What a joy to discover a gem in a beautiful, well-traveled part of our state. The Tawas State Park…read morecampground was closed for renovations, so my husband and I began looking for another spot to camp while enjoying spring birding in this area. Through a Google search, we found this campground. This campground is quiet, exceptionally well-cared for, convenient y located to all Tawas and West Branch attractions and located on a beautiful piece of property. The owners and hosts, Calvin and Jeannie, are wonderful people who will make you feel right at home. Though tent camping sites are available, we decided to splurge and rent a glamping cabin with a king bed. It was the perfect blend of luxury and the rustic feel of being in nature. We enjoyed meandering around the well marked trails and relaxing at the river, just a short walk from the campground. The spring birds were plentiful, allowing a quiet alternative to the more crowded Tawas spots. The glamping cabin was immaculately clean, the bed was firm and the bedding was very nice. The ceiling fan, standing fan and mini heater allow for a comfortable sleeping and relaxing environment. We enjoyed afternoons in the hammock, evening fires and then relaxing in bed streaming our favorite Netflix shows while eating microwave popcorn (we brought the food and technology; microwave, fridge and wifi provided) Every camper knows the sacrifices made while visiting the restrooms and showers. No sacrificing needed here. The facilities are large and super clean. They even smell amazing and are tastefully decorated. We were provided with a golf cart to trek back and forth to the restroom which was appreciated at night. What a treat! The campground is primarily seasonal campers with many sites for RV's and more limited tent camping, with and without utilities. The crowd seems older and quiet though there is a cute little playground and lots of space for kids to explore nature. Our grandson would love fishing from the river. This visit may have been our first but it won't be our last. We almost hate to write this review and risk this gem becoming more popular. Alas, we want the owners to enjoy wild success as they provide such a wonderful place to enjoy nature.

I kind of randomly picked this campsite, I was headed somewhere else when I saw the sign and…read moredecided to take a chance. It really paid off. The campground was clean, the spaces are not cramped together and more than a few have lake views. There is running water, pit toilets, and steps down to the lake, and each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring, and parking spot. A few are against the forest, some are in the middle of the site, and the others kind of by the lake (these were my favorite, nothing like waking up in the morning and looking out on a clear blue body of water). Overall I was very happy with this campground, it seemed underused, which was kind of surprising given the beauty and quietude of the area. My only complain was that it had a lot of yellow jackets that wanted to eat my lunch more than I did. Bring spray or something, you're probably going to want it. Or maybe it was just my site, who knows. You can fish in the lake, it's stocked with trout. The water also seemed very clean, I almost went for a swim (it wasn't that cold either). There is also a day-use area, so you can just picnic or fish if you feel like it. To get here you have to drive down S Stephan Bridge Rd and will then take a left - keep your eyes peeled for the sign. There is also a sign on MI-72 which will point you in the right direction.

As long as you know how to swim, it's a great lake.not much shallow. Long set of steps.read more

This is a very quiet campground with spacious sites that are generously spaced out from one another. Another plus is that it is a small campground with only 19 sites.

Overall, this is a quiet campground and if you're seeking some period of solitude this is one is it!

They ride all over the road and think they are the boss when you're driving your car on the road. You literally have to stop and wait for them. About 15 minutes from Mio. Rented a tent site and they upgraded me, the tent site is small as heck and not even sure you can put a small tent on it lol. Also rented the RV. Definitely not worth it. Only good thing about it is the air worked. Camper was outdated and smelled like old people. Tv and fireplace did not work. Was no hot water. And the cushions that was where the table is was falling apart and got all over. Now if you have small kids I'm sure it's a cool place to stay as long as you have your own camper!! Has a nice pool. Has a hot tub but it was colder than the pool. I would not stay here again.

After looking through the website and Facebook page, there is no where where it states if you do not stay you will be charged for the ENTIRE time you would have stayed. I understand being charged a cancellation fee for not being able to come on such short notice, as I explained to the owner that I would gladly pay. But this man had the audacity to say that was not good enough and I needed to give a 2 week notice even though I booked the cabin 2 days in advance(again no where on the website does it say this) and he proceeded to charge my card unauthorized for the full amount. I warn anyone who does business with this man, DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE!! Or you will be dealing with what I'm going through right now.
