It provided all that we needed. Ensure you bring your own water, and know that you have to park and hike to your site.

Lovely site! It's well set up for a group, with a lot of flat tent spots, a large fire pit, and 2 picnic tables. A nice little path to the river. Lots of mosquitos, but that's to be expected by a river in a Michigan summer.

Great site to stay at if you are kayaking the river like we did. It was great to have our camp all set up and were able to get off the river right at our campsite.

@JeffS4172407 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #3

Great spot as always, the area is well-maintained. The only thing that needs improvement is that the phone number provided DOES NOT WORK--and hasn't for at least 2 years. When you call, the line rings but eventually gives a message that "this is not a valid number". There is absolutely no way to contact anyone who has any affiliation with the campsite for any reason, this is unacceptable.

Our site was nice, good space and right next to the river. The pit toilets weren't great, but hey it's a pit toilet. Our evening was lovely, but in the morning someone started mowing grass around 7:30 am and woke us up. He got very close to us and blew dust and debris into our site. Then an older women with a clipboard, I would hope a camp host, waltzed through our site without introducing herself. Perfectly fine campground, but will not being staying there again due to the weird vibes.

Great spot by the river

@RichK5250302 · Camped on Sep 24, 2022 at Campsite #GS1

Campsite beside our group site was a family site with 15 people that were up and loud until 2 am. We have been camping at Gleason’s for 25 years and it was worst experience ever.

@BridgetK547946 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #GS2

What a beautiful campsite. We were on site 3 right on the river. I can't say enough how peaceful our stay was. Fun seeing all the fly fishermen walking down the river. We did tubes and had a great time. Swam in the river right by our site as well. We will go again in the future!

@GRAYDONE166773 · Camped on May 20, 2022 at Campsite #4

Excellent location on the river for rustic camping. We enjoyed fishing and exploring the area. The toilets were clean and well maintained.

@BethC1278019 · Camped on Jul 8, 2021 at Campsite #GS1

Ron & his wife were very friendly! They keep the place in excellent condition, and with a vault toilet! It’s a beautiful place, spread out along the river and very private. The trails are great as well! We already have our next trip planned!

Absolutely beautiful area surrounded by the river. Huge campsites with plenty of space, picnic table and fire pit. We were able to gather plenty of firewood from the woods. Great launching point for kayaking.

@DeannaA955 · Camped on Jun 26, 2020 at Campsite #3

I love this campground. Bathrooms are kinda icky but it's small and spread out, and there is a small beach by the river to drag the kayaks out on or to just wade around. It's a walk in so super quiet which is a must for tent camping. Nothing like the lovely sound of an RV generator to ruin a morning, lol. Lovely place if you like to feel like you hiked in but don't really want to deal with dragging all your stuff around :P.

The campground is amazing, but I was swarmed by hundreds of mosquitos nonstop from the moment I got out of my truck. I set up my tent and fished for about 45 minutes, but couldn’t take the constant attacks, so I sought refuge in my truck, then ran to my tent and quickly stripped off my waders and contemplated for about an hour before packing up and leaving. In all, I was at Gleason’s for 6 hours after a 6 hour drive. Again, the campground and river are incredible, but the mosquitos drove me crazy.

@CurtB364 · Camped on Aug 4, 2019 at Campsite #3

I went here in August. It's a beautiful area on a river without too much traffic. The trouble was mosquitoes descended upon me in a terrifying manner and 99% deet bug repellent only deterred the weakest of them. I ended up leaving early. This could have just been a seasonal thing, or due to weather leading up to my time there. In any case, bring a screened canopy if you choose to stay here. That or just be tougher than I.

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!!!
