On a lake and near the Porcupine Mountains

Finding myself with a squealing front wheel on a holiday weekend was trouble. Luckily a local paused his celebration preparations and helped me fix the problem. We got to talking and he suggested this campground. It is similar to the state park and just down the road. He also said,“it’ll save you a few bucks too.” 

We stopped by to check it out and found it was very similar to the state park. The boat launch and playground are in the middle as you drive in. Campsite loops are on each side. These sites are further from the water but nicely sized. Firewood is for sale right by the entrance. There are a few tall trees but not much vegetation between sites. We prefer more separation so this wasn’t as appealing. 

We did like that this was a few miles closer to the Porcupine Mountains (hiking and Lake Superior visits) and also to town. It was also nice to get cell service at various points around the lake.
