Widewaters Campground

We arrived here after about 8 hours of driving on a 5 hour trip. Our destination was Pictured Rocks National Lake shore and hoped to stay at Twelve Mile Beach, Kingston Lake or Little Beaver Lake campgrounds, but they were all were full. We then checked out many more campgrounds and eventually arrived at this campground, which had several open sites. We found out that all the National Forest Campgrounds now take reservations for about 60% and the remaining are open for first come first serve.

The campground was well kept and had a very nice host. The next day we hiked 10.8 miles on the Bruno's Run Loop, which runs right through the campground. The nice thing about this loop is we only saw a few others and could leave the dogs run off leash. By the time we got back we decided to stay another night.
