Several parks provide potable water fill stations near their dump areas. Winter camping options are limited, with most facilities closing between October and May due to heavy snowfall. When navigating to campgrounds, travelers should note that some access roads may be narrow with tight turns that challenge larger rigs.

GuideLake Ste. Kathryn Campground
Beautiful in autumn
This is a typical national forest primitive campground. For me, it was the perfect middle point while driving along the seven hour plane crash trail. The sites along the lake are really beautiful. I did see a fifth-wheel camper at one of the sites so larger trailers can fit at some sites. Most sites are level but a few aren’t.
I could not find this campground in recreation.gov, so it may be first come first serve only, not sure.
There are pit toilets and hand pumps for potable water.
It’s $22 per night unless you have a senior pass, etc. they use the honor system so there is no one here at the pay station.
There are 24 sites and counting me there was only three or four in use on a Sunday night.

Simple county campground
Nice grassy areas around spacious sites, though no trees or shrubbery between sites. Clean toilets and access to multiple trails in the adjacent forest.

King Lake State Forest Campground
Six FCFS sites make up this little slice of paradise. We arrived late afternoon on a Wednesday in mid-September and only two sites (Sites 1 and 3) were still available. Of the two, we chose Site 3, which sits up on a small hill overlooking the lake. It has a beautiful view and a short, somewhat steep path down to the boat launch. Sites 4 and 5 are the prime spots though, situated right on the lake and offering the best access to the water. The campground filled up on Thursday. After the crowds left on Sunday, we were finally able to grab one of the two lakefront sites--Site 5.
Pretty good privacy between most sites, but sound carries in this small loop. Two vault toilets. Currently $20/night. Okay cell service, surprisingly.
A small, peaceful campground with a beautiful setting made for tenters and small trailers—definitely worth getting there early if you want one of the best sites!
Just a heads up, Google Maps couldn't figure out the proper way to get here (from Marquette way, King Lake Road off of US-41). Our Garmin actually knew the best route in this instance. I recommend double-checking your route before heading this way.

Agate Beach Park Campground
Busy little park
This is a very busy campground as it is in a popular park. But it still was quiet and peaceful. The bathrooms were very clean, and well maintained. I will definitely add this park to my return to list!

Clean bathhouse. Right on the lake.
The 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

Perkins Park & Campground
Gorgeous, peaceful, friendly and clean
This 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!
David L.GuideBaraga State Park Campground
Beautiful place
This state park was just beautiful! It is very well maintained, has clean restrooms and polite and friendly staff. It is right beside the highway, but if you’re in a hard sided camper, you do not hear the noise. It has a great area to walk, very dog friendly, & an exceptionally nice playground for kids. You can even order a pizza at Irene’s and pick it up less than a mile away It was one of our favorite stops!

Camping space is available for tents or rvs, and there are hiking trails throughout the property," explains a reviewer who enjoyed the agricultural surroundings.
What you should know
Cell service coverage: Many campgrounds in the area report serviceable connectivity despite remote locations. "I was happy to have service in the woods. We were able to work and talk nice walks while we had free time. A few bars with Verizon and we can log on. Big plus," reports a camper at Sparrow Rapids Campground.
Limited bathroom facilities: Several campgrounds operate with minimal amenities. "There are no bathrooms or showers in the park so you must have a self-contained RV meaning pop-up campers and tents are not allowed. There are flush toilets in the waterfront park just outside the campground," notes a reviewer about facility limitations.
Reservation requirements: Peak summer months see high demand for limited camping spots. "Stayed on a Wednesday and there was space available but booked solid for weekends. Filled up by 4 pm," cautions a visitor to L'Anse Township Park regarding availability patterns.

Very orderly and great Park Manager. Family & pet friendly with awesome playground," shares one family who enjoyed the facilities.

Very clean bathrooms. They are adding a large game area and they have a swimming pool and hot tub," describes a reviewer at Country Village RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: Many RV sites in the region require attention to leveling. "Some of the spots are large. Our site was grass and had some ruts from previous guests. It sounded like they had a lot of rain earlier in the summer," cautions an RV camper about ground conditions at River Road RV Park.
Full hookup availability: Country Village RV Park provides comprehensive RV services. "The sites are well maintained and we required no additional leveling. Sturdy and maintained picnic table at each site. Electric at our site -39- was error free. Water pressure is excellent," notes a reviewer who appreciated the reliable utility connections.
RV site positioning: Some campgrounds allow flexibility in how RVs are positioned to maximize views. "The sites are designed to be back-in but we asked if we could pull in forward so the view of the river was out our front window and our door opened right onto the patio," explains one RV camper about their accommodation experience.
