Little Bay de Noc Campground

Nice campground, a little pricey considering there are no hookups or real bathrooms- just pit toilets. You’re paying for the proximity to the lake. Also be warned that if you are trying to follow the rules and attempt to get a non reservable site ‘by the rules’ you are doomed to not get a site here. Hosts don’t usually care about the rules, if you come in and leave a chair anytime and pay your $, it’s yours. Also, last time we were there they allowed dogs to run around free ‘as long as they aren’t bothering anyone’. Well it bothered our dog who we don’t allow to run around, and I cleaned up much more poop than usual too. But the sunsets are beautiful and the beach is nice.

I’ve grown up camping this area my whole life and am a local. The campground is 5 star. But the campground hosts were beyond terrible. Every time we were met by them, it was with aggression. The first night, I admit, we were loud but not beyond the fireworks being blasted all around us. It was July 4th weekend and usually it’s a more energetic weekend. Our two sites had mingled into one site fire and at 10:30pm we were met by the two yelling at everyone to disperse and turn the music down, which we did without confrontation. The second night we respected their concerns and at 11pm were still met with aggression that our generator had to be turned off (Honda Gen. quietest on the market) or the cops would be called, we’d be given 30 minutes to leave and receive a DUI for driving(their words). The morning we left, we made sure our sites were spotless, even cleaned up garbage that was left there from before and fixed some old ruts. We received a call almost immediately from the host that if we didn’t return to pick up a can that was left in the fire pit, that the sheriff and DNR would be called to issue us a tickets. They never once approached us calm or with any respect. We even spoke with the neighbors near us and they stated that we weren’t nothing to complain about. So if your going to stay here, make sure your okay with going right to bed at 10pm and don’t make a noise louder than a conversation.

Very Loud. The People in the Group Site was so loud you could hear them in the 2nd loop and they were still loud after quiet time and I feel the campground hosts should be out doing laps around to make sure everyone was following the rules In the evening NOT just during the am, Sorry but I didnt come to listen to there car alarms going off constantly, kids screaming, pounding, dogs barking, Voices so loud. Im beginning to think thats why our neighbors next to us would leave all day and return after they were completely quiet.

Great place to camp and explore, nice host and quiet neighbors

Very nice campground with many lots to choose from! 20$/night, good price. I loved the fire pits with the built in grill. Fun, fun!
