River Lookout
I wish the host would have been more forthcoming about the location. It was in the middle of a neighborhood, practically on the sidewalk. Which was disappointing. From the pictures I thought I had booked a secluded wooded area. My wife, daughter and I were just out there for the whole neighborhood to see. We ended up packing up ending our vacation early and driving the 5hr drive home.

We had a good time here. It's a nice lot in a nice location. Was very peaceful there every night....and we were there for 14 days and nights. Beach is less than 5 minute walk...river right there for fishing. 👍👍. The host was fantastic. Very easy going and nearby for any questions. They were all friendly and let you be to yourself for the quiet time. Would recommend this place to anybody who don't mind a little rustic camping (some stuff nearby to help) makes it easy. It's suitable for a small pop up or tent no problem. Enjoy!

Beautiful setting, a little to close to the neighbors, but I don't think they were around. Right on a creek and short walk to lake huron beach, lovely
