peninsula. Spent the night with visitors and a beautiful fire again. Very relaxed. A couple of owls were making a lot of noise for about 15 minutes. Must of been a family disagreement. Recommend you face your RV doors away from the lake, cause if the North wind picks up its more difficult.

@BruceJ5384338 · Camped on Aug 29, 2023 at Campsite #5

Was able to adjust dates of arrival, to maximize best weather, but still had rough start campers should be sure to prepare for extreme changes.

@DeborahB541180 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #33

I had a site that was right on the water and it was fabulous! It was a very peaceful place to stay and the sunsets were gorgeous. The Bayside Trail was a pleasant walk by the water and through the woods.

@BradG2303206 · Camped on Aug 7, 2023 at Campsite #34

Campground is beautiful and the views of the water are great. Our site had a nice flat spot for the camper, great access to the water and a nice picnic table. This park is now managed by vista rec instead of the federal rangers. Im not a fan of vista rec as we ran into problems at this site and Vista rec was impossible to contact. We ended up leaving a voicemail and they called back a day later.

@JoeA9101109 · Camped on Aug 5, 2023 at Campsite #33

Beautiful campground. Toilets were pretty clean. Other than the noisy neighbors whose dog was running around and a couple generators running at other sites, it was great. We would camp there again.

@jimm7796384 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #23

Great site, large and clean

@DanielK2430073 · Camped on Jul 25, 2023 at Campsite #22

All I'm going to say is never again..

@MartinH4750228 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #5

Clean sites, plenty of room, quiet neighbors. 4.5 mile drive to get ice.

@SusanS9297654 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #22

Very nice park. Sites are large and not too close to each other. Bathrooms were very clean and well stocked

@SarahP6892621 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #30

We love this area! Iur third trip here and it gets better each time we go!

@mckinziemC6DB6 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #31

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
