This is an excellent State Park. Lacking some of the amenities of an expensive private park but not loosing it's charm. The view of the river and the passing lake freighters and other river traffic makes this park unique. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great park for relaxing. We go quite often as it is close to home, and an easy relaxing weekend. Not much to do but view is great. Bathrooms are always clean and the staff is friendly. Even weekends that are full stay pretty quiet (Wagon Wheel is quieter and more private). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice family campground. There were lots of kids and dogs and it was busy. We enjoyed it and it was peaceful at night even though a bit crowded. You can watch the freighters pass by on the shipping channel which is very cool. Nothing much for little kids to do except bike ride.Still a very well kept park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Expensive even without including the required vehicle stickers ($58 total for MH and car; yearly passes made sense since we'll be staying at a few parks) and they don't have water at the sites but once you get over that the park isn't bad. We had site #37 and we enjoyed the river view but unfortunately there was also a lot of road noise. Site was not level but it wasn't a problem; it was big enough for our 30 ft class A and toad. None of the riverfront sites have much greenery or privacy but the view is nice, we were also glad to have 50 amp electric since it was very hot during our stay and we were able to run both AC's. The wagon wheel sites are much more shaded and not as crowded mid-week. Dump station has two ports and fresh water for your tanks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful state park on the St. Clair River. If you're interested in Great Lakes shipping, you will love this campground as the ships pass by so close you can practically toss a fishing line on their decks! In the 3 days we were there, we probably saw 25 ships. Sites were large, shaded and grassy. The restrooms were clean and modern. No water or sewer, but there is a dump station. While there is a playground at the campground, there's not much else for kids to do there. Would like to return in the fall without our kids and just sit and watch the ships go by! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
