Some mention

mosquitoes

"Visitors consistently rate Rivermouth Pines highly for its scenic, quiet riverfront sites among large pines and for being family-friendly. Common negatives are heavy mosquitoes in summer and the rustic on-site facilities (vault toilets, no electricity) while modern restrooms/showers are available in the nearby modern loop."

Best Time to Camp at Tahquamenon Falls-Rivermouth Pines Campground

Pack your bug spray for summer visits, as mosquitoes can be quite active, especially following rainfall. Even during warm months, you'll want to bring layers—cool mornings and evenings are common, making campfires all the more enjoyable. If you're planning a late-season escape, be aware that water may be shut off as the campground transitions to rustic status with reduced fees, offering an even more back-to-basics experience for hardy campers.
