Secluded and Convenient!

Tent · Group trip

We were able to get into the camp site with lots of shade. We had a great time setting up tents for 7 people and hanging around the campfire in between torch lake days! The lake is only 10 minutes away and there is a Dollar General 3 minutes down the road for emergency needs. The camp site was spacious and provided much nature for any woods loving folks! Highly recommend and would choose again for future Torch lake weekends

Frogs and dogs

Great tent site. Convenient picnic tables, bench, privy and access. The first night, the frogs and dogs barking kept me awake. Second night was better!

A bit overgrown

Tent

Overall, it was great space & very private! The one thing I will say, is it was more overgrown than what was shown in the pictures. On the trail going to the campfire, there was a big tree that fell on the path. I just think it could have been cleaned up a little in that sense. I think the best time to go would be in the fall so that wouldn’t be much of a problem.
