Lower west part is better, some sites are closer together, but nothing like an rv park. Some sites are really roomy and private. Very few people stay more than a couple of days after labor day, so frequently there would be no on by you. Still, most campers were quiet. You definitely hear bridge traffic all day long, so it's never really quiet at all, but a beautiful cg.

That's probably my only complaint. The bridge traffic can be louder than a generator. It would be nice to have a designated hour each day to run a generator. They dont allow them so you can enjoy peace and quiet, which I love, but it's never really quiet there. If you are in a non-electric site, keep that in mind. But they should consider adding at least an hour every day.

Almost all had some shade and sun. Yes, it gets muddy when it rains, thats what happens on grass sites. Check the weather report for sure, but they dry quickly. A lot of sites require leveling, but not too extreme. Very clean and lovely sites.

Got to kayak both lake Huron and Michigan if you go up to the bridge. Convenient walk to town and the ferries. Walked around the beautiful neighborhoods and Lakefront Cemetary. Bathrooms were clean and cell signal was good.

Tip for carb lovers, BC Pizza's breadsticks are the best!!!!!

Definitely a must campsite!!

We would 100% camp here again in a heartbeat!!! If you don’t like exercise, I could see why you may find the noise from the highway annoying at times and some of the sites are close together…..But, if you like exercise, this is the park for you!!! We road our bikes up to Acme for lunch and drinks right on the water, and you could keep going on the TART trail to other towns. Or, you could ride a couple miles the other way to downtown Traverse City and park your bike anywhere and not have to deal with parking issues.

Not having to drive was awesome! That alone makes this park worth it!!!! We rode our bikes everywhere, and you could always conveniently get off the TART trail to stop at a slew of restaurants to eat and drink. You could also easily walk to these restaurants which we did one evening. How nice to not have to use the car for 4 days!

You also can take the bridge across the road to the beach. It was very convenient.

Our site was pretty spacious, as it was on a corner, but others are tighter. However, I’ve been in a ton of RV parks with even tighter spots, so it wasn’t too bad. I also find that generally campers are friendlier people and you end up chatting with your neighbors anyway and have fun!

The bathrooms were clean and orderly when we went. The dump stations are harder to navigate as it is tight, but you really can’t beat this campground that’s a hop, skip and a jump to a bustling downtown.

Yes, you are right next to the beach, which is cool, but after coming from Delaware Seashore Park, which was absolutely amazing, this was a disappointment. Cape Point Campground, closer to Hatteras, is much nicer, although no electric.

Only a few sites have electric here, and they are very strict on even sharing electric, even if no one is using it. That didn’t really bother us, we had our generators and had no issues with that. It was pleasant weather most of the time, so no need for air conditioning. You do get a lot of wind, so be careful with your awning. And you may get blown away on the beach if it’s windy. If it’s not, the beach is very pleasant, but always busy with fisherman. You can buy a week pass for $50 to drive on the beach. Go slow, the rangers are out and will ticket you for going a mile over the speed limit.

The biggest issue is every time you step out of your trailer, you will get 10-12 goat-heads on you. We’re used to prickly things, there are large ones at Lake Pleasant in AZ, but they don’t really hurt you. These little buggers hurt. They are hard to get out (wet your fingers before you try, it usually helps) and even months after we left, we were still finding them in our clothes, shoes, car, etc. Our dog wasn’t happy either.

It was pretty loud the week we were there. I didn’t think the sites were that close together, I’ve seen a lot worse, they were more spacious than most, but with no trees, and the beach, the sound carries and you could hear almost everything.

You go across the street for dumping, although I don’t know how they can regulate non-campers using it. But it wasn’t too crowded when we went and there are a couple of stations.

The bathrooms were clean, but the showers were barely tolerable. They were pretty chilly when we went, so we used our RV.

I wouldn’t want to come back here, I’d rather go down to Hatteras and stay at the Cape Point CG, it’s just a lot more pleasant.

After staying at Tahquamenon Lower Falls Modern Campground, I thought nothing could top that one…..well, this one did! A phenomenal CG, right on Lake Superior! Definitely go to the beach at night. It’s great to swim in, but even better stargazing, and if you’re lucky to have the Northern Lights active, it’s a great place to see them!

We also took our kayaks and kayaked Lake Superior. We picked a calm day and it was absolutely lovely!

If you can get one of the sites on the water do it, but they are small and tight. The rest of the spots are pretty spacious and private. I loved walking to the beach and seeing the Bay Furnace up close.

Definitely take a Picture Rocks Cruise and stand in the back on the lower deck. You’ll get the best views there. Stunning scenery! You can also take a cruise to Grand Island, Duck Pond Eatery has them right next door and you can even have lunch!

There’s so much to do in Munising, By George Brewery is amazing and has live entertainment on the weekends. Muldoon’s Pasties are a must, definitely get one of the fruit pies as well! Go to Earl E. Birds for some fantastic chicken! Falling Rock Cafe and Bookstore has amazing ice cream. Try to get the Macinac fudge ice cream….yummmmm!

Avoid Foggy’s Steakhouse. Not only was the food ice cold, the service is pretty bad. They really only want locals there. Spend your money somewhere else….

When I read that it was described as a parking lot, I went in with pretty low expectations. There are only 6 sites that can accommodate a 30 foot rv. They say they can accommodate up to 50, I'm not sure how that's possible, but that might feel cramped. Most people here are in tents or have truck campers. The sites are pretty spacious for what it is. Many RV parks are lined up like sardines when you're near a big city. This was not that way, much more spacious than I thought and certainly worthy of at least 4 stars.

Also, most people who had generators only had them on briefly, to recharge their batteries or use their microwave/coffee pot. There were only a handful that had them, and they didn't have them on long. I think most people that come here are hikers and are pretty respectful campers.

The sites seemed pretty level, we only needed one block.

The scenery is gorgeous, you can do all the hikes at this end of the park, including the peak, the highest in Texas. There's no hook ups, but there are bathrooms, and you are sleeping in a National Park!

It is a great location, don't be afraid to come here and enjoy one of the most beautiful areas in the country.

We spent a wonderful week at this beautiful lake. It's part Guadalupe River meeting Canyon Lake. The campground is spacious and spread far apart (one side for RV's, one for tents) so you could get a good couple of miles just walking it. There are several hiking trails nearby, we did those too.

We were able to park at the boat launch near the tent sites so we could launch our kayaks each day. The water was low. Otherwise, it might be doable by your site if the levels rise again.

There's a Lowes grocery store in town, with everything you would need, albeit slightly higher prices since they are a little town. New Braunfels is an amazingly cute, quaint German town. A must stop!!! Great restaurants including Krauses biergarten, which is right next door to the Farmers Market. If here on a Saturday, this is another must stop. Awesome produce, meats and food. Great town to walk around in and explore. If you like beer, don't pass up Guadalupe Brewing!

Tin Top was a cute burger joint next to an ice cream parlor, nice stop for kids with great prices! If you're an Elk, don't miss the New Braunfels Elks lodge. One of the more active ones we've been to.

You're also only 30-45 minutes from San Antonio, depending on where you want to go. If you need to visit SA, this isn't a bad choice.

Internet with Verizon and T Mobile worked well. Most sites were lever and its convenient to have the extra parking space. You dont see that at a lotcof campgrounds. The bathrooms were clean by the RV side and showers were hot. There's garbage dumpsters everywhere, so you'll always have a place to put trash.

Great stay!

Wow! This is a hard park to get into, it’s very busy, but the sites are pretty spacious and you are in the middle of the forest which is stunning!!!

Get to the lower falls early and late in the day to avoid the crowds. If the weathers warm, most people will be swimming and going over the lower falls. We took our dogs to go swimming and they had a blast, but we didn’t go in the falls itself.

You can hike 4 miles one way to the upper falls which is totally worth it! It’s not too bad of a hike, there is some uphill scrambling, but it’s pretty moderate. We saw people of all ages doing it. The upper falls are beautiful and there are several different vantage points you can hit, you just need to climb some stairs, but absolutely worth it, do them all and get a good work out in!

The brewpub was average at best, but we were hungry and thirsty, so we went there to have a drink and food.

There are sooooo many different trails you can take. If you have time, I highly recommend the Clark Lake Loop, It was about 11 miles round trip including the other trails we took to get to the loop, but Clark Lake is stunning!!! There was nobody on the trail, so you’ll have a peaceful hike and it’s fairly easy as well. There were several spots you could jump in the lake if you wanted to.

We also did the North Country trail the opposite way and another beautiful hike and not too hard to do. There are so many to do in this area, right from your campsite. There’s also a boat launch, actually 2 of them, where you can bring your kayak to have some fun in the water. You can visit lighthouses, or visit some small local restaurants in the area.

Overall, a must do when in the UP!

This is a lovely RV campground with not a bad site in the place. We had a Bayfront view, and while neighbors are close, they weren't jammed in like a typical RV park. Gorgeous sunrise and sunsets, peaceful with super friendly people. Nice, clean bathrooms and laundry room. Although the bathroom stalls are tight, but very clean.

Easy walk to town which is super cute and quirky. Nice brewery to visit, sit outside and look at the water. Great pizza place with gooey garlic knots. You're also close to the lighthouse and easy trip to Campobello Island in Canada. Don't miss Campobello!!!!!

Most sites are large and not too close together, so its nice to not be on top of your neighbors. Some of the back in spaces are hard to get into with RVs or they aren't level. We started at A16 and moved to B2, a pull through. But the trees on this site were low, so we had to back it up to get out. Some pull throughs have plenty of tree clearance. A sites are closest to the road and 260 is quite noisy. You can hear the traffic all night. Your best bet is to pick a D site.

Lots of trees around for shade and during monsoon season, it was nice and cool. We were able to wrap long dog leashes around for our dogs to have plenty of space for them to hang out.

There are plenty of pit toilets around all the sites that were well stocked. Firewood for sale for $7. Camphosts were nice, friendly and helped us back out. Cell phone reception can be spotty, but it works most of the time.

I'm struggling with this review, as this is a very beautiful campground. It's small, 22 sites total and better for smaller rigs. There are a couple of spots that had large rigs, but its tight. Lots of room, they are not packed in, and the only cell service is on the fishing pavilion or right by the river. Lots and lots of shade too.

The camp host doesn't really do too much, didn't even acknowledge us. The bathrooms were not clean, pretty yucky actually. We talked to several neighbors and they all are locals who come here a lot and we're disappointed in the facilities. Even our site had tons of trash on it when we pulled in. We watched the host step over the same pile of trash all weekend. He was pleasant and friendly when we did see him, but that wasn't often. One neighbor actually said something about the bathrooms and he did go and clean them. But it was weird, there weren't a lot of people there, so they shouldn't have been that dirty.

I wish they would also clear the boat dock, it was impossible to get to the river through the 4-5 ft tall weeds. There is a really nice boat dock about a mile north of the cg , so you can use that.

Still a lovely and quiet spot. Very few trains, and you can hardly hear them and I'm a light sleeper. Take a 20 minute drive north to the next bridge and go to New Martinsville, WV. Cute town and all the shopping you would need. On the way back, there's a park on the Ohio side where you can watch the barges and walk the park. There's also a couple of cool ice cream spots you can stop at.
