First of all,despite the name of the website, they do not have cabins. This is an excellent place to park your camper for the summer though. In the middle of the Manistee forest, close to hiking, canoeing, fishing ,ATV trails and only a 20 minute drive to lake Michigan beaches or Cadillac

This is a perfect cabin in the woods if you are planning an outdoors family vacation and want to take your animals. Wade and Alex were amazing and went out of their way to ensure that we had all the firewood we needed, extremely informative of all of the trails, fishing spots, and hidden coves the area had to provide. The cabin had a new fridge and freezer, microwave, direct tv, and all the other amenities anyone would need for a week+, including laundry. The cabin itself is still rustic enough that it instilled a good camping feel. The property is amazing, Alex and Wade do an incredible job with the upkeep! As a past tent camper, this property has sweet campsites as well, green grass, lots of real estate, and each site is mostly secluded from the surrounding sites for decent privacy. Perfect for hunting, fishing, and snowmobile trips. This is a three season campground looking forward to a fall trip for the salmon run. Thanks Alex and Wade!

Petersen Creek Cabins and Campground With 47 seasonal and 15 daily sites suitable for motor homes, 5th wheel and travel trailers this park has been completely renovated with all new 50/30 amp electric, water and sewer hook-ups. Sites are spacious and beautifully shaded by mature deciduous trees,preserved as the park was developed. Parking sites are grass covered. It is a solid 4 star rating, destined to be a five star when the swimming pool is completed. For many years Petersen Creek Cabins was a rustic 7 Cabin & 15 Travel Trailer Campground with electric only for the trailer sites. It has been completely renovated.

Peterson Campground and Cabins is one of the nicest campgrounds we have been too. The manager Jake and his wife Angel are AWESOME people and do a GREAT job running it. When we first arrived our outdoor kitchen latch broke and Jake was right there to help my husband fix it and bring tools to help. Thanks so much Jake. Then on July 20 while we were camping here we woke up to a vase of flowers, candy kisses, balloons, a card and a bundle of firewood. That day was our 37th Anniversary. It made our day. The pool was not open yet but that was ok. Only about 30 minutes from Lake Michigan. The pool area is going to be wonderful lol when it’s completed. The campground is kept very nice and clean. It’s very quiet and peaceful. There is a little road noise but not bad at all. We ended up staying for 9 nights. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend this Campground. Thank you Jake and Angel. Tim & Lori Carley

My family spent several days at Peterson Creek this week. Unlike many, we set up tents in the campground portion. It was good to be surrounded by nature! The sound of the creek below was nice to drift off to sleep with. The staff was welcoming and friendly. They came by every evening to make sure we had everything we needed. We were even able to purchase firewood at the office and a better price then those plastic wrap bundles. Our only initial complaint was the road noise but it did not take long to become accustomed to the occasional truck going by. If spending the day in the woods is not your thing, Cadillac and Manistee are about 30 minutes away.
