This is one of many small rustic campgrounds in the state forest along Lake Superior east of Grand Marais. A gravel road leads you into the park where the first thing you notice is a 1,000 – acre lake great for fishing (bass, pike, perch), paddling around, or simply enjoying a nice water view. Some of the camp sites are right on the lake and are well-suited for a tent or small trailer. 

As you enter there is a self-pay station as this park is not staffed and sites available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Campsites are $13/night but since it is managed by the Michigan DNR so you need a Recreational Passport. If you are a non-resident the additional daily cost is $9 which can make this quite expensive for a rustic site. All 13 sites have picnic tables and fire pits. There are some tall trees for shade but there is not a lot of privacy between sites. There are vault toilets (which were clean and did not smell), water pumps, and trash receptacles in the campground.

A boat launch and a few parking spots is available. The concrete boat launch was super easy to get our kayaks in and out and would be suitable for a small boat too. When we visited there was nobody in the campground except a plethora of black flies. The Blind Sucker Pathway leaves from the park and is a 7-mile trail that runs over to Lake Superior.

Overall, this is a nice little campground on a lake. Some sites are in a wide open area so there is no privacy or shade but the lake sites are super nice. Gravel roads lead into the park but they were in good shape.
