Marquette Tourist Park Campground

We have been camping every Labor Day at Marquette Tourist Park for about 8 years. We come up from the mid Michigan area for Marquette’s Blues Fest. This park is set in a beautiful area around the Northern University. Some sites have full hook up that we love, but this year we didn’t reserve early enough to get one. The site we are on is #2 and it’s very nice, facing the water. It has water and electric and a great big tree for shade. We love Marquette, it’s our “Happy Place”.

This is a municipal campground adjacent to other city rec property and the police station, NMU. Sits on the black river basin which equates to a fairly large lake. Scenic for spots across from the basin. Some spots have no shade so be sure to inquire about that when booking if you’re coming in the summer. Shower facilities dated but pretty clean and do the job.

Very nice campground with old growth trees located in the city of Marquette. Close to bike paths and mountain bike trails. Nice beach area. Close ride to the downtown area with lots of shops and dining. Newly remodeled restrooms. Large sites, friendly staff.
