The turnoff is about 10 miles south of Northshore Entrance Station; the campground is another five miles down Echo Bay Road. The boat launch is a separate stop about 1.5 miles from the RV camp, so allow a short drive rather than expecting to launch from your site. This RV Village is distinct from the nearby Upper and Lower Echo Bay campgrounds; match the name to your directions and reservation.
