This is nothing less than 5 stars!!!! As a full-timer, we camp all over and this COE is well-kept, has friendly hosts and you can't beat your location, regardless of your site. Yes, there may be wind, yes, you may have to level a bit, or put mattress pads on your tent sites. But, you can't beat this slice of heaven!!!! Lots of games, including a permanent cornhole game!!! You can dump on the way in, or out and fill up with fresh water. Also, the best sunrises and sunsets ever! 5 stars!!!!!

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.

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.

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 RV site was a great place to camp. The sites are large, much larger than some other RV parks. We have our Rockwood Roo with us and had plenty of space. The only thing that's annoying is that they charge you for each extra person and dog you have with us. We only had one other person and our dog, but that's why they charged us $42 a night. Otherwise, I think it would have been $36 a night for 2 people. It was an additional $5 a person and $1 per dog per night.

But, it's a large campground, yes, there were long term people here who were super friendly. Everyone working and staying here was friendly. Sometimes, that can just make your vacation! It's a short walk to town, only 1.5 miles, so if you can walk, that's great. Otherwise, they provide a shuttle for you. The campground itself is also very clean and well kept.

Showers and bathrooms were clean, spacious. They have a rec room with a ping pong table you can play, and a kitchen, so if you wanted to have a party, you could use that space. I'm not sure if that cost more or not. They have several washer/dryers as well. The pool is heated during the winter months, and it was 85 when we were there, even though it got down to 40 degrees at night.

You can rent a fire pit and they have wood to buy. The wifi does go in and out, but it works.

Our arrival was smooth. They even called us about 5:30 to ensure we were coming as their office would be closing. We were just 5 minutes outside of the campground, they checked us in and guided us in our pull through spot.

I didn't think there was ever any excess noise. The sites were clean, close to town, very large and comfortable.

All in all, it's probably the best RV in Tombstone, and we loved our stay!
