2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several campgrounds near Eben Junction, Michigan provide rustic cabins with varying amenities and comfort levels. McKeever Cabin offers a secluded forest experience with two bunk beds, a woodburning stove, table, and seating. According to visitor Racheal M., "Private cabin on McKeever lake. Loved this spot! Cabin with two bunk beds, a woodburning stove, table and seating. Water pump available as well as a woodshed and outhouse." Superior Times campground includes cabin rentals with access to clean outhouses and shower facilities. Grand Island Cabins provides more remote accommodations that sleep up to 8 people with 4 bunks, a porch, and fire pit, though these require a 3.1-mile hike to access.
Rustic cabins dominate the region's offerings, with most requiring advance reservations. Tom's Lake Cabin accommodates larger groups with a visitor noting it "sleeps 10 with 6 single beds and 2 queen beds" and features a "wood stove [that] was awesome." Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins like McKeever prohibiting pets while others welcome them. Most cabins in the area lack electricity and running water, creating a true off-grid experience. Wandering Wheels Campground, a KOA property, offers more developed cabin rentals with access to amenities like a heated pool, playground, and camp store. Winter accessibility differs significantly, with McKeever Cabin requiring a mile-long ski or hike in during snow season.
Visitors should prepare thoroughly for cabin stays as amenities are limited. Most cabins provide only basic furniture and wood stoves for heat, requiring guests to bring their own bedding, lighting solutions, and cooking equipment. Water is typically available from pumps or spigots located near but not inside cabins. One reviewer recommended "packing as much as you can in packs you can carry" and bringing "something to carry water" from the pump. Bug spray is essential during summer months. While some locations like Superior Times have a small market nearby (about 6 minutes away), most cabin campers should plan to bring all necessary supplies. Firewood is generally provided at cabins with woodstoves, though quantities may be limited.
"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."
"We opted for the rustic campground which still allowed access to the bathroom and showers, but was secluded from the cabin and RV area. The lake access was great! Warm water and good fishing."
from $20 - $200 / night
"Picnic tables and site rings. Check in at noon, check out at noon. Just make sure to leave by noon or they charge you $100."
"We stayed in a full hook up 50 amp site, and experienced no power issues despite 2 days of freakishly high winds and scorching heat in the 90s. This is an immaculately clean and well run campground."
from $40 - $45 / night
"This location kept me coming back. The KOA now offers may different activities for kids too."
"Super close to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore! This KOA is pretty nice. Has a dog run, facilities including showers/bathrooms/laundry, along with a general store!"
"Don’t judge a book by its cover. The campgrounds are a bit “quirky”…lots of art and signs etc. BUT the owner and his family were really sweet and cared about the guests."
"Everywhere else was booked so I wasn’t hopeful. The owner answered the phone, even gave me a little background about the place- and was happy to take my booking."
"Lovely campground in a good location. I stayed in the top area with electric only hook ups. This area is pretty secluded. The full hook up area is pretty busy with several activities."
"Full hook up, luxury cabins, rustic cabins, electric sites, walk in tent sites. Location is perfect. Only wish would be that they add more bathrooms/shower rooms."
from $40 - $50 / night
"Was slightly passed the pin marker on the same unlaced road - only about 1/4-1/2 off the highway."
"Could only find two pull off spots which are both relatively small, and only one has a fire pit in good condition so you’d need to build back up the other a bit."
"The campground is right off the highway heading west into Munising. There are picnic tables and a fire pit at each site as well as a trash can."
"It is in need of improvements with the playground and bathrooms. Also would be nice if it had a store. It has an outdoor inground pool that was nice. Our site was clean, level and big."
"No electricity, no plumbing.. just nature. I suggest Murray Bay group site. Excellent location with your own small beach."
"Grand Island sits in Lake Superior North of the city of Munising and near-by Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, in fact while hiking the island you will have plenty views of Pictured Rocks! "

ScoutGreat spot, easy to get to. Could only find two pull off spots which are both relatively small, and only one has a fire pit in good condition so you’d need to build back up the other a bit. Very convenient spot that met all my needs
ScoutPerfect spot to pull off and camp for the night or weekend! Big pull in area where we stayed for the night, there was one other person but we stopped once we noticed the fresh tracks and didn’t go any further back. Perfect overnight spot.
RangerThe first thing we noticed driving in is that the wash house closes today 10/14 at 4 PM for the season, which isn’t an issue for us. Open sites, walkways to a rocky beach, but also trail to a sandy beach. Our site is not level.
TravelerThe campsites are very close together so not for anyone looking for solitude. Other campers are very friendly. It is right on Lake Michigamma? Nice beach for swimming. Boat launch with dock for fishing. Big playground
ScoutThis Campground offers peaceful beauty. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The office ladies will help with your needs like firewood, waterfall locations, hiking trails, recommending great sites (especially if you want to watch the sunrise in the mornings), there is a Campground host and emergency number for anything after hours that may happen (noisey neighbors for example) but those are rare!
Bathrooms are CLEAN, showers (do NOT have the coin machine anymore, so no need for quarters), grounds and campsites & fire rings are clean and kept up on.
Beach is clean and the staff keep dogs off the beach so there's no poop or dog pee in areas where families can swim. BUT there is a designated area for dogs to go swimming! The staff gives treats to dogs in the park (with the owners permission of course)! A pier to go fishing off of, boat launch, kayaking launch areas!
They have several rustic sites, electric &water sites, electric only, and full hook up sites. There are handicap accessibility to the beach and 2 of their shower/ bathroom buildings.
General Store, laundry mat and café right across from the Campground.
Remember as any Campground they do get their busy times but they also have slower times, just ask the ladies in the office and they will tell you the time of seasons that would give you a more quiet relaxing experience if that's what your looking for & don't forget to catch those sunrises!
Trust me tho, this is a unforgettable beautiful place to camp AND with some history!
Make sure to watch Anatomy Of A Murder and don't be afraid to ask the staff and locals about it!
TravelerTurned us away after calling ahead and telling us to come, said he didn’t need the money and I politely said ok even though I was miffed about being told to come. He started taking photos of our vehicles even though we told him calmly we were leaving and had no visible aggression towards him. Turned into a weird altercation.
RangerA yurt style tent, cabin, and camping spots within walking of Indian Lake access. Off the main road so quiet is a plus and not far from amenities in towns near by!
GuideGreat campground right on the shores of Lake Superior. Great sand beach 15-20 ft below camp sites. Sites are fairly large and feel private. We were in site 5 with direct views of the lake. Multiple, CLEAN (very clean) vault toilets dispersed throughout campground. Campground is isolated from nearby towns (14 miles to nearest town). Campfires allowed but you’ll need to bring wood, hosts are not allowed to sell any. In short, place is a 10/10.
TravelerThis was a great campsite, bathroom was super nice, the owners came and said hi to everyone and gave advice on where to visit in the area. Super relaxed environment and very clean, also the water from the pump actually tastes pretty good. Not rusty at all.

Lake activities nearby: Superior Times campground offers watercraft rentals right on Au Train Lake. "We enjoyed our time at Superior Times. The kids fished, rode Sea Doos - rented them for $60/hour, played basketball, and had a great time," notes Tressa B. The campground's lakefront location provides opportunities for swimming and fishing without traveling far.
Hiking trail access: Rippling Rivers RV Resort connects directly to local trail systems. "If you love mountain biking or hiking you stay here. Period. You are right on the trails," writes Rory L. The trails include a special "grom trail" that runs next to the upper campsites, making it ideal for families with children who enjoy outdoor activities.
Winter sports options: Seasonal activities expand camping options year-round. "Located next to bike trails, orv trails, and the ski hill. Good location," reports Kyle P. about Rippling Rivers. During winter months, some cabins require alternative transportation methods to access, creating a unique adventure.
Private lake settings: Hickey Marsh Dispersed Camping offers quiet waterfront sites without the crowds. "Just off M-28, down the right side road a bit you will see campfire remnants and a spot where people tend to park on the left," explains Hunter W. These dispersed sites lack formal amenities but provide a more secluded experience than established campgrounds.
Modern bathroom facilities: Clean restrooms rank high on camper priorities. "Bathroom was nice, shower house a little crusty but not the worst we've been too!" reports Dana K. about Pictured Rocks RV Park and Campground. The quality of facilities varies significantly between properties, from basic outhouses to modern shower buildings with coded entry.
Brewery access: Gitche Gumee RV Park & Campground features an unusual amenity. "Has a micro brewery onsite too," notes Crystal G. This unique feature provides evening entertainment without leaving the campground, which appeals to adult campers looking for social activities after a day of outdoor adventures.
Site flooding concerns: Some campgrounds have drainage issues during heavy rains. "We drive to our spot to set up...and the entire...I mean ENTIRE campsite was flooded, with no chance of us setting up. It wasn't just our site, multiple sites were completely flooded out," reports Nicole L. about Wandering Wheels Campground.
Varying refund policies: Munising-Pictured Rocks KOA and other established campgrounds have strict cancellation rules. Checking these policies before booking is essential, especially for trips planned far in advance. Some properties have been noted for difficult customer service experiences regarding refunds.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely between locations. "T-Mobile cell services was very good," shares Amy Y. about Hickey Marsh, while other locations report no service at all. This becomes especially important for those needing to stay connected for work or emergency purposes.
Kid-friendly activities: Superior Times welcomes families with special amenities. "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," writes Melissa M. The social atmosphere can be either a benefit or drawback depending on your preference for quiet.
Cabin size considerations: Grand Island Cabins offers multi-person accommodations after a moderate hike. "Great cabin in the woods. 3.1 mile walk in. With porch and fire pit plus much more. Pit toilet with a roof and 4 walls. sleeps 8 with 4 bunks," reports James K. The distance to these cabins requires planning for families with younger children or mobility issues.
Seasonal bug preparation: Insect activity peaks during summer months. "There were a lot of bugs while we were there, so it was hard to stay outdoors for a long period of time during certain times of the day," shares Sam C. about Pictured Rocks RV Park. Bug nets, screened shelters, and appropriate repellents become essential equipment.
Site selection strategy: Pictured Rocks RV Park and Campground offers varied site options. "This is a very wide open center, or back in to Wooded sites. All site are very large and spacious. Picnic tables and site rings," notes Lauren M. Experienced RVers recommend requesting specific site numbers when making reservations.
Full hookup availability: Utilities differ between loops at some campgrounds. "We camped in the upper loop which had spacious sites and clean bathrooms but no sewer hook ups. The lower full hook up loop looked a little cramped," explains Scott B. about Rippling Rivers RV Resort.
Leveling considerations: Terrain varies significantly between sites. "Site 4 is gravel and very up hill. But we were able to make our Solitude work off autolevel," shares Lauren M. First-time visitors should bring leveling blocks and stabilizers, especially for the more rustic campgrounds with less developed infrastructure.
