L'Anse Township Park & Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Quiet evenings on Keweenaw Bay define the experience at L'Anse Township Park & Campground, a municipally managed facility in L'Anse, Michigan, open from May through October. Sites are small and arranged side by side with little privacy between them, but several face directly toward Lake Superior, where westward-facing positions catch the sunset over the bay. The campground fills quickly on weekends, often reaching capacity by late afternoon, so weekday arrivals have a better chance at open sites.

Reviewers consistently note the grounds are well-maintained and clean. Sites 7 through 10 draw the most attention for water views, and site 7 in particular gets repeat mentions for bay sightlines. One practical note worth knowing: reaching the water's edge requires crossing a highway. The campground has electric and water hookups for RVs up to 40 feet, a dump station, showers (recently updated, according to a 2024 visitor), WiFi, and a dog park. Campfires are permitted.

The surrounding area gives campers easy access to the broader Upper Peninsula. Baraga State Park Campground sits a few miles southwest, and Ojibwa RV Park is a short drive west for those wanting alternatives nearby. Reviewers heading to Houghton for day hikes found this a practical base. "Off the beaten path, older facility," notes Rhena, describing the campground's low-key character. Book well ahead for summer weekends, particularly around the Perseid meteor shower in mid-August, when the campground draws repeat visitors specifically for night sky viewing.

Peaceful getaway for us and the dogs.

We come up every year for the meteor shower, and every stay is a great one. New shower rooms, and huge dog park are awesome!

Beautiful spot right on Lake Superior

Stayed on a Wednesday and there was space available but booked solid for weekends. Filled up by 4 pm. Spots are small, side-by-side and no privacy, but they have several spots to watch spectacular sunsets. That was worth the stay.

Great for an overnight

This is a small campground, with sites that are somewhat close together. However, there’s a great view of Lake Superior, and the sunset from our site was wonderful. (Site 7) Nice and quiet too. We’d return if we’re in the area again.

Nice camp site to stay at with great view of the bay. We drove to Houghton and took a hike. Restroom and showers not close however. The dump station was so easy since small campground. Very good price.
