One of the holes is quite narrow and a great view of the lake, which was beautiful. If you're in the area and looking for a place to golf, hit this place up. Great accommodation by the owner and staff. All were very pleasant and welcoming to our group we had for a bachelor party. Plenty of drinks available for purchase as well as clubs for rental/borrow if needed. Watch out for the seagulls and try to bring some bright colored golf balls to avoid confusion with the seagull feathers (I lost a couple golf balls because we couldn't find them). Overall: great experience here, definitely would go back again if I were given the opportunity.

This is a well maintained campground. We got a campsite under the pine trees. The campsites there…read moreare spaced well apart. No noise from other campers, although the railroad runs a couple hundred feet behind the site. You hear the train rumble by, but they don't blow the whistle. Because it is shaded there is no grass, so it can get muddy when it rains. I didn't care for the fire rings they have there. They are too tall, about twice the hight of most. You can't really see the fire in the pit. They don't have a grill grate either so you can't use them for cooking. This is a nice campground, but does have a few drawbacks.

The grounds and most notably the shower facilities were very clean. The staff was friendly, and I had no noisy neighbors. I camped in the primitive section, as I didn't need water or electricity at the site, though the sites in the more developed section had those. That section was much more full than the primitive area where I was. For my site I paid just 15$ a night, less than some state or national forest campgrounds that don't have showers or flushing loos. My camp overlooked a side channel of the Escanaba River. A large marsh dividing that channel from the main flow gave me concerns about mosquitos, but I saw very few. The tradeoff for this is some ambient noise. The highway is nearby, and there are some industrial facilities in the area from which you can hear some rumbling and clanking throughout the day. Escanaba seems to have a lot of train traffic, since I don't think I went 5 minutes without hearing a train whistle somewhere in the distance. There is actually a track running directly along the primitive camping section, though only a couple of short trains went by on it while I was there. Not a place for solitude and silence, though there are plenty of those available in the UP. If you want a few more amenities and proximity to some city pleasures, this is a great place to stay.

In a whim, we decided to stay one night here to tour the historical landmark town. So glad we did…read more We got a site, #18, in a Thursday night, by making a request on the website. We have had luck with all the parks finding openings within a week or two of our travel (thought we tend to travel during the weekdays in the summer) The historical iron smelting village is fascinating. The state has done a wonderful job preserving the various community buildings, the iron smelting factory and some of the homes in the community. It is truly a loving, outdoor museum. Great information on signs and plaques throughout. We visited about two-hours before sunset on a Thursday evening. We rode to the historical village and were able to ride our back to the campground , after sunset. The village is bikable which is a great if mobility is an issue. There's a lot to see and it's spread out. Excellent photo ops around sunset. The sun sets behind the community area and the buildings can be nice "props". The sun also reflects off the rocks of the Niagara Escarpment which makes for a pretty photo. We biked the handicap road back to the campground. It's an easy and direct route between the two areas. There are clearings among the trees to get a wonderful, private view of the sunset. The trip is worth it simply to check out the historical community. What a gem in the UP. The campground was fun, yet busy and crowded for our tastes. Site 18 is good for a tent with some fairly flat grassy areas around it. The bro G bird behind and to one side of had RV's and were flexible about letting us spread into their site to find a good place for our tent. Similarly, the neighbors to our right, #20, camped in the bed of their truck. They struggled to find a level space and were concerned about mid with possible space. They parked partially on our site. It all worked out; we had great neighbors, but it was a bit of juggling. The fire rings can also be closer to a tent than we prefer. The washroom was close by and was clean. Small number of shower stalls to share with lots of people. Other sites looked larger and might have offered more privacy. The star of the show is accessibility to Lake Michigan. Wonderful sandy beaches. Lots of good walking, hiking. We would return to have more time to check out the peninsula. We had dinner at a fun restaurant in the water, not far from the campground (10-minutes): The Dock Grill & Bar. Nice people. Beautiful patio view of the water and good "bar food" options. The Shell gas station also has a mini mart with good meat and deli items, some grocery selections and frozen food.

It was busy when we walked in at 7 PM. They serve the full regular menu in addition to the fish, unlike other places that limit the menu on Friday. Order fish and it comes with salad bar, and that's where your normal fish fry sides are located: beans, coleslaw, bread. It was nice to be able to make our own regular salads though - I like coleslaw, but give me the choice and I'll make a salad bar salad. The fish (my wife had shrimp) was hand breaded and perfectly cooked. It was NOT a little piece of fish in a mass of deep fried breading. The breading was thin and tasty. Same for my wife's shrimp. My fries were a bit limp. When we go back I'll either get a baked potato (my wife got one, it was good) or onion rings. I saw the onion rings going by on other people's plates and they looked wonderful. The kitchen was ballin'! Food FLEW out of there. There was a good sized crowd, and several 8-10 tops, but no one waited and the big tables came out together. Service was friendly and efficient. When we settled up, the server brought a handheld terminal right to our table - just like modern times, what do you know.
