Rippling River Resort

Very pleasant stay. My first time camping with my new camper. The first two places canceled on me because of the Covid crisis. Someone recommended Rippling River resort so I made a reservation and stayed Friday to Friday. Full amenities and close to Marquette and Lake Superior. Lots of biking trails for those who like to mountain bike. Plenty of trails to hike. They had cabins for rent, full hook up for RVs and campers, partial hook up and also tent camping in the woods by the river. Camp store with plenty of supplies and also a bar that serves pizza and they had singing and activities at different times. I definitely would go there again.

Another reviewer has described the many amenities but I’ll add that it’s in its 3rd year of operation. Very nice bath/shower house with laundry- radiant heated floors.

We (2 adults and 2 teenagers) walked the river trail and checked out the 12 remote tent sites and in the other direction, accessed the multitude of hiking/Mt. biking trails near the Marquette Mt ski hill. If you’re a Mt. biker or a road cyclist, Marquette offers you plenty of pedal trails! Premier location in the upper Midwest and it’s all accessible from Rippling River Resort.

You’ll be about 5-6 miles from downtown Marquette where Northern Michigan Univ. is and plenty of great gift shopping and healthy eating.

In summary, we’ll be back with our bikes!

This is a nice privately run RV park right in the middle of great mountain biking trails and only 5 minutes from downtown Marquette. It has been built in the last few years and has great amenities, including a pool and hot tub and is very family friendly. We stayed in the upper most loop of electric only sites for $40 (Site 82). This loop is very forested and similar to a State Park. The lowest loop where the full hookups sites are is near the office and pool is more open with less trees. The middle loop is about half forested and half open sites We could access the mountain biking trails right from the campground, and the outdoor pool was pretty warm. The showers are completely privately single bathrooms with hot water (although low water pressure). My only complaints are that the upper loop is quite a walk down to the pool and the laundry facilities consist of only 2 washers and 2 dryers (in the lower loop shower building) which were both in use when I wanted them (so I drove 5 minutes to a laundromat instead). We really enjoyed our stay here, and $40 (for electric only) with a pool, and great access to trails and Marquette was a good deal for us.

This was one of the best established campgrounds that we've stayed at and we've been traveling for 8+ months. Three miles outside the cool town of Marquette, MI with restaurants and breweries, yet it feels so remote. A beautiful setting on a rippling trout river with hiking, mountain biking and skiing adjacent to the property on all sides. Roughly $30/night for a campsite, but it comes with all kinds of amenities including a good wifi, a mini-store, pool, hot tub, new and clean showers and restrooms, on-site bar, mini-golf course, and lovely back deck. We very much enjoyed the working on the deck with the river in sight as well as falling asleep to the ambient noise of the rapids. The also have RV sites and cabins. Pictured Rocks and the waterfalls near Munising are a great day trip. Family run place and the owner was so nice and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

We made reservations to stay here at the last minute because our first reservation didn't really work out like we planned. This was quite an upgrade though. The park is fairly new and well kept. There is a nice paved loop and the camp sites are gravel. Their lodge is small but has a lot of features...including a new bar that just opened the first day we were there. You can sit out on their back porch overlooking the river. They also have a large fire pit with a few chairs down closer to the river. The pool is heated and there is a hot tub also but we didn't try these out.

The rate is $54/night for 4 people. Extra people over this are charged an additional $10/night so it gets pricey with a larger family.
