The campground hosts doing an AMAZING job of keeping the campsites clean and the outhouse bathrooms were spotless clean!!!
@Christoph38781 · Camped on Sep 17, 2025 at Campsite #31
Beautiful, spacious sites with nice view and access to the bay. Spotlessly clean, and wonderful hosts.

Very peaceful. Love the sunsets over the bay.My brothers and I already have a site picked out for next year.Very close to Stonington Lighthouse to see the monarchs!

Beautiful campground! Outstanding Camp Host, nicely updated vault toilets and very good water spigots (conveniently located). Easy access to supplies in either Gladstone or Escanaba. The individual sites are large, nicely wooded, fairly level. Highly recommended!
@BruceJ5384338 · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #3
The camp sites are clean and the grounds are excellent.
@PatriciaM16546 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #31
Beautiful site, easy entry, clean toilets. Happy we stayed here.

Little Bay De Noc has a relaxed, comfortable feel. It has spacious, well maintained rustic campsite sites with mature trees offering privacy between sites. Parking fairly east with room to maneuver, some sites have concrete pads. Camp ground Hosts are friendly, helpful with a wealth of local information of things to see and do. There is firewood available at host site. Suggest filling your water tanks before arrival as water access is only from artesian well in the Twin Springs Loop. The privative bathrooms are very clean, checked several time per day. No sanitary dump facilities.

The trees in the camping area are beautiful. It was a little difficult to actually get down to the water with all the brush and cattails growing along the edge of the bay. You can hear trains and boats blowing their horns all night long. The vault toilets were very clean and were kept well stocked and deodorized during our entire visit. The trails were fun to walk and we heard all sorts of birds we hadn't encountered before, including an owl right over our tent during the night! The little grocery store down the road from the campground was closed. Come prepared - food and snacks are a few miles away...

A great place to stay if you like hiking and fishing. Their is more lakes and ponds than you could fish in a lifetime.
@MirandaC589245 · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #22
Just a quiet little slice of heaven. I love this rustic campsite! We will be back.
@MelissaK867058 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #34
We try to be considerate when using our generator but there was a camp site that was using theirs almost 24/7. We go for peace and quiet not to listen to that. We love the campground otherwise, we have been coming every year for 5 years. Will be back because one bad year doesn't stop us from loving it but that was awful. The hosts were made aware of it.
@SandraM1586460 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #30
Lovely park tucked in a pine Forrest on Lake Michigan. Unfortunately it rained the entire time I was there so I'll need to go back. Sites were spacious, level and clean.
@MargaretWA1514 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #19
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.
@ErinAA7ED260A3 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #25
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.

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.

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.
