I loved the area and it was gorgeous! I recommend a 4x4 for the tent sites! Highly recommend!

Elli's is a nice little campground with shower and full toilet, also a few port-a-potty type restrooms. We stayed just one night but the owners had about 30-40 of their best buds there for an Independence Day celebration. They shared their bbq with us, and sang karaoke into the night. They also set off quite a fireworks show! They were very generous to let us be part of their festivities. There's water access on a very small stretch of beach. Friendly staff and plenty of space for everyone. There is also a fun little playground for kiddos.

Had a great time! It was also a nice private camping experience because the campsites are not close to the road (a problem I've often had camping).

The campsite had a very open layout. On the plus side, there were minimal bugs. On the downside, there was minimal shade. The sites seemed well set up for RVs. There was one bathroom with running water and two outhouses. There was one shower. The facilities (even the outhouses) were clean and there was always warm water, toilet paper and paper towels. Sometimes people needed to wait to use the shower or bathroom. On our site we had lots of space. We fit our pop-up camper and our daughter's tent, a screen tent over the picnic table and another cooking tent, plus two vehicles, and still had space to sit around the fire ring, toss the frisbee, etc. Next to the bathroom there was a small playground for kids, and it was a very short walk to Indian Lake, right down the driveway. At the lake there was a small sandy beach area, and easy access to put in our kayaks and paddle around. There was a dock with a ladder, to enter the lake where it had a sandy bottom, or one could easily walk over the rocks at the shoreline and reach the sand. The lake was shallow for quite a distance from the shore. Camp hosts were friendly.
The campsite didn't seem to have traditional quiet times at night during our stay, which made it hard to camp with a toddler.
The site is a short drive to Manistique and Lake Michigan's sandy shore, and only about an hour to Lake Superior and Pictured Rocks.

Little slice of heaven!
Tent camping here was so so pleasant! We had a nice space to ourselves with a nice picnic table and fire pit! My daughters and I were very grateful for the cleanliness of the bathroom and shower house! We had a great time relaxing at the site with our dog, and those managing the property were very friendly and happy to share their favorite spots nearby! Great location, clean, quiet, and super peaceful!

Great campsite
Great campsite! Hosts are very friendly, just like Elli the dog, she loved looking around. Toilet and shower are very clean. Super close to Kitch-Iti-Ipi. We also visited pictured rocks
