    Crowded holiday weekend campground (large campers beware)
    Richard S.

    While we've stayed at campgrounds that were at full capacity (holiday weekends and midsummer) with no issues, there was absolutely no enforcement of the quiet time after 10pm when we stayed here for Labor Day weekend. There was a choir group camping on the other side of the campground that felt it necessary to practice very late into the night. There was the stereotypical "camping mom" that had a speaker tied to her waist with a microphone barking commands and stupid camping games with a group of a dozen kids. There was a large group across the way that had a karaoke setup. And, the UofM football fans could be heard all over the campground shouting their disappointment very late into the night. But, it was a holiday weekend, and I knew this would happen. Luckily, massive thunderstorms rolled in to shut everyone up. Our campsite never flooded during hours of torrential rain late in the night. We stayed at the odd-shaped corner 206 campsite, because it was the only one available when we made reservations at short notice. Our campsite is listed as accommodating a camper up to 25 feet, but good luck with that! We have a small tent, and even that required moving the picnic table and parking my car sideways. Because every campsite has a different shape and amount of trees, I noticed several people having extreme difficulty parking and pulling out with their massive campers. The roads are very narrow, and probably every campsite has a tree and/or uneven ground. The campground is heavily wooded, which was very nice. We stayed at a full-capacity Brimley State Park a month earlier, and because there are few trees in the campground, your neighbor was right on top of you. The day-use beach area was soft sand and clean. The park staff was friendly. The surrounding Harrisville area was nice and quaint with everything you'd need without driving too far. Verizon cell phone signal was perfect. As a male, I didn't care about how far away the nearest toilet was, but my wife complained at how the lone bathhouse was pretty far away. They don't have very many convenient outhouses, but the bathhouse and showers were clean. There was never a wait to take a shower. It was a nice state park that I will surely like to visit for a quieter weekday camping trip. Baseball fans can make a quick drive to Saint Anne Cemetery to see HoF Kiki Cuyler's grave and eat at the local restaurant that used to be his (food was mediocre, but the beer was cold and priced well).

    Beautiful, safe and convenient place for "modern" camping. However, there is a ridiculous amount of litter left behind by campers. They have dumpsters and a bottle/can recycling center, with signs that say please keep doors closed because of raccoons, but people still throw their trash all around the dumpsters. RIDICULOUS, PEOPLE. Clean up after yourselves and your children, if the dumpsters are full take your trash with you and properly dispose of it elsewhere.

    The local marina while waiting for fireworks to start. Awesome fireworks display for July 4th weekend!

    This a wonderful park for camping , RV, tents. They keep the restroom showers clean and contained. It appeared all the campers were happy campers, children in the lake, riding bikes, Barbeque and fire camps ablaze! Friendly staff and nice campers. We had a great spot enjoyed with friends.

    Site 103. There is an asphalt pad next to the picnic table.

    This campground is my favorite in all of Michigan. My boyfriend and I stayed on campsite 103 which is a lakeside site. It was beautiful to say the least. Perfect place to set up a tent and have a view of the water. Beware if you stay on this site, there is a tree next to it that kids love to climb. Luckily the kids didn't make any noise in the morning so we were not bothered. Our only regret was not bringing our dogs because this site is next to the pet friendly beach area. This area of the beach doesn't have much sand which must be why it was designated pet friendly, but the dog run it located in this area as well (It's a small patch of woods that is actually very pretty to walk through even without your pet). We have also stayed on campsite 84 which is a lakeside site, but you have to walk through a short wooded path to get to the water. This campground has a bike/walking path which was fun to explore. It also have volleyball nets and a basketball court. Every site has electricity, a picnic table, a fire pit, and fire wood is sold in the campground. The bathrooms are kept clean. I love the facilities because they have individual showers and some of the shower rooms have toilets and a sink so you can have a private bathroom versus being in the stalls. As great as this is, I found that some of the showers don't have hot water, so just make sure you find one that does beforehand. Know that even if you don't get a chance to stay on a lakeside site, the beach is easily accessible, making any of the sites a great place to stay.

    We walk here quite often, it's a nice place to walk your dog and just stretch your legs.

    Lake Huron is gorgeous, and surely great place to watch sun rise.

From the top of the springs to the Au Sable river below, that is how many stairs it…read moretakes to descend the nearly 200 foot vertical drop at this local North Eastern Michigan outdoor adventure spot. And while it might not seem like much while you are walking DOWN them, in this antigravity paradox just remember, what goes down must also come back up--unless you plan on sleeping down there. Once you've descended the 300 stairs (actually, even on the way down), the views are absolutely spectacular. The setting is tranquil and relaxing, and there are several placards along the way which tell the story of the Springs and describe so many interesting aspects of this Huron National Forest site. Feel free to take your time meandering about in the shade of the canopied forest--for your looming ascent will have you longing for that serene setting. Once you've read all the informational signs and committed the gorgeous views to memory (or at least snapped some memorable phots thereof), its time to climb. Yep, those same 300 stairs that seemed so innocent on your decent now become your nemesis. In the mid summer heat, you also gain a deep appreciation for the perspiration-evoking power of Michigan's humidity. And, for those ultra-tough cross fit types out there that may scoff at those panting, wheezing, sweating souls such as, perhaps, me, maybe you should attack the 300 stairs Rocky Balboa style and enjoy yourself a victory dance at the top (after which, if you are feeling a little humanitarian urge, you could send down a tow rope or some other means of pulling my kind up the 186 stairs I still need to climb).
