Everything was great, the campground had everything we needed and was well maintained, and the campground maintenance worker was an entertaining guy (Tom). He was happy to bring us wood upon request. The river trail from Seaton Creek to the Red Bridge was amazing as well.

Group site was in great condition. Tables provided for sitting, food prep, and even a great grill for charcoal cooking. Latrines were clean and well maintained. Enjoyed the proximity to the Manistee River Trail and easy access to the creek for swimming. Camp host was helpful and friendly. Overall a great experience for our Scout Troop.

Had a great time with a group of guys from Crossroads Bible Church. Great to have a group campsite where we can all gather after a long day on the MRT!

The campground host was amazing by keeping the bathrooms clean, lots of firewood, etc. The group site was perfect for our family adventures.

Seaton Creek is an absolutely gorgeous campground. I stayed in one of the group sites during my trip and it was a fantastic choice. The group sites are incredibly private and peaceful which is exactly what I was looking for. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The vault bathrooms were kept very clean throughout our stay. While it does take a little extra effort to get water from the pump, it's definitely worth it. The water is delicious and ice-cold to boot! The only negatives to this campground are that the road to the campground is pretty rough and that the area is extraordinarily buggy. If you're looking for a hidden gem, I highly recommend staying at Seaton Creek!

This was the 2nd year I have been up in a group site on memorial day weekend. I found I much prefer the smaller and more shaded group site 2 over the more open and bigger group site 1. We hiked the trail one day and just hung around the site the next day. We'll be booking again next year ASAP.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

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!!!
