"Even though harvest fest was canceled this year, there were still plenty of Halloween decorated campsites and kids dressed up in their best costumes to get some candy around the campsites."
"We stayed on site 65, which was situated between to sites where we had to share with one neighbor on the electric, no big deal. All sites with electric were split that way, 2 sites per electric box."
"The staff was very friendly and they actually had campsites that were more private then almost all the Michigan state parks we have stayed at."
"Very nice camp ground, central location for upper peninsula activities. Very nice heated pool. Campsites are a bit close to each other but otherwise very nice."
"Same people are running it, so it's still pretty good, although I was kinda bummed that the indoor pool is gone, but the new heated outdoor pool is great. Sites are nice and well treed."
"This is one of my favorite campsites in Michigan. We happen to stumble upon it after endlessly searching for a spot at Pictured Rocks."
"Sites are large and comfortable with a short distance to pretty Pretty Lake. The fishing is also good."
$28 - $129 / night
"An awesome campground tucked away in the U.P. Big rig access(46’ 5th wheel). Nice concrete pads, full hook up and cable. The staff is great and helpful. Secluded and quiet."
"Small beach area on the lake, playground, and boats available to rent. We’ve stayed in the water/electric sites and they are all very nice, but a bit of a walk from the bath house."
$20 / night
"If you’re one who likes the thrill of winding backroads and wants to be away from all the noise and commotion of the city this is your spot."
"Quiet campground tucked way back in. Most sites have lake access. All have fire pits. Vault toilets. Hiking trails are right there. Fresh blueberries on trail."
$25 - $35 / night
"Another really nice amenity was the lantern posts next to the picnic table and the grill grate attached to the fire pit. Can’t recommend this place enough."
"You'd expect a site close to cars/roads to be clean as it's easy for people to pack trash out to a car, but there was a fair amount of garbage left in fire rings at this campground (we burned what we could"
"We used AT&T for daily internet use, it was very reliable at around 30-80 mbps download speeds. It hasn't been too crowded any time we've been there, can be buggy since it's on the river."
$21 - $24 / night
"It’s close to lots to do, but such a beautiful setting you’ll be fine spending the whole day here, too.
The sites are large and well shaded. The beach looks like an air conditioned Caribbean beach."
"Best campground in Michigan. Sites aren’t too close together yet there are bathrooms in a reasonable walking distance from each site."
$26 - $48 / night
"We choose this campground for its close-ish proximity to St. Ignace and the Labor Day Bridge Walk."
"You are able to rent water equipment, play mini golf and swim around the lake. You are able to buy bagged ice ($2.50) and firewood about 6-7 pieces ($5.00) on site."
ScoutGood size lots with fire pit. Some full hookup and others with electric and water. Also WiFi available however seems not to work well. Cable tv, Laundry and bath house. At friendly with nearby trails.
GuideWe were looking for a campsite that we could drive up to, but we ended up going with a walk up campsite, thanks to the camp host. It couldn't have been more perfect. We got the closest site, which is not a long walk. It was totally private, with a little private entrance to the lake. Very peaceful. Not far from Munising.
TravelerWe decided to splurge on a yurt for our first camping trip of the summer. Well worth it! We stayed in"Kai" one of the newest yurts. It's at the end of what we came to call"the yurt village". Complete with electricity, indoor and outdoor string lights, two deck chairs, a heater, a queen sized bed, and an electric kettle with pour over coffee supplies, it was truly a treat! The bathroom and shower building is about.1 miles each way according to my fitness tracker, but it's doable. Downside: the firepit is small(about the size of a small charcoal grill) and shallow, so it's not really suitable for cooking. Bring a propane stove or some no-cook foods, or go enjoy some of the area restaurants! The site is still a diamond in the rough with cut downed wood and sawdust scattered about, and the ground is uneven. With time, though, it will probably turn out beautifully! We were there for three weeknights and rarely even heard other campers. A quiet and peaceful retreat.
TravelerWe decided to stay 5 days here after our original plan fell through. It’s a smaller secluded campground with larger sites. We arrived in the middle of the week so there were a variety of sites available. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Be prepared to bring enough firewood and supplies as many of the shops nearby close early.
Pros: Little Brevort lake is a great spot for stargazing with good visibility and shooting stars. Large sites, close to Lake Michigan, quiet, secluded, great views, shaded sites, inexpensive, opportunity to listen to native wildlife.
Cons: Sites can be close together but not clustered. Bathrooms are stocked by DNR but were FULL of flies. No individual trash cans, dumpster only. We made the mistake of buying cheap trash bags that ripped on the way to the dumpster.
GuideThis place is a gem. 50 minutes from Munising, makes the perfect camping spot for a pictures rocks trip.
Beautiful beach with all the privacy in the world. The best part about camping here was the Beach!
Another really nice amenity was the lantern posts next to the picnic table and the grill grate attached to the fire pit. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Some tips: DO NOT take 721 trail off Adams trail. Apple maps told us to take this route. It’s really only meant for atv’s and specialized off road vehicles. It would have saved 3 minutes off our total drive time. The local tow truck told us he comes here 3 times a week while he towed us out. And there’s no signal. It was pretty scary.
No running water in restroom, so pack some Clorox wipes.
Bugs are pretty bad on the non-lake side so try to get a site near the water.
LegendMuch better option than the state park at Brimley.
It’s close to lots to do, but such a beautiful setting you’ll be fine spending the whole day here, too.
The sites are large and well shaded. The beach looks like an air conditioned Caribbean beach.
Facilities seem newer and well maintained.
Beach side sites are best, but with plenty of beach trails, I’d camp in any of these sites.
GuideThere is a backcountry campground not 1/2-mile from the 12-Mile Beach car/RV campground. "Backcountry" is deceptive, as there is a road/parking area about 1/4 mile west of the site.
You'd expect a site close to cars/roads to be clean as it's easy for people to pack trash out to a car, but there was a fair amount of garbage left in fire rings at this campground (we burned what we could and packed the rest out). The plus side was that someone had left a handful of split logs behind, negating the need to gather anything beyond kindling.
Proximity to the drive-in sites provided ready access to potable, running water and flush toilets, although there is a pit toilet at this campground.
Lake Superior is readily accessible from both these sites and the drive-in campground.
GuideWe choose this campground for its close-ish proximity to St. Ignace and the Labor Day Bridge Walk. There are modern toilets, and even though the facilities are very dated they are possibly the cleanest I've ever come across at a campground. There are kayak, SUP and Canoe rentals on site, as well as ice and wood for sale. There is potable water and a dump station. (The water is far enough from the dump to feel safe enough to fill our tanks.). Very quiet after 10pm, the quiet hours seemed very enforced, there was not a single generator going overnight. A nice mix of FCFS sites and reservable ones, and there were at least some vacancies even though it was a holiday weekend.
TravelerPros: This camp site was amazing! Very family friendly with plenty of activities. You are able to rent water equipment, play mini golf and swim around the lake. You are able to buy bagged ice ($2.50) and firewood about 6-7 pieces ($5.00) on site.
Plus, Our 3 dogs came with and had a great time!
Cons: Quiet hours were well followed. I felt we had to whisper around the fire, to feel like we weren’t disturbing anyone. It was very family based so got pretty quiet around 8:00 PM. Also, Campsites are pretty close together!
Altogether the camp site is great, I wouldn’t go again but enjoyed it!
