Used to camp here as kids, was exactly as I remembered. Heavy pine with large sandy flat sites, beautiful river access with ice cold water, far out and off the beaten path. We loved our stay here, will definitely come back.

Did not stay, just checked out. Decent dirt road access, away from main road. Wooded area on the Manistee River for fishing and paddling access. 3 loops. Would assume to be a quiet camp.
