    High Rock Bay

    Awesome weekend

    Nice sites for rustic style camping. As long as you don’t mind hearing ORV noise every now and then, I would highly recommend this spot. It can get crowded but we found a spot no problem on a Friday night.

    High Rock Bay

    Awesome weekend

    The sites here were pretty clean with really nice views. It was a little crowded when we were there but we had no issues finding a spot. As long as you don’t mind hearing ORV noise every now and then, I would highly recommend this spot. Just make sure your vehicle is off-road capable.

    Hancock Recreation Area Beach & Campground

    Great stop over

    Campground offers variety of type sites with mixed amenities and sun or shade. More secluded sites may not be suited to larger length camping units. Decent bath/shower house. Only one for whole park. Lower level sites near the canal would be great, but can be windy. The dump station is design with one lane, so can get a backup. Some site have had fresh gravel applied. It hasn’t compacted yet, so a bit coarse to walk on. Close to Hancock. There is a sand n gravel company nearby, so you do hear noise from that area. Have stayed before, and will again.

    Baraga State Park Campground

    Noisy spot

    Decided to drive north to stay on Keweenaw Bay. The only thing you couldn't tell is that the State Park was right on the road. Literally. No site is quiet. Traffic goes all day and all night. Park was curiously mostly full with families and ither campers set up fir the weekend?. Clearly a popular spot. Very clean bathrooms and showers a lovely Park Ranger.

    Mouth of the Huron Dispersed Camping

    Awkward parking on shifting sands.

    That's a beautiful place to park for free. The fresh water Lake Superior provides water for those who have the means to filter it. There's no grey dump and no trash. However, the fact that it's parking right on a beach makes it very difficult for larger vehicles, such as my 16,000-pound bus. I did manage to park it, though. In the dark.

    Agate Beach Park Campground

    Great beach

    Great beach. Excellent rock hunting. Thimble berries can be found. Sites offer zero privacy. The toilet is horrific.

    Fort Wilkins Historic State Park — Fort Wilkins State Historic Park

    Tiny sites

    Our site was so tiny that I had to put the picnic table on top of the fire pit just to put up our four person tent and park our compact car. There was no privacy and no shade. The area however, is fantastic. The camp store is well stocked. The showers are clean.
