Sites range from basic to full-service with most properties featuring picnic tables and fire rings suitable for evening relaxation with pets.
Dog owners find numerous recreation opportunities at Carney Lake State Forest Campground, where the surrounding wooded areas provide excellent on-leash walking. Lake Antoine offers a beach area and multiple playgrounds, though pets must stay away from designated swimming areas. The Menominee River at Rivers Bend Campground provides water access points where dogs can cool off during summer months. Twelve Foot Falls County Park combines camping with nearby waterfall trails suitable for leashed pets. Most campgrounds in the area maintain quiet hours starting at 10 PM, with enforcement of barking regulations to ensure peaceful stays. Seasonal considerations include tick prevention during summer months and planning for cooler temperatures when camping in early spring or fall with pets. The area's numerous ATV trails provide additional recreation options, with Summer Breeze Campground located directly across from trail access points.
"Located close to Iron Mountain area. Sites are very nice and tucked into the woods. Gives the perfect feel of good camping."
"Lots of trees and foliage so sites are at least semi-private - nearby lake for fishing and swimming and hiking trails too!"
"A train runs next to the campground but only comes through periodically we were there a week and only saw it twice. Tons to do up here waterfalls caves and the iron mine tour"
"My husband and I have been traveling around the US and happened on Summer Breeze at the last minute. Nikki and Jerry are wonderfully accommodating, the campground and its facilities are very clean."
"Close to Iron Mountain but tucked away in the woods enough to be secluded. We stayed during the week and we're the only site occupied. Very peaceful, lake was very nice"
"We took a chance on driving 1.5 hours to Carney Lake State Campground and we are pleased that we did. The sites were first-come first-serve and we were lucky to get a site on the lake."

TravelerYou could drive by and miss this little gem. Beautifully kept up county park with clean shower house. Pet friendly, they even have a hitching post for your pet while visiting the bathrooms. On site hosts.
All sites are within a short walking distance of the beach and some are right on the beach. Site L1 had a good mix of beach and woods. Near the beach is a small playground for the kids.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay very much. Pretty campground, extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice neighbors all around. The shower area could use some updating, but was fairly clean. It is a dog friendly place and for the most part they were well behaved pets. We planned on staying four nights and are staying six instead. Taking advantage of the last nice days of the season. I would highly recommend trying this park.
RangerLocated close to Iron Mountain area. Sites are very nice and tucked into the woods. Gives the perfect feel of good camping.
Visited True North Outpost in Norway MI, toured Iron Mountain Iron Mine in Vulcan MI, and visited the Mining Museum in Iron Mountain MI
GuidePark is located in the Peshtigo River state forest. Pet friendly!! Your pets are aloud on trails and with you at your campsite. They must be on a 6 ft leash. The park is beautiful. What surprised me the most was the pit toliets that looked like tiny houses. Pictures are attached. There is a small lake which is great for kayak and swimming. This park also has a boat launch onto the Cauldron Falls Reservoir. I've attached photos of the map. Almost all the campsites are private and hidden away in their own little spots. There are a few hiking trails which i enjoyed spending time on. If you go down the street a bit you will find Old Veterans state park which has a secluded quiet lake and beach. I spent an afternoon at the beach and never saw a soul. There is not a camp store. The only thing you can buy at the park is firewood.
RangerWe were in Site# 14. We had electric/water with a paved pull-through. We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
The site was easy to level but the wheels of our motor home were off of the ground.
Check-in is at the hotel. The RV park is not visible from the hotel (it’s back in the woods). There is a phone at the shower house that can be used to request a free shuttle to the casino.
Our site was not shaded with limited trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.
The lot comes with a picnic table and fire ring.
There was not any WiFi (we used our Starlink). They do not offer Cable TV.
There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.
They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.
They do have an indoor Swimming pool at the hotel with a sauna and steam shower.
There is not a Playground. There are not any additional play areas like Bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball sport court, horseshoe, or volleyball courts.
They have a general store in the parking lot of the casino where you can also get gas.
There are restaurants on site in the hotel as well as a spa. The closest big town with stores is Escanaba (about 20 minutes away).
This is solely an RV park. They do not have any cabins to rent or any tent areas.
They have one shower house. The shower house has individual showers (toilets & sinks are on opposite side of shower house).
The laundry facility is located at the BP gas station (located in the parking lot of the casino/hotel). It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.
They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs.
Bugs did not seem to be an issue.
Some fun things to do outside of the campground are to visit the Sandy Point Lighthouse or Ludington Park in Escanaba.
The casino is smoke-free. It states that the tables are open from 10am to 2am. Not all tables are available though (for instance, roulette wasn’t always available and if they did open up the one roulette table, it wasn’t until 6 or 7pm). The slot machine options are abundant.
RangerGreat place to set up a tent, or in our case, a pop-up camper for the night. It's hard to beat waking up next to serene Lake Michigan waves but it was definitely worth it. The park boasts a few nice amenities and has plenty of space for both the kids and the dogs to play in and explore. One minor downside is the proximity to the highway. Makes for a nice trip if you live nearby!
ScoutThis place was so much fun! The back tent areas are great, great walking trails, right on the water, the staff is so friendly and do daily checks to check if you need fire wood or anything. They also have fun seasonal events that the host for the campers. Definitely check this place out! So many memories there. They also have a playground for the kids, pet friendly, and allow atv/utv.
ScoutLittle Bay De Noc, Lake Michigan access with a pier. Only a few campsites, but includes group fire pit, playground and proximity to Pictured Rocks, 1 hour. Lots of hiking and great motorized non-motorized off-road trails.
GuideWe stayed at Van Riper State Park three times during June and July. The park is always clean and well-maintained. The bathrooms and showers and generally always nicely maintained as well, and there are plenty of both. The bathrooms do tend to run out of soap and toilet paper at busy times. Dogs are not allowed on the beach but also cannot be left unattended in your site. The rules are heavily enforced in this park. Park staff will ask you to move vehicles if you have more than two, and you will be asked to turn music completely off upon quiet hours. This is not the place to go if you want to party.
Sites 15 and 17, as well as several other sites along that side of that loop, now have a wooden fence at the back of them, so they are not as large as they appear in the photos online.
We have stayed in sites 14, 90 and 93. We travel with a 34’ trailer.
Site 14 is narrow but manageable. It is well-shaded by large pine trees on the site. Site is entirely dirt. There are trees to hang hammocks or clotheslines in.
Site 90 is on a corner by the propane tanks. It is a large site. It does have some roots and low spots. It is partial grass. It has nice shade and is adjacent to the bathrooms. There are trees to hang hammocks or clotheslines.
Site 93 is a large site that backs up to a small grass/tree buffer. It is across the road from the bathrooms. It has nice shade. There is a place to hang a clothesline but not hammocks.

No non-reservable sites available
Pet-friendly camping near Norway, Michigan offers several rustic and developed options within 15 miles of the town center. The region sits at approximately 1,160 feet above sea level in the western Upper Peninsula, characterized by mixed northern hardwood forests and numerous small lakes. Winter camping isn't widely available in this area, as most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through October due to heavy snowfall averaging 70+ inches annually.
Waterfall exploration: Twelve Foot Falls County Park provides easy access to its namesake waterfall via a short trail. "The trail to the falls is short but you can also explore the area. The falls are wondrous. We saw people cooling off in the water too. This is worth driving out to see," notes reviewer Art S.
Fishing opportunities: Genes Pond State Forest Campground offers access to a small lake with good fishing. "The fishing was great in Gene's Pond. My hubby caught some bluegill in the lake that we cooked up for dinner," reports Maria L. The campground also serves as a "Good base area for fishing the Pike river," according to Don N.
ATV trail access: Several campgrounds provide direct access to the extensive regional trail system. As Juliana R. explains about Summer Breeze Campground: "Atv trails are across the interstate. It's was a great time! This campground is meticulously taken care of by the owners."
Privacy between sites: Morgan Park gets high marks for site spacing. "Awesome county park with great staff, facilities and the sites are private and wooded," writes David C., while Natasha T. adds, "Lots of trees and foliage so sites are at least semi-private - nearby lake for fishing and swimming and hiking trails too!"
Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention well-maintained bathrooms across multiple campgrounds. Greg H. writes about Morgan Park: "Fantastic facilities, bathrooms and free showers were very clean and in great condition. Appreciate the modern amenities at this campground!"
Owner hospitality: Several campgrounds receive praise for their management. At Rivers Bend Campground, Tammi J. reports: "We were greeted as soon as we drove in, our site was very nice with a concrete pad." Another camper, Lori N., notes: "We enjoyed our stay very much. Pretty campground, extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice neighbors all around."
Water quality varies: At some rustic campgrounds, water isn't ideal for drinking. Maria L. warns about Genes Pond: "The only downside to this campground is the horrid water. It comes from a cistern (I imagine) and has a hand pump. The water is awful. Cloudy and foul tasting, stale and full of minerals."
Access challenges: Some campgrounds require navigation on forest roads. Art S. cautions about Twelve Foot Falls County Park: "The road out to the campground takes you out of cell service. Google maps directed us down atv trails. We suggest following the posted signs and taking the short but roundabout way."
Site conditions: Rivers Bend Campground offers level sites but they're closely spaced. Kelli V. notes: "The sites were a little uneven but not too bad. They are VERY close together. Thankfully it wasn't busy when we were there."
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds offer play areas. Sarah W. mentions about Summer Breeze: "We had a birthday party and our site was right across from the nice clean park and a pool that wasn't open yet!"
Swimming options: Lake Antoine Park Campground provides beach access specifically for families. "The beach was really nice and the playgrounds were great for the grandkids," says Lynn K., while another camper, Destiny L., enjoyed "Swimming everyday and even kayak rentals!"
Site selection: Choose sites away from main roads at certain campgrounds for quieter family experiences. Lynn K. advises about Lake Antoine: "Loud cars, trucks and semi's were traveling the roads outside of the park at all hours... Maybe a site further away from the road might make a difference in the background noise."
Full hookup availability: Rivers Bend Campground offers complete services. Tammi J. notes: "We had full hook up with cable! That was a nice surprise!"
Campground access: Tranquil~Vista Campground accommodates various RV sizes while maintaining a rustic feel. Shane explains: "For those who want a more rustic experience there are tent sites that provide that." The campground also features "a large grassy area for play and volleyball court."
Seasonal considerations: Most RV campgrounds in the area operate from May through October. Summer Breeze Campground runs "May 1 to October 15" while Morgan Park has a slightly longer season from "May 1 to Nov 30," allowing for late fall camping when temperatures typically range from 30-50°F.
