This is one of the best campgrounds I have stayed at. The bathrooms and shower s are clean there was no lie on the previous reviews on that one. Sure there are rules to follow. There not just for you they are for everyone to continue to enjoy this lovely campground for years to come. The staff owners are very nice and friendly. Lots of space between sites. Short walk to beach. Or to enjoy the Porcupine Mountains. If you don't want to start your own fire . Go down by the office join the crew there. Bring some cold beers and pass them around the campfire along with stories. Looking forward to going back a couple of times next year. Enjoy your stay like so many others have.
