Best Dispersed Camping near Houghton, MI

You camp on the sand first come first serve, loved it no facilities pure dispersed.

Easy gravel road access ,no clearance issues or 4wd needed.

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.

One of my absolute favorite places to camp on Lake Superior. Rustic and beautiful. Carry in, carry out. Respect the land and space for those who have been enjoying this land for years and wish to for many more. Visit to see for yourself!

Very nice n open for pulling in and doing dispersed camping, nice overview of the lake from the hill , quite too, fire pit made of rocks

Awesome spot right on the waters of Lake Superior. Absolutely gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. The drive out is manageable is about any car, four wheel drive helps if you decide to go deeper down the road.

The drive was pretty rough. My F150 with a truck camper made for a long, slow drive. If the pot holes were filled with water, my feet would have gotten wet😬. Once to the point, the views were spectacular. More people were there than expected, but the sites were far enough apart to enjoy some solitude. Camping on Lake Superiors shore is a must, and this is the place to do it.

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.
