Pere Marquette State Park

This park is beautiful. Has gorgeous bluffs views. This park is huge. Over 8000 acres. There are climbing areas and nice trails. The campground is located on the south side of the park. If you're coming from the North, the Powerline Rd is hairy with steep climbs and dips. Only one car can fit in the lane with low hanging trees. If your pulling a trailer, skip this road and go around to the South side of the park to enter. There are signs that read 'state park', but I wouldn't pull my camper through this way again.This campground offers electric and fire pits you can cook on. There is no water hookup but fresh water is available at the dump station.

The park is very nice. The staff was helpful at the visitors center. The campground was the reason for the low rating. Two campground host, both "off duty". The restrooms we're grossly in need of cleaning. We've been on the road camping for almost 4 weeks, and this was the first time we've actually both said..."I am not getting in those showers". We thought it had just opened, being off season so many places, but were told at the visitors center it's open year round.

Drove by. Have used park a long time ago. Nice place to camp. Except for the Lodge anything else is a medium drive away. Horse stables were fantastic. Rode up on the bluff

Beautiful park and trails! There was quite a bit of trash along the trail. Please remember to take out whatever you brought in with you, and bring a bag to help pick up what you see! Trail going back to the visitor's center was a bit muddy, but nothing that can't be managed with a good pair of boots. I'd say the trail is pretty kid friendly, but not necessarily stroller friendly.
