near Miners Castle

This is the campground to stay at for the easiest access to Miners Castle which is one of the more popular places to check out in the Pictured Rocks area.

Campground is VERY small and first come, first served. Unfortunately, we picked a busy weekend and had to opt to stay at another campground since this one was filled. It was a place I'd definitely want to stay when we return to the area. Sites seemed nice and the vibe of the campground, though 'full', was pretty quiet and chill.

If you stay here you must check out Miners Castle- it's beautiful with the bright blue water surrounding the point!

Picturesque and primitive

We stayed in this campground for 2 nights; one night in site #8, one night in #6. There are only 8 sites in the campground, which makes it a nice, quiet retreat. Two of the eight campsites have accessible fire rings, which are extremely difficult to use. The campground has easy access to Lake Superior and several trails that run along the coastline. It was also the closest campground in the park to Miner’s Rock, the visitor center, and Munising. Vault toilets and and no cell phone reception might be a problem for some.

Secluded

This was a quaint campsite. It's first come first stay, so it's a bit or miss. We went during the end of September so the colder weather kept most people away. It's a pretty far drive from Munising, but fairly close to Miner's Castle. Lots of trails near by. And there is a boat launch at the campsite.
