Natural Features
The cabins sit amidst a forest of old-growth trees consisting mostly of Hemlock and Maple within walking distance of Lost Lake. The 92-acre lake gets its name from the lack of apparent inflow or outlet of water. The lake is actually fed by springs and the lake is a "No-Motor Lake". Tall white pines, hemlocks and other evergreens border the lake, Loons can be heard singing across the lake. A watchful eye can catch the resident eagle or osprey as they search the waters for their next meal. The lake is stocked yearly with Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout and also has a good population of Smallmouth Bass and panfish. The cabins are a short drive to the Whisker Lake Wilderness. Learn more about the wilderness HERE .

Campers beware
Van Riper State park has very unlevel sites with no water and 30 amp service. Unacceptable with today’s campers. Time to update Michigan
Micheal S.TravelerVan Riper State Park
Great campgeound
We are not a big state park fan as, in Michigan, there are very close sites and tons of noise. This one was relatively quiet. The site were the standard Michigan close but the campgeound was t full and there many options to choose from. The lake is real nice and the beach area is clean, spacious and it has a general store that has firewood for sale. We first reserved a rustic site, then changed to an electrical hook up site after arriving. The ranger was very accomodating.

Serenaded by snoring
I’m a very simple camper used to having space and quiet…this was not the best time to pass through for an overnight. I arrived and the campground was so loud with people and kids shouting. There is zero privacy (they pack you in) so be sure to get a spot along the edge where you’ll at least have trees. I was very surprised and grateful how respectful everyone was of the quiet hrs…other than snoring and some traffic it was quiet. On a positive, the pit toilet was really clean and spacious. And the ranger at check in was so nice.

Camp sites are WAY too close together
I can hear my neighbors talking at their campsite from mine. We are packed in here like sardines.
Beautiful area, though. Caught a rainbow just as we were setting up camp. And they had wood and ice.

Motorcycle camping
Great find. Sunday night beginning of June. Only camper in the tent section. Quiet spot with good hosts. Close to the lake. Grass and gravel. Restroom share with the park/boat launch area. I would definitely stay here again. If there was a drawback would be sites have some slope toward lake. Being only one there I found flat spot to tent but if busy choice might be limited. No control over weather but woke up and had to pack up in the rain. Definitely check it out! Thanks to the Hosts!

Bewabic State Park
Nice State park!
Really nice park! Some sites suffer from rather uneven parking spots with odd fire pit placements. There are plenty of really nice spots however. The Forrest is mature and very pretty, deer and other wildlife are abundant….including the Canada geese who leave their greasy calling cards all over the grassy lakeside areas. The nearby town has most of what you need. Overall, nice and quiet state park!

Nice Park
Older well established state park. Has high usage in summer. Being older, many lots in modern area are close together. Decent restroom/shower building. Poor wifi reception.

Nice Weekend Spot
Nice spot to hit up for the weekend. Fairly large sites and the bathhouse was rather clean. Downside if your into biking there isn’t much options other than the roadways. Didn’t check out the beach as it was cool out but seems pretty decent with large grassy area.

Bond Falls Campground
Great sites and free!
Beautiful sites, some very private and right on the lake. Boat launch nearby. Sites are spacious and privacy depends in the site. Some are isolated, others are mean to camp with friends. All have fire pit and table. First come, first served. We got there on a Thursday and lots of sites, but was full by the weekend. You have to drive around and pick an open site and caretaker comes around about 11am to check you in. Pit toilets, some ADA accessible.

Nice Park - Wrong Time
Heading across the upper UP from upper Wisconsin and needed a one night stay to dump tanks, etc. The location was great and the park nice enough. Just happened to be there during the last ‘get the camping in with the kids before school starts’ time of the year. Dump station was fine and suited our needs. Verizon signal good as well. Easy in and out with our 28’ pull behind.

Holly Wood Hill Campground & Crandon Saloon Event Center
Clean and Fun
- Yards on the lower sites are large, lots of room with concrete pads, but power/water hookups at lower sites are designed for motorhomes, not travel trailers
- Yards on upper sites are cramped and unlevel
- Taco Truck on site has amazing food!
- The campground is ATV/UTV friendly but the area “trails” are gravel roads except the ATV park east of Crandon
- Dump site is unlevel and leans away from hose hookup making it difficult to fully flush holding tanks
- Driveway to get in and out of dump site is rough and quite tight for a camper longer than 35ft to maneuver around
- On July 4th wknd we paid $60/night for water and power hookup, a little steep for not having full hookups
Curt B.ScoutBaraga State Park
Nice place to base camp.
Overall, it’s a very nice park. Sites are mostly level & of adequate size. Bathrooms & showers are top notch (relatively speaking). There’s a 3/4 mile trail at back of park that well short, is quite nice. The campground itself is quiet, the noise from hwy 41 on the other hand, is noticeable yet not a dealbreaker. Well situated to check out the area.

Clean updated camping
The most beautiful showers and amenities I've seen camping so far! We are fairly new campers but this place wowed us! On our list of where we'd like a seasonal site!

Stunning!
I stayed one night at the end of May and it was stunning (from inside my van). Unfortunately, the mosquitoes came in clouds but that’s expected. Was able to make it in my van and would be back a different, less ferocious time of the year. Just stunning.

Busy Fun!
Busy, loud with lots of fun opportunities to meet other folks, bbq, check out the bar, enjoy good eats and top off the good life with friends and family. This isn’t our usual kind of camping but we have family in Eagle River and wanted to explore the area while visiting. Not sure what it’s like off season, but this is an excellent place for family gatherings and summer activities. Top notch amenities.

Worth a second stay!
Have stayed here twice! Both at hike-in sites surrounded by woods and neighbors far enough away but friendly when encountered. Lots of RV and other tent and camper options as well, smartly planned campground. Superb plumbing facilities ( didn’t use the showers but they looked clean and private rooms for each stall) and even better beach, picnic area with volleyball and tennis, endless hiking and boating opportunities. This park offers it all!

Road noise is awful
This campground is right next to the highway and the traffic noise goes on all night. Granted, there is a beautiful view of the bay since there is no tree line to buffer the noise, but it’s very difficult to enjoy that view due to the constant racket. I will not be back.

Well-maintained State Park
Nice campground right on Lake Michigamme, variety of sites (tents, cabins, electric hook-ups), big clean beach, showers. AT&T was okay, ended up using it for internet over Starlink, which was spotty due to trees. Son had a good time skateboarding and using the playground. We've stayed twice now and likely will again. I did notice the AED was missing from the beach house/laundry area....otherwise it seems accessible.

Great Views and Quiet Camping
8/26-9/1/22- Free camping! There are vault toilets and hand-pump well drinking water in several places, and picnic tables and fire pits at each camp site. The sites are well maintained, clean, and reasonably flat. I tried self registering, but there was nowhere to sign-in. About 11Am the next morning, someone came by to register us. 2-bars Verizon 5G, and 2-bars AT&T 4G.
We rolled in about 10pm and drove through the western loop sites 1-22, pulled into the first pull-through site(W5) that we could easily get our 34’ fifth wheel into and went to sleep. In the morning, I walked the loop and found several others that we could fit(now that it was light out), and we moved over one site to W6. Site W21 has a lake view and a large loop in front of this back-in site that would be super easy to navigate for a big rig. Sites 11 and 12 were really close together but had a good views of the lake as well. Later, we drove over to the east camp site that all seemed to have lake views, and sites E12 and E13 are surrounded on 3 sides by water, a turn-around loop, and more sunlight for solar powered rigs. I didn’t think to check cell signal while there.
The towns of Watersmeet and Conover had the cheapest diesel fuel. The Wild Turkey Bar& Grill in Conover, WI had fabulous smoked meats, and there is a great little hardware store in Conover as well.
