Clean, well maintained campground. Owners are very nice! We like that this campground is not a “party” campground. We travel with an 13yr old and 8yr old, so we appreciate the family like environment.

Small yet private, quiet, friendly staff, has wifi and all amenities. Can walk to Lake Superior no problem. Centrally located to many destinations in the area. Only thing was water pressure dropped in morning when possibly a lot of other guests were using water hook up waking up. Was very short interruption and would stay again/recommend to anyone.

Beautiful and well maintained campground! The grounds are well taken care of, the bathroom/shower building was so clean, and the sites are kept clean and mowed regularly. The store had anything we could've possibly needed and lots of merch for the campground and the Porkies. We were so happy to be able to go get little things we forgot when packing (like smores supplies) and it was all so fresh. They also had propane, bacon, eggs, and so much more. This campground has lots of rules and take them very seriously, this meant that our stay was so quiet and peaceful. We loved our stay and will be back!
