Nice campground with beach access
We stayed at a few places in the upper peninsula, this was the last stop. It’s a nice campground far off the beaten path, about 6 miles of a country road. Vault toilets were pretty clean and there was a path to access the beach. It may have been the site we stayed at (1) but it was the noisiest campground we stayed at. We were by the water pump and the registration so I can’t fully blame the campground. Beach was beautiful and serene.
Beautiful Seclusion!
Nothing like a six mile dirt road to get you off the beaten path!
I lucked upon this spot for my first night in the UP and couldn't have been more stoked.
Site fees were reasonable, the sunset was epic, and the moonrise was incredible.
Toilets were also serviced daily and there was lots of hiking in the area!

Pleased
The sites are first come, first serve. Sites are a little small, and are moderately close to other sites. heavily wooded makes it feel cozy. Some sites have "private" trails to the beach, approximately 50-75yrds away. Drinking water is from a hand pump well (no running water or electrical). All that said, even with the closer proximity, it's beautiful here. I'd gladly come back here for a more extended stay. I may have even heard some wolves off in the distance.
