Beautiful location wonderful host
Bike-packing along the North Central State trail from Gaylord to Mackinaw City & this location is the perfect peaceful oasis! Although there is no potable water or restrooms, just one mile away with a direct path from the trail is a rest area with vault toilets & a water pump. We absolutely loved our stay here. The views are beautiful & the place is so quiet & serene. We saw the beavers busy at work & an adorable turtle sunning himself in the field. Forest is beautiful & ground was perfect for our tent. Host was very responsive & hospitable. Went above & beyond for us. If you’re looking for a rustic spot with easy access from the trail the driveway literally crosses the path. So private! So lovely!

Relaxing
Beaver Dam is private, calm, and pretty. Chris was responsive when I had a little trouble finding the place. No trouble driving into the site, the road is navigable in two wheel drive.
I hope to stay there again sometime.

Great spot!
GREAT site, perfect location! Just 15 minutes to the bridge and 2 minutes to a really nice state roadside park (with a beach). The site was exactly as described, a good amount of sun but also there is shade. We will be back!

This was a wonderful secluded spot only 11 minutes from mackinaw city! We stayed at the Beaver site and had no trouble getting to it with our 4WD SUV. We came in late and left early next day so didn’t actually get to enjoy the site much, which is a shame because it was beautiful. It felt completely secluded, the view was great, and the provided seating area with netting was a plus. There was a fire ring and firewood, and the host was responsive to all our questions. Great spot on a great location assuming you’re a low maintenance camper!

Worth the trip
Wonderful host and beautiful, quiet site! We truly enjoyed the fire pit and the table with chairs. It was a great trip!

Great large secluded site close to everything. Probably 1/4 mile from the street down a mowed grass road. My two wheel drive truck had no issues getting to it even though it had rained quite a bit around the time we were there.
