  Perkins Park & Campground

  Good

  Many campers have enjoyed the swimming beach and the nearby boat launch, making it easy to get out on the water. Solar  As one happy camper noted,“The beach area for swimming in Lake Independence is nice with a pavilion, volleyball, and ping pong nearby.”

  Farquar-Metsa Tourist Park

  Well Kept Campground

  This reservation only campground was well kept and close to amenities in Gwinn like their city park and diners. The full hookup sites were well marked but not a lot of shade and septic hook up was far back. There is a dump site on premise so we utilized that. Tent sites are well shaded and secluded from each other. Tenants were amazing and hiking trails were beautiful. The weather was too cold to swim but the beach area would be nice with warmer weather.

  Peaceful getaway for us and the dogs.

  We come up every year for the meteor shower, and every stay is a great one. New shower rooms, and huge dog park are awesome!

  A lot of work needs to be done

  Looks Like this, Campground has been remodeling for years. A lot of kids won’t need a lot of work. Do you only reason we stayed was for a shower But the shower design was small and water everywhere

  Keweenaw Peninsula High Rock Bay

  Absolutely Amazin

  DO NOT BRING A STANDARD CAR DOWN HERE! Road was incredibly rough and no cell service. That being said, risking my lifted 4WD SUV was well worth it. I may have forgotten to get a permit. Oops. There’s a large turnaround at the end of the road with spectacular views. I turned left at the outhouse and found a similar spot. Flies and mosquitos were abundant but didn’t kill my vibe. Make sure to check the weather before you go. If it had rained overnight, I probably wouldn’t have been able to make it out.

  Van Riper State Park Campground

  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.

  Keweenaw Peninsula High Rock Bay

  Hard to access

  You have to drive like 30 minutes down an old logging road that has atvs and dirt bikes running around. I wouldn’t suggest doing it in a car as some spots got really rough. Any standard suv or truck will make it just take your time. The views are incredible and there’s about 10 spots you can camp. There was some strong winds when I was there.

  L'Anse Township Park & Campground

  Beautiful spot right on Lake Superior

  Stayed on a Wednesday and there was space available but booked solid for weekends. Filled up by 4 pm. Spots are small, side-by-side and no privacy, but they have several spots to watch spectacular sunsets. That was worth the stay.

  L'Anse Township Park & Campground

  Great for an overnight

  This is a small campground, with sites that are somewhat close together. However, there’s a great view of Lake Superior, and the sunset from our site was wonderful. (Site 7) Nice and quiet too. We’d return if we’re in the area again.

  Little Lake State Forest Campground

  Loud

  We came in on a Saturday afternoon campground only 2 sites left. Very loud, generators running constantly. 2 groups playing very loud music. One group did karaoke for 6 hours. Visitors parked at the last vacant site making others think it was full. No garbage receptacles. Dirty bathroom.
  No good access to lake for swimming.
  I do not recommend

  Farquar-Metsa Tourist Park

  Small and Charming

  We enjoyed our stay at Tourist Park in Gwinn. I loved that it was a small park with mostly RVs and a few camping spots. We have an Aliner and most of the RVs were big with their own bathroom, so the facilities at Tourist were almost all ours! Full hook-ups, bathrooms with showers, basketball court, fishing, Escanaba River, and hiking trails all right at the park. Close to Marquette, Presque Isle, and many more beautiful spots. My dog was allowed and they had a leash hook outside the bathroom and dog bag station. We would definitely go back.

  Perkins Park & Campground

  Great for Tents

  Good campground for tenting. Our no electric tent site was right on the water which was great for a quick cool off in the hot weather. Bathrooms were clean. Full hook up sites looked to be pretty uneven so be sure to bring options to help with leveling.

  Big Lake State Forest Campground

  Recent logging removed some of the charm

  This area is being logged so many trees are gone. This makes it less pleasant now but that will change over time. Once we saw this we left and looked for another spot.

  The campground is small but some space is between sites. Several are close together - perfect if you need a group type spot. Vault toilet and water hand pump are available. Go all the way to the boat launch and you can find a beach. Some campers found campsites here too.

  This is a bit of a drive from the main road so maybe reflect on the logging before heading over. Don’t get us wrong though, the area is still quite beautiful.

  Hotel pics are not the rooms you get

  The pics on the site are no where near the room you actually get.  Run down and falling apart.

  Nice place

  Very nice private campground that offers rustic, electric, and cabins. We stayed in a 30 amp electric site. The 30 amp sites are a bit tight but backed up to the woods, so privacy wasn't an issue. Very friendly owners! Can't wait to go back

  Trails End Campground

  Enjoyed camping here

  Lots of wooded campsites for tents, camper vans & small rigs. Several sites are in clusters. Didn't see any pull through. No electric & water hookups. 3 his/hers vault toilets; clean. Potable water near campground entrance. Campground, cabins & trails are still under construction. Although close to Lake Superior, no direct access from campground to the lake. Can hear waves crashing. Highly recommend hiking the trails at nearby Hunter's Point Park. Firewood can be purchased from the general store in Copper Harbor. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. Would stay here again

  Little Lake State Forest Campground

  Nice lake/noisy

  This is a pretty decent campground typical rustic amenities. The sites are decent size there are some pull through sites for RV's. The lake is very nice,clear water. The biggest complaint I have is it is noisy. There is a significant amount of rd noise and sometimes trains go by blasting the horn at the intersection. There are definitely quieter more secluded campgrounds in the UP but it is fine for a quick overnighter in my opinion.

  Nice camp site to stay at with great view of the bay. We drove to Houghton and took a hike. Restroom and showers not close however. The dump station was so easy since small campground. Very good price.

  Perkins Park & Campground

  Fun lake exploring!

  Vibe: Mix of retirees and families. 

  Cleanliness: Above average. 

  Facilities: Average. 

  General spots: Varies from right up next to each other to odd shaped spaces that have extra room and trees. 

  Our site: 40. One of the odd shaped spaces that had extra buffer room and big trees for shade. It was at an intersection at the camp and traffic was pretty steady during the day. 

  Noise: Mostly quiet. Kids played well after dark in a parking lot across from us, but quiet hours didn’t start until 11 and they were never a problem. 

  Cell signal(Verizon): Full bars. I streamed a movie (Anatomy of a Murder...see below). 

  Other: You can swim at Independence Lake right at the camp. If you want to swim in Lake Superior, Squaw Beach is about 10 minutes away. Ate the Lumberjack Tavern and found out about“Anatomy of a Murder” and that it took place at the tavern. Turns out the couple involved had a trailer at the campground.

  Lots of kiddos

  We only stayed here one night but the kids had a lot of fun, they have a lot of outdoor toys. There were kids everywhere.

  Outhouse and showers were clean

  Electric hook up

  Filled water at dump station We stayed in site 10 it was quiet and away from the core of the noise

  Friendly staff Seasonals were a little wild and loud, I like to have fun so it didn’t bother me much but they didn’t always watch the kids, only complaint.

  6 minutes back into the town near the River is a little gas station / general store —- best Pasties!

  Cabins available Rustic tent sites available

  $48 after tax site 10 electric travel trailer site.
