Manistique Lakeshore Campground

From the entrance, the campsites, bathroom facilities to the beach, this is a well maintained and above 5 star campground. The ladies at office are the BEST! Very clean, hot showers, camp sites are the best ever with all being concrete pads. You can get everything you need right here. The sound of the water is therapeutic. Great view of lighthouse. The location is fabulous to access other areas to explore. My only negative is bathroom sinks do not stay on long enough to brush teeth the first time.

This campground is definitely worth checking out! All of the RV sites have level concrete pads, full hookups, and 20/30/50 amp connections available, plus cable television and WiFi. The bathhouse is immaculate, well kept with four individual shower stalls and one family shower/restroom. Laundry available at the bathhouse also. Firewood and ice (and free coffee) are available at the office which is staffed from 8a-8p every day. Several sites are quite literally on the shores of Lake Michigan, but even if you aren’t on the lake, you’ll still benefit from the cool lake breeze. Walking distance to a nice cafe, microbrewery, and gift shop, and about a two minute drive to downtown and all that Manistique has to offer. Gas and groceries minutes away too. We’ll be back!

Best surprise was that the sites are so well placed up against the sandy beach. We felt lucky to get a reservation here! We split our two-day stay between two different sites, so had to move mid-stay. That wasn’t ideal, because we had to stick around all mid-day to do that. But it was worth it because we had beautiful weather. Lake Michigan was warm and wonderful to enjoy. The day we left the wind direction switched and we were fogged in. Neighbors had said the day prior to our arrival the wind was strong and they had huge waves and spray off of the big lake.
Staff said they’re in the process of acquiring adjacent land and will be expanding over next two years!

In 7+ years of fulltime travel, this is one of my top 5 favorite campgrounds. We had site 45 backed up to the lake and it was amazing! I enjoyed sitting outside every day watching the waves and the lighthouse. Walking out to the lighthouse was really nice too. We also enjoyed a visit to Kitch-iti-kipi. The only negative is the cancellation policy. I like to book our travels up to a year in advance, but I was scared to do that here because of the non-refundable policy. This place is not cheap and that's a lot of money to lose if you have to cancel for some reason. And after all that has happened in the last couple of years, we all know that plans can change rapidly. Not to mention how plans can change when we have truck or RV problems. I can understand a cancellation fee, but not refunding the entire paid-in-full amount? That's a little much. We work remotely while traveling fulltime so internet connectivity is a must. Here are the details of our cell providers: AT&T 13.8 dl/3.20 ul, T-Mobile 73.8 dl/49.5 ul, Verizon 32.9 dl/11.9 ul.

This is an incredible campground, right on the lake but also has plenty of trees and privacy. It is right on a busy road but didn’t bother us at all. Not much to do in the little town but a great place to spend a night or two off the road. Very clean sites with concrete pads, newer picnic tables and very nice fire pits. We will return again and hope for better weather. Has rained the entire time we have been in the UP but still having fun

Went here on the advice of campers we meet on the road. Our site had one pad in between the lake/beach but it still had nice views. Arrived to the lake looking like glass and left to 3 foot waves. The facilities appear very clean and up to date, with laundry. This was a great place experience Lake Michigan, the greater Manistique area is beautiful. Stayed in the Upper Peninsula Fri - Sun in late August with no reservations and got great lakefront or view sites each night, truly lucky. We will be coming back to the UP again and may just go right back to the same spots.
