What a cute little camp ground! Friendly owners, we started our day with a nice shower and home cooked breakfast all made from scratch. We had 2 lots which was big enough for 2 tests, 4 adults and 4 med size dogs. Great and relaxing area. Just a short drive away from the main area of Frankfort.

Really loved this quiet campground. We were tent camping and stayed in spot #12. Loved that it backed up to the woods. Clean bathroom and showers. They have honor system set up for ice and firewood for afterhours so this should tell you something about the place. It's right next to a wonderful bike path. Would stay here again while traveling.

Only stayed one night to ride the Betsie Valley Bike Trail but it was clean, quiet and comfortable. Good price too. I rented one of the small cabins so it's like camping without any hassle and I got to sleep in a real bed. I only had to bring a sleeping bag and stuff for smores. They have firewood available right at the campground as well. Had a great breakfast at the Tiny Cafe. Highly recommend.

My family and I genuinely enjoy the smaller , more intimate and nostalgic camp grounds and Betsie definitely is that. They have clean facilities and serve breakfast in an outdoor setting. I will continue to come every year for our salmon fishing trip. Best time is in the fall!??

My stay was short but very pleasant! The campground seems to be a popular spot for fishers. It's well shaded, with clean bathrooms, a dump station, and firewood and ice for sale. The hosts even have a little cafe that's open in the morning where they do coffee and breakfast. There's a trail right by the entrance that makes it super easy to hop on for running, biking, or walking. It's 3 miles (or so) from the cute town of Frankfort which has lovely shops and a nice clean beach. Have already recommended this place to my parents ?.

Amazing little campground. Love the fact the speed limit is 5mph and there are large speed bumps to help enforce this, as well as all the extra signage. Made us feel comfortable enough to allow the kids to ride their bikes and play at the nice playground. Our week long stay was perfect. Super quiet, no loud parties and yelling. I think the owners run a tight ship and we were grateful for that. Very affordable and lots of amenities, including a dump station, fish cleaning house, a cafe, nice camp store and WiFi. Bathrooms and shower house were pretty clean and taken care of. We have no complaints with our stay. 5 stars

Clean and well maintained. The bathrooms/shower houses were always sanitary and stocked with supplies. It is close enough to all of the attractions for easy traveling, but far enough away for a very calm environment. Having reasonably priced firewood and ice on-site is very convenient. We rented bicycles one day and my one of the pedals broke, however it was easily remedied at the front desk, and we were on our way quickly. The Betsie Valley biking trail runs right in front of camp, and we were able to travel on it easily all day. Great camping experience!
