Northern Lights Campground

The township of Republic got a grant from the State of Michigan to improve the recreational facilities around the town. The newly completed "Northern Lights Campground" now consists of 11 generously spaced packed gravel RV sites with 20-30-50 amp hookups and water. There are two brand new vault toilets that got installed as part of this project AND a brand new dump station. There are also about a dozen tent sites with no hookups that go for $5 a night. All in all, compared to what used to be here, this is a 100% facility upgrade for Republic. There is also a couple miles of graveled hiking paths that lead from the campground through the woods beside the town, the gravel is new but the trails may have existed before, I can't recall.
