Good for limited amenities

This campground has 3 spacious sites, a vault toilet and stream water (downhill) that must be filtered. Sites are $20 payable at the visitor center. We filled up water at the visitor center. There is a hiking parking lot at the entrance to the campground and several cars drive into the campground to turn around. The ranger drove by at dusk. Very quiet and no flies when there were bunches at Union Bay

Lots of hiking!

We love to go to the porcupine mountains to hike with amazing views! The campgrounds in Michigan are great with private sites. It’s true camping with only water and toilets available with the great outdoors and not a lot of extras. The porcupines is an interesting area of the upper peninsula landscape with so many hiking opportunities!
