The campground and our site were clean and well kept. The facilities worked just as they should. Our site was level and had a good amount of privacy. While we were there the campground was very quiet and peaceful and the other campers were friendly and respectful.

Clean and pleasant! Vault bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

Great scenery and next to a launch point for kayaking and only 18 minds away from Munising or to start of pictured rocks

@LaurieB8871906 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #17

Very nice! Large, spread out sites with lots of mature trees. Extremely quiet. We were on site 17, toward the end of the loop. There was a trail at the back of our site that led through the trees to our own little spot on the Indian River. Some sites were nearer the river, but we really liked the size & the privacy of site 17. We enjoyed hiking the Brunos Run trail from the campground. We also hiked in the pictured Rocks (gorgeous!) and visited several beaches & lighthouses in the area. Good location for travel to Grand Marais, Munising & Marquette. & last, but definitely not least, the bathrooms were amazingly clean & not stinky.

Quiet, pretty site near the river. One star off because the swimming isn't great. Unfortunately the water was out and we had to drive to another campground to refill all week.

I love this campground. However, this year somehow the solar pump is not working and there is NO WATER available for campers. There is one camp host for FOUR campgrounds, she is by herself, and the work seems to be overwhelming! I do not fault her at all. Not having water, not making sure the pump is replaced somehow seems neglectful. I am so disappointed.

Campground nice but not organized, as someone in our site when we arrived

@OmkarJB52C35A5 · Camped on May 27, 2023 at Campsite #31

Good campsite close to Munising and other points of interest. Water spout was not working during our trip but overall satisfactory experience.

@TammyS4240620 · Camped on Sep 1, 2022 at Campsite #33

We enjoyed out time here. Sites were spread out enough that we had privacy. Sites were clean and clear of debris.

@LaurenC8727476 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #12

Nice camping space with clean vault toilets. It was a pretty location too!

@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Aug 18, 2022 at Campsite #19

Great sites, large and secluded.

@KATHRYNC109935 · Camped on Aug 14, 2022 at Campsite #31

It was a fine campground but they had no water, with no warning on their website, and expected us to drive 5-10 minutes to another campground to get water. I was supposed to have a site right next to the water spout but instead had to drive…

@AmyC3583814 · Camped on Aug 10, 2022 at Campsite #17

We had a spot that was along the river and it was beautiful! This was our favorite camping spot on our trip. The only issue we had was that there was an issue with water so we had to go to a different campground to get water. We have US Cellular and had service the whole time at the campground, outside of the campground was spotty

@KenS7241932 · Camped on Aug 8, 2022 at Campsite #9

Very well maintained campground

@RobertC4745893 · Camped on Aug 8, 2022 at Campsite #5

This is a very nice campground. It has drinking water to fill your tanks and a dump station. The sites are nicely spaced, are paved and most of them are shaded.

@MattR9175718 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #33

Very clean site and facilities. Camp hosts doing a great job. Our favorite camping location!

@KristinD106931 · Camped on Jul 24, 2022 at Campsite #21

Quiet campground with adequate privacy between sites. Bathrooms were always clean and never smelled terrible. Nice location not too far from Munising.

@KenS7241932 · Camped on Jul 5, 2022 at Campsite #14

The camp host at Widewaters is doing an exceptional job of maintaining this campground. The restrooms were immaculate.

@TonyT703 · Camped on Sep 10, 2021 at Campsite #19

Clean vault toilets. Nice place for hiking and canoe/kayak. Hosts do a great job. The addition of cell phone access during the summer is a real bonus.

@DanielM435 · Camped on Sep 10, 2021 at Campsite #6

We really enjoyed our stay, the sites were large and mostly secluded. The outhouses have to be the cleanest we have ever seen. The only complaint we had was the people running generators. We would highly recommend this park.

@Donaldl757 · Camped on Sep 2, 2021 at Campsite #12

Nice large sites. Great for canoe

@JayneM817 · Camped on Sep 2, 2021 at Campsite #21

Great sites, clean toilets, nice trails and chain of lakes. The camp hosts were very helpful.

@DouglasM344 · Camped on Aug 15, 2021 at Campsite #23

A quiet, remote and beautiful place in the Hiawatha National Forest with large campsites. Easy to get to, and within about 20 minutes of Munising. Plenty of things to do in the area, including hiking, fishing, boating, etc., and within driving distance of many natural wonders - Pictured Rocks Lakeshore, waterfalls, etc.

@JulieH984 · Camped on Aug 10, 2021 at Campsite #21

What a beautiful campground. The sites were private with beautiful views and Your outhouses were cleaner than any public or private campground bathrooms we have ever been to. What a treat to spend a few nights there.

@JasonE230 · Camped on Aug 4, 2021 at Campsite #11

Nice campground but no rangers to enforce quiet hours. Had some very loud and rude neighbors.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
