My family stayed in the cabin at Bruin Lake Campground, which is in Pinkney Recreation Area. We had a blast! We had plenty of room in the cabin. The view from the porch was priceless. They other campers were very friendly and the people that work there were very helpful. I plan on going there again some time soon. I would recomend this area to anyone who wants a relaxing retreat.
