Best Dispersed Camping near Hubbell, MI

21 Reviews

Several dispersed camping options exist near Hubbell, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. Lake Perrault offers primitive camping with multiple shoreline sites and basic rock fire pits. The access road has significant potholes requiring slow, careful driving. A recent visitor noted, "There are a few spots suitable for a small travel trailer, but most of them are better suited to tents."

Mouth of the Huron provides free beach camping on Lake Superior with portable toilets but no other facilities. This area features gravel road access without requiring high clearance vehicles or 4WD. Campers report spectacular sunsets and the peaceful sound of waves. Keweenaw Peninsula High Rock Bay and High Rock Bay offer more remote dispersed camping requiring rough forest service road travel. Reviews strongly caution against standard vehicles, with one visitor stating, "DO NOT BRING A STANDARD CAR DOWN HERE! Road was incredibly rough and no cell service." Most sites in the region require permits, allow fires, and have no drinking water or other amenities.

    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.

    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.

    Rustic beauty!

    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!

    Lake Perrault

    Free dispersed

    Nice small lake, easy access from the main road. Road to the lake isn’t paved and there are huge potholes so go slow. A couple of the campers looked like they’re long-termers, but there was still plenty of room. It’s a dispersed area with some sites with fire pits that are cleared and open for camping, maybe about 6 spots or so. A couple of the spots are right down at the water. 

    There’s also a little trail by the water but the mosquitoes were too bad for me to try and hike it. Though this is definitely a local hangout, with trucks coming in and out almost all day and late into the night, everyone was respectful and quiet, and it was really nice and peaceful overnight. 

    There was a little road noise but not bad at all. Some interesting animal calls overnight as well. There was good cell reception for Verizon and ATT.

    Lake Perrault

    Wouldn’t recommend

    If arriving off-season and lucky enough to have it to yourself it would be a great location, but there is zero privacy otherwise. There were 3 different people/groups set-up, all of which looked to have been there for several weeks. The area in front of the lake is completely cleared and fairly large - if you don’t mind being out in the open and potentially siding directly with others you’ll probably be fine. I saw an additional 3 other vehicles drive in and proceed to exit, so it’s unlikely you’d find solitude here. You’re better off opting for a FR in Ottawa NF.

    Lake Perrault

    Beautiful and quiet lake front

    My fiancé and I (plus our dog) are doing a week of traveling out of our sprinter van through the UP. We stumbled upon this location through this app. This was a Monday evening and every site was being used or people just had stuff at the sites (not sure if anyone was actually staying at the spots) We were having an enjoyable time but then didn’t have a good interaction with one of the other campers. It was a problem to play fetch with our dog not being on a leash. Our dog was staying in our camp and playing fetch away from others. So we decided to pack up camp due to the interaction. Didn’t feel like any good was going to happen the rest of the night after that.
