Amazing views!

The campground is pretty wide open, so there isn't much privacy, but it is absolutely beautiful!

I had the luck to arrive when there was some heavy weather moving through the area, which made for some absolutely beautiful skies.

Great campground, with the right site….

We got a beautiful site right on the lake - big back-in with full hookups. If you’re not lucky and end up in the middle sections, just be aware that the water/electric hookups can be a bit tricky. (Hint - make sure to have extra cord and hoses.) Otherwise this is a perfect location right on the lake, about a 6 minute drive to all the attractions in town, clean and well-maintained. Will definitely return if the right site is available! At&T and T-Mobile service was fine, plus there’s passable WiFi.

Nice campground, but it can't handle all the electrical draw for every site

This is a busy campground right on Munising Bay on Lake Superior. Reservations for the busy season need to be made months in advance, and even reserving 6 months before our arrival date, we got the last spot. We have a 22 foot travel trailer, so we can fit onto most any site, but this campground draws some huge rigs pulled by tractor trailers.

The people in the office are great. The beach on the bay is spectacular. Overall nice campground at a very good price.

But this is an older campground, and the electrical system can't handle the power draw from the big rigs. People at the end of the power line - beware! Bring your surge protector to protect your electrical system.

We were fine until day 3 where the temps hit 88 degrees, and the big rigs were running their double air conditioners, while we were running just our fridge, water heater and a fan. Draws about 6 amps. We didn't have enough power coming to our site even for that, and the surge protector shut everything down. Thank goodness it did it's job and protected the electrical system on the trailer. At one point the power coming into the site was only 98 instead of 120ish.

So while the big boys further up the line were running 2 air conditioners, we weren't getting enough power to run a water heater, fridge and a fan. We had to put our water heater and fridge onto propane and do without even a fan in 88 degree heat. Thank goodness our fridge and water heater can run on propane, and the lights work on DC, but the fan runs on 110, so it didn't work. 

The people in the office were apologetic, and they said we should have power when it cools down and there aren't so many air conditioners running. That was small comfort when we were paying for a 50 amp site for our 30 amp trailer, and we couldn't even run a fan. At least the surge protector kept us from damaging the trailer electrical system - we hope!

We camped here three nights. Sites are very close together, not cleaned up, and rules are not enforced. Even though we managed to get a site on the lake, we had zero privacy. People parked any way they wanted, making for a total lack of space. I would not stay here. Again.

Needs attention

This campground suffers from a lack of TLC. Not much attention to facilities, trash… noise from highway terrible. We managed a lake site but no privacy. People parked any which way and it was annoying. Too close together. Only one wash house for entire campground. Very undersized. Luckily our neighbors were on the quiet side. We did enjoy walks along the shore. We loved our hike in Pictured Rocks. Location was nice for that. Not much in town. Grocery store if you need anything.

Needs improvements, but stays busy so they don't seem to mind

Vibe: Backyard gathering in a messy but functional camp redeemed by a spectacular setting. 

Cleanliness: Below average. 

Facilities: Restrooms, showers and trash collection are undersized for the size of camp. 

General spots: Some great spots by the lake. Many others might as well been at a fairgrounds parking lot. Not generously sized, close together and minimal privacy. 

Our site: 80. Just a hop across a creek to be on the beach. Creek was pretty stagnant and weedy, so bugs were heavier here than the rest of the camp(which didn’t seem bad). Tucked away in the corner so not much traffic. After first 15 feet, it slopes toward the lake enough to need leveling. 

Noise: Active with families, but not loud. Road noise. 

Cell signal(Verizon): 2 bars. Good enough for video chat. 

Other: Put this campsite 1 mile inland and its rating would go way down. They fill up because of the setting, so they don’t put as much effort into the camp as they should. Trash dumpsters were overflowing and at first I thought it was excusable because it was a Sunday night, but they easily have the space to add dumpsters.

Wide Open RV Park

Nice RV park but just not our cup of tea. Sites are really open to one another although the lakefront sites have great beach access to Lake Superior. Even at the “rustic tent sites”, you will see your neighbor clearly. Bathrooms and showers were clean, friendly staff. Just wish there were more trees or sites were spread out more

Great location, camp on Lake Superior

We booked rustic site I. It is about a quarter mile walk from the parking, but gives you your own beach site. Water, trash and rest rooms are in main campground. There are 2 shower houses. Wood and kindling are for sale. The little camp office has stickers, hats and fun stuff. We have t mobile and had cell service and site has wifi. If you are in main camp there is electric available. If you go rustic, be prepared to walk your trash and food out before turning in. Also, we brought a luggable loo and pop up change tent because I was not walking a quarter mile to the bathroom at 2am. View is gorgeous and if right on the lake is more important than convenience, this is your spot.

Great campground especially the waterfront sites

We booked late yet could get only 2 nights at this park. We were in site # 86 with full hook up. The waterfront sites (lake Superior) were amazing with fire pits behind the campers on the beach. All the big driftwood along the shoreline. It's a nice park, we walked the beach with a cocktail & met some nice people. We made dinner & were sitting there at our picnic table when a ice cream guy came buy in a tricycle playing music came by we bout ice cream for dessert. Loved it he was a volunteer working for the park. 

We had a family next to us in a tent with 4 kids & the youngest cried all night. OMG I'm glad we only had 2 nights of it.  This campground is beautiful, it was cool out and raining a bit so we were limited on what to do.

We went to Picture Rock, Miners Castle, Munising falls, and other little falls along the road.  I would go here again

Beautiful Lake Superior shoreline

City run campground on lake superior. Beautiful views, sandy shore. Most sites have water and electricity, some have sewer hookup. Some walk in sites on the shoreline. We camped on site 5. Pros:

  1. Huge, wide open site, no trees.
  2. lakefront site, great view.
  3. great spot to base camp, near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Grand Island National Recreation Area, and the Hiawatha National Forest.
    Cons:
  4. water and electric are far apart,meaning I had to run 55' of electric cord and 75' of water hose in opposite directions to hook up.
  5. no buffer for strong winds off lake superior
  6. highway is very close to the campground, noise is constant
  7. some sites are low and flood after rains

Right on the beach!!

We lucked out and got a last minute rustic site in late July. No near neighbors, really felt like a private beach! Restrooms were far, far away, so be prepared for that (I have two kids with me and my daughter was not thrilled about the options I gave her!) We brought a sport wagon to haul stuff from the parking lot in, not a bad walk- one a little bridge, into the woods. The waves were loud enough to drown out the highway, which was near. Great location and beach!

GREAT campground!! I have stayed here twice, the campground is positioned right on Lake Superior and if you’re lucky and can grab a lake front space - it’s gorgeous! There are a variation of sites from full hookup to Rustic tent areas, I have stayed in both and they all offer plenty of space for your setup.

The facilities are always clean and the staff is extremely accommodating! They even gave me a refund when they were able to resell my site for a night I decided to stay on Grand Island instead.

They also offer showers for $5 for people backpacking near by.

You can purchase firewood (and wheelbarrow it to your site), some snacks, fire starters, camping necessities, and cute souvenirs in the check-in building.

Serene and Movie Like

Positioned at a good distance from the town of Munising, meaning far enough so you feel disconnected, but still close enough to were you can quickly reach the town, this campground is easily one of the best in the area and one of my favorites.  Complete with entities such as showers, this campground overlooks Grand Island and various other smaller islands, resting in Lake Superior, it really makes you feel like you are in a movie.  One of the hidden gems of this campground is the rustic tent sites, which allow you to camp on the beach, have fires on the beach under the stars, and wake up to the sound of gently crashing waves.  It also is a good size campground, creating the family neighborhood atmosphere and with the way it is designed and the view it gives, it helps make connect with nature and fellow campers in a cool way.  If you want to explore Pictured Rocks, and camping is your thing, this is the place to go.
