This is a NPS campground near Escanaba, MI. No hookups or modern facilities but a nice setting. Quasi boondocking. Campsites very private. Heavily screened from one another. Quiet. $11 per night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Owner friendly, that is about the only nice thing I can say. First of all their "office" is basically in the mudroom of their home and is dirty and cluttered. I called the night before to reserve and was given a confirmation number, she could not find our confirmation number but there were a ton of openings (surprise). We paid for our full service site and off we went to find it. It ended up being what is called "shared electric" which means basically first come fist serve for the 30amp hook up (the Escanaba area seemed full of these)... so there was someone already plugged in to the electric so we could not unless we had a 50amp converter or a 20amp cord. Our site was right next to the dump station which was filthy there was broken glass all over our site, we had two fire rings both trashed, the playground was full of broken toys. The "walk" down to the water looked very steep. Well after we were there trying to figure out the power thing for a good 30min.... we packed up our stuff and left. Could not handle it anymore. She was nice enough to give us our money back. With a super good clean up and some organization and better electrical hook up, might not be too bad... for us though... Bad! We Did Not Stay In This Park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Nice park for an overnight stay. Easy in & out from the road. Management was very friendly & helpful. Led us to site. Had full hookups, but sewer connection was positioned so far back that it wasn't usable. Had Wi-Fi & cable, so for the price thought it was a good deal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice folks and a pretty little park with good wi-fi but, unfortunately, they miss out on one of the basics: Level sites. We saw only two 50 amp sites in the park and neither were anywhere near level. We could not get our coach level regardless of how much jack we used. A shame. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All pull through sites, easy in and out. Basic place that was perfect for us for a couple days as we dodged thunder storms and tornados. Good cable TV. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Entrance to campground wide and plenty of space to stop and register. Family run campground with limited facilities. All sites are pull-throughs and all have full hook-ups. There are only two 50 amp sites which were not flat. Other sites within campground were mainly flat. Electricity was solid and water pressure good. The campground was a little scruffy with pipes laying around. Some road and rail noise. OK for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We chose this park because the website advertised free cable TV. The website also indicated this park had high Good Sam ratings, so we assumed we would get the Good Sam discount. When we checked-in we were told there would be a $3.00 charge for cable TV and that they did not give the Good Sam discount because they were not members. When I questioned the manager about the information for free cable TV and the information about Good Sam that was on the web site: she became argumentive. This park is located between railroad tracks and a highway and is very noisy. The restrooms and showers were clean but in run-down condition. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice little park with long pull-throughs and good utilities including 50 amp power, which is hard to find in the area. We had no trouble leaving our Jeep hooked up behind our 45’ motorhome both entering and leaving the park. The owner is very hands-on and has kept the park up well. There is a nearby train that can be quite loud, but it only comes by four times daily and not at night. Highway 2 also turned out to be quite quiet at night. While we seldom use them, we scouted out the recreation room and bathrooms and found them as well tended at the outside. We would certainly stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice small campground. They had abut 10 sites with water, 30 AMP, and cable. They had a dump station. Showers were nice (We didn't use them, but checked.) They were located on a hill and there was some jake brake noise. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well kept small campground. The rec building/laundry is open 24 hours. Nice level full service sites, some shaded, some open allowing for the use of satellite antennas. Manager lives on site, owner visits daily. Good central location for visiting Escanaba and the Garden Peninsula. LP fills are available and they have a well stocked book exchange. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had sewer hookup and full 50 amp service, so not sure what happened with previous poster's site hookups. We had very good Wi-Fi signal. The bathroom was clean, though there is only one each available as the others were locked the entire night and next morning: perhaps to save on cleaning them?? Definitely jack-brake noise on the hill, and more awakening was the train plus whistle that ran right behind the park: only a hundred feet from our site. Very limited overnight sites: as most of this park is a mobile home park. Good place to stay as an overnight, but not a destination by any means. Owner/manager was very friendly and welcoming, plus appears to work hard to keep the place up. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pleasant, small, well-kept, beautifully landscaped, quiet campground. Manager or owner on site at all times-very nice and helpful. Convenient to Escanaba, Big and Little Bays De Noc, Marquette, Iron Mining Museum and lots of other attractions. Wi-Fi available and works well. Railroad tracks very close--but trains are only occasional. Would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park. Long level pull through sites. Excellent tv and wifi reception. Some road noise but that's to be expected. Easy to maneuver around. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a really nice, big-rig friendly park and, although it is small, it is landscaped beautifully with long level sites and all hookups. More importantly, it has some of the friendliest and most conscientous managers I have encountered. We had a problem with getting their wi-fi and, rather than shrug their shoulders, they were all over it, coming over to our coach twice to make sure everything was working properly, resetting their wi-fi, etc. Very, very accomodating people who care. Yes, the park is near a railroad and near a major highway but, unless you are sleeping in a tent or popup, your coach or trailer walls will do a good job of keeping out the sound. Only one train came through when we were here and that was at 8:30 in the morning. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful campground with lovely landscaping. Stayed here for the night and wished we could have stayed longer. Gave discount for AARP, and rates were very reasonable for what was offered. Would go there again. If you love trains, the campground is located close to the RR tracks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice clean well maintained cmpground with very helpful and nice managers. Had 50amp service with full hookups. Very nice gravel and level pads. Shade trees with excellent grass and no bare spots. It rained overnight and campsite never got muddy. The noise from highway did not bother me in the least. Stayed two nights and would stay again if in the area. Summary-park has all the necessary full hookups including excellent cable and wi-fi. Clean grass and shade trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park was not full. Very friendly for big rigs...nice wide and long sites. Everything was very clean. Neat 100 year-old barn for office. The owners could not have been nicer people. Really nice flower gardens and bird feeders. Was just an overnight stop, but we would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a nice overnight stop for us on our way to Mackinaw City. We stayed in site number 14. A large part of this campground consists of permanent park model units - a majority of them seemed fairly new nice with nicely kept lawn areas surrounding them. There is a lot of traffic noise during the day and early evening, however at night it was not that bad. A train went by twice. Once around 10 p.m. and again in the morning before noon. Neither the traffic or train noise prevented a good night sleep. We used their WiFi and it worked great. We could not get our satellite connection to work, so we paid for cable access which cost an extra $3. Beautiful flowers. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Looks nice from the website and the free wi-fi is awesome. However, what the website doesn't tell you is that it's right on US-2 (big loud trucks all day) and a train almost literally runs through the campground (VERY loud). Owners are very friendly and helpful, but it's just LOUD. We camped here in a Motorhome.
