Prime & Private RV/Camper Pad
This piece of property is absolutely beautiful, and we will definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.
Like other people have said the fire pit and the picnic table are on the driver's side if you back in with a travel trailer. The water and electric hookups are a little distance away, but we had no problems reaching them with what we keep in our camper, and we had to pull forward to empty our tanks. These are very minor "issues" in our opinion.
Hearing the river running was very nice, and having access to the river was great. The fire pit, was nice, and the picnic table was clean, and in great shape. The best part of the property though was view of the sky from the driveway by the road. This was the first time in my life that I was able to see the milky way with my naked eye.
The property is on a private road, having a hybrid camper this is a huge plus because we didn't have to listen to cars driving by all night.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quiet location.

Prime & Private RV/Camper Pad
Great place to camp! Awesome river views and easy access with a private staircase down to the water. ORV trails and state land nearby made it perfect for exploring. Definitely recommend.
This is a great place to get away and relax. Situated in the woods the site sits up above the river offering a great view. Stairs make the walk to the river edge very easy, Camp site itself is very large with picnic table and fire pit. A real plus is the availability of electric and water. There is also a sewer connection if needed. While there are some houses in the vicinity, overall is the feeling of being by yourself in the woods. We stayed in a 30' motorhome and will definitely consider staying here again.

Kayaking trip on the Manistee

Prime & Private RV/Camper Pad
We had a wonderful time camping right on the east shore of the Manistee River. The property was beautiful and putting in a kayaks, paddling down the river to the next bridge was very easy. It was about a 2-hour trip and we did that twice the first day. The second day we put in and went down to highway 72 and we floated for 7 hours. The site had a full hookup along with water and electric. Level on our camper was no issue and there was plenty of room. There's actually two sites we only used one. Very remote and Tony was extremely helpful and very accommodating. We will definitely be going back for the next kayaking trip to the same property.

Absolutely loved this place! Full hookup in the middle of the woods, and on the river!
We have a travel trailer and can never find that ‘perfect’ spot. Campgrounds are nice but too crowded with neighbors right next to you.
This was literally like owning up north property and camping on it. 100% will go back!

Private Paradise...not actually

Prime & Private RV/Camper Pad
The view of the Manistee river was really beautiful. Sitting at dusk with a fire roaring and looking at the Manistee was awesome. However, we were there during the weekend so it became a nice location for people watching. The site is near a launch point of the Manistee river so at times a lot of people will float by. Listening to the river at night made up for all the daytime activity. The only real draw back was the site is not setup for full hookup of an RV. There is a small gravel drive that you can back into. Since our dining table is on drivers side we could look out the windows on to the Manistee. The water and electric are 50 feet to the right and the sewer is 50 feet uphill to the left. Luckily the circle drive is close and high enough for gravity to drain the tanks. However, unless you have a least 100 feet of hose it is a dry dump station. All and all we were able to really enjoy our time there even with the little set backs.

We loved the location & having the river so close was a big bonus! Tony was very responsive & helpful. We were able to kayak in the Manistee lake nearby and down the manistee river the next day. Definitely recommend this wonderful spot to anyone looking for relaxation and outdoor adventures! We'll definitely be back!

Great view and private site

Prime & Private RV/Camper Pad
Overall we had a great time! The location of the pad was not ideal for a truck and trailer - backing it in caused the door to not face the campsite.
Overall we had a great experience. Unfortunately, the site was closer to a few houses and didn’t feel as private as we expected. The fire pit was great, a suggestion would be to keep the supplied fire wood covered in case of rain. We were higher on the riverbank than expected, but the stairs made access easy. If you have a tent you will be able to camp right on the site. However, if you have a RV, camper or truck tent like us you will have to camp about 50+ feet away from the actual campsite. Having access past the gate would have made this experience even greater. Tony has a beautiful and peaceful property, and besides our suggestions we really enjoyed our time!
