    Washington Island Campground

    Must stay!!

    This was our second stay. Stayed on site 70 both times. We had a 35’ trailer last year and 42’ fifth wheel this year. The ferry ride was easy to navigate and when we arrived we were able to just drive right on. Even with our 13’2” clearance they easily accommodated us. Campground check in was easy and smooth, owners were friendly and gave us tips for navigating into our site with a big rig. Overall it’s very quiet and relaxing on the island with plenty of nature things to do. Visit School House Beach (don’t take the rocks!), the lavender farm and for a few extra bucks have seafood at Sailors Pub on the water. We will definitely put this campground in our regular rotation of places to camp.

    J.W. Wells State Park Campground

    Beautiful and peaceful

    Really nice sites and you can see the water from most of them. Some sites were muddy but I think it was mostly from how busy it was over Labor Day. Facilities are clean and the camp hosts are so sweet (they have matching vests and serve coffee every morning). Really nice recreational activities (basketball, tetherball, horse shoes) and a trail leading to the picnic shelter and sandy swimming beach.

    Au Train Lake Campground

    AuTrain Lake Campground

    Spent the 2025 camping season here as the campground host and it is fantastic. May/June quiet with only the sounds of eagles, bull frogs, mosquitoes, and black flies. Bring your bug spray and nets, fish from the small (donation) boat launch and enjoy a picnic/swimming at the day use area. July/Aug the bugs went away and summer was here and gone that fast. The water is beautiful and warmer than Lake Superior. Watch for afternoon thunderstorms. Peaceful campground.

    Camp Seven Lake Campground

    Camp 7 Campground

    Relatively nice campground, was there over Labor Day weekend but used campsite as base and spent time in day trips to Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore & Sault St Marie. Camp ground was pretty full. The lake is accessible with a small beach and swimming section that many campers used. Sites are plenty big. Water shared between sites, fire ring, table & lamp post at each site. Good place to disconnect from devices because Internet & cell connectivity was nonexistent with Star Link & TMobile. We still enjoyed our 3 day stay.

    Munising-Pictured Rocks KOA

    Great location central to Munising & Pictured Rocks

    Excellent location! Not a whole lot of full hook up sites available. Several out in the open right at the highway… back in the woods there is electric only. Peaceful campground but no cell service or starlink under the tree canopy. Fine for a night or two but plan accordingly if you need cell service.

    Widewaters Campground

    Nice Campground Even Better Hosts

    Mike and Mary were great.  They gave us good advice on what to do and went out of their way to help us.  It was a pleasure meeting them.

    Hovey Lake Campsites

    Limited Solar & Starlink

    These are 4 beautiful sites, nestled in a forested area near a lake. Water and vault toilets available. BUT if you are like us and have solar and connectivity needs, this is not the stop for you. Since we had work that had to be done, we sadly moved on.

    Catchin' Crickets Campground

    One night stay

    Clean, sites are level . I was charged $45 for a site with electricity. A site without is $35 or at least this is what I was asked to pay. Host is friendly . Trees need some time to grow larger to provide any shade if anybody looking for a campsite with shade. Reasonable good space in between sites.

    Newport State Park Campground

    Miss Land

    We hiked into site 7 and were delighted by the trees covered in moss. The site had a food safe and pit toilet. It rained the whole time, but we loved it and want to return.
