15 RV Site
Camping with Salmon
We were right on the river watching the salmon run and the fishermen landing big steelhead trout! The site was clean and the staff was courteous and efficient.

We actually camped on beautiful site 47 along the Betsie River. It was our first trip with a new
trailer. Camp staff and fellow-campers were friendly, and helpful. We enjoyed every moment gazing at stars around a campfire, fishing the river, as well as biking and hiking on nearby trails. Thanks Winding River/Hip-Camp!

Winding River is a great place to be for the Betsie River salmon fishing. There were lots of experienced fishers in the campground to help inexperienced folks like us. Staff was friendly and helpful, bathrooms were clean with flush toilets and hot showers. The surrounding area was beautiful. If we decide to try the salmon fishing again we will camp here.

Perfect Spot for Salmon Fishing
This campground is truly a hidden gem! Everyone we met, whether guests or staff, was incredibly friendly. Being new to river fishing, the staff went out of their way to offer helpful tips and suggest the best spots. I really appreciate that the river access is exclusive to campground guests, keeping it peaceful and uncrowded. We will definitely be back!

I loved camping here! Everyone that works here are so kind and helpful! The bathrooms were very clean and temperature controlled. The environment was well taken care of and felt very safe! They have a general store that offers plenty of angler equipment, and household/grocery items. It has a great fishing and kayaking spot as well; just note that the nearby river is a bit shallow for the kayak rentals. It’s only about a 20 minute drive from Sleeping Bear Dunes too! I will definitely return. :)

The good and the bad
The host was friendly and accommodating, but a couple of things I feel need to be addressed the bathrooms were clean every day, but the two showers they had in the guy's control knobs were not working, and one shower barely had any pressure. The girls only had one of the two working. It was very tight, close to campsites, but the river was Beautiful. Besides that, it is close to sleeping Bear Dunes and the Platte River, as well as great bike trails. Another thing not mentioned in the description was that you are not allowed to have a tent on the river sites, so we needed to rent a separate site, which cost us an extra $500 for the stay along with our campsite. And we didn't get reimbursed for the additional car that we were charged for when we initially booked it for one campsite, which should've been included when we purchased the second campsite. Other then that i think it is a good csmpground overall.
