For Gitche Gumee Campground and RV: Per their website being open all year I drove there without calling. After all, why would they be full this time of year? When I got there, no plowed drive into the campground. No even a previous attempt which would be evidenced by plow piles. Completely untouched. So I called his cell phone. He answered and said they were closed because they have 5’ of snow and haven’t been able to get plowed out. No way near 5’ of snow that I could see. Perhaps 2’-3’. Maybe drifts that I couldn’t see in the interior? Obviously haven’t been open since any kind of substantial snow amounts fell. Not a big deal to me. I went to the other all year round campground in area. Super nice facility which I doubt Gitche would have been based on the crumbling signage near the road.

For Gitche Gumee Campground and RV: Update on previous review. Other campers are have been in contact with the same story of no disclosures and no refund practice. Eastern Michigan BBB has them rated as “F”. Do not do business with them. If you were ripped off file a complaint also with the Michigan Attorney Generals Office Consumer Affairs.

For Gitche Gumee Campground and RV: Buyer beware. The campground has complaints with the Michigan Better Business Bureau and the Michigan Attorney Generals Office. My experience was making a reservation in February for July8-12. The asked for a letter and the check. Due to gas prices and Covid we contacted them June 20 to cancel. They did not know we had a reservation even though they cashed our check in February. We never received a confirmation, campground policy or our refund. They need to close down. P

For Gitche Gumee Campground and RV: September 3021. Rates; $70+/ night. Electric and water. As others have said, long past it’s prime. Nothing on their web site is correct. Lots size is nice but not remarkable. No long fudge making, movies, WiFi, common building and other claims. They did put in a craft beer bar for serving their beer. $5 a glass so priced fair. This place is past do for a major renovation. I cannot recommend this place at all, but it does appear to be popular. Also it looks like the DNR closed off the league beach access across the street.

For Gitche Gumee Campground and RV: Started off ok. Pulled in and navigated to office despite rough, muddy, dirt roads. Went to check in and the owner welcomed us and began searching through little white squares of paper staples to receipts that were taped on wall, desk, and in floor before finally finding our reservation. That’s fine we can appreciate the charm of doing things the old fashioned way. When he confirmed our departure date I corrected him we were leaving a day before what he has written down. He apologized and said he would refund that night right away. Mind you one night was $65! Our site was good enough, woodsy. The campground had absolutely no extra amenities. Everything was no longer in operation. Looked like a fun place about 30 years ago. Long story short we stayed 4 nights and despite friendly reminders throughout our stay where he assured us he would refund us the extra night he mistakenly charged, he never did. We ended up calling a couple days after we left to again kindly remind him. This time he was so rude going off on us for no reason and finally ended up hanging up on us! We never did get refunded the extra night he charged us and his reservation system is so archaic that I didn’t have enough documentation to win a charge dispute with my credit card company. Truly unbelievable he got away with this. First time we’ve ever had such a blatant injustice at an RV park.

For Gitche Gumee Campground and RV: The campsites have woods around them. That’s the best I can say about the whole place. Our site, although with nice trees around it was not very level. There was no WiFi and no cable, but was the most expensive campground on our seven week trip at $59 a night. The clothes washers are so small, it takes two to do a normal size load (which, of course means more money for the owner). We had to go out and didn’t get back until after dark. We almost missed the campground as there was no light on the sign, nor anywhere in the entire campground. The owner has the campground for one reason - to make money any way he can. He appears to be the only one at the place, which I assume means he doesn’t want to pay anyone, so a lot of things aren’t done, no maintenance, and if you need something good luck on finding him. Try somewhere else if you can.

For Gitche Gumee Campground and RV: Sorry this place needs a complete overhaul. The bathrooms were terrible, no WiFi as advertised. It was the only campground available.
