Small mostly grass campground. Spaces are small and electric only at sights. Water and dump station is available in the Casino parking lot. The bath house is clean and well maitained. There are a couple of handicapp spaces on the edge of the Casino parking lot, normally filled with cars. If you are looking for a RV Resort experience, keep driving. If you need a overnight / place to stay while exploring the area this is a nice inexpensive place to stay. If you run out of things to do the Casino is steps away.

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.
Legend
We were a little confused here, as we thought the camping spots were the concrete pads leading up to the old airfield. But there are big rocks blocking the way from Rd 3536 to the airfield, so I don’t know if that’s a recent addition or what. There’s a large concrete pad on the west side of the rocks, and when we got there there was a nice looking (not sketchy) travel trailer set up for long term camping. Lots of trucks parked everywhere with trailers; they had hauled their ATVs in and were out riding for the day. They came back on their ATVs in the late afternoon, hung out for a few hours, then left (except for the trailer). All surprisingly quiet and respectful.
Zero cell service with Verizon but ATT had good service, mostly. It would randomly drop now and then but it would come back. We found a good spot to tuck into for the night, while staying out of the way of all the trucks parked everywhere. Very quiet and serene.
This is dispersed camping so of course no amenities whatsoever. Please handle your waste appropriately and let's keep this area clean.

29.00 a day with full hook-ups. 21.00 without sewer. All come with free cable tv and wifi antennas ever couple hundred feet so you get internet from any spot in the park. The newer side of the park has large spaces with plenty of room to stretch. No crazy rules here. Laundry machines are only 1.25 a load and the dryer actually dries.
Traveler
All the sites are pull through so your front door faces another front door. Roomy sites with designated fire pits. There is a playground with lots of things for the kids to do. There is a nature trail you can take your dogs on. Great location to get to most of everything you want to do in the UP. There is a dump station, but we had full hook up.
TravelerI stayed here for 1 month. $25/night, $700/month. Mostly level grass sites with 30A, some have 50A. Most sites have a picnic table. Trash dumpster near the entrance. Fresh water, bathrooms with showers, and laundry (free but inside the women's bathroom), located in the pavillon. First come, first serve, no reservations. Choose your site, then go to the hotel registration located inside the west entrance of the hotel at the northern end of the complex. The showers are large but could use some cleaning. The dump station is in the parking lot in the SWC. ADA RV campsites in the parking lot next to the RV park. Casino, restaurant, deli and store (snacks and souvenirs) next to the RV park.
Traveler
Super nice RV park with nice facilities and a nice playground for the kids. I recommend portage vs hemlock. We stayed in site one next to the playground (not super close like I expected) but I also recommend site 5 and 13 for the views. The park was super clean and we didn't have any issues with bugs (mid Sept). The colors were just starting to change (probably will peak in the first week of October). The lower falls are in walking distance with a little icecream shop.
Guide
Very cheap - 30 amps, water and sewer hookup on unlevel overgrown sites. Not exaggerating that weeds are a foot high covering all the sites and grounds like a pasture - unless you bring your own weedeater or mower. The ancient class c camper next to us doesn't appear to be movable and has no sewer hooked up. 2 cars park on either side of it, although that means one car comes and goes constantly and is parking on our site right outside our door. Across the highway is a large prison, just down the road from an airport. This is a very old, sad, and poor small town with no amenities, so plan on driving 30 minutes to Sault Sainte Marie for groceries, restaurants, and anything else you could possibly want to do. The rv park also has the township's memorial dog park. Guess what? Not mowed, and full of dog waste. We watched a man bring 5 dogs every weekday around 5pm, put them in the gated dog park and sit looking at his phone for 30 minutes. Then he calls them after they have all pooped, loads them into his SUV, and drives off. Just wanting you to get the whole honest picture - you cannot beat the $20 per night full 30 amp hook ups, and the power and water are good quality. There are good reasons why here in 2021 there are probably 35 unoccupied sites. Stopping for a night? Sure. Staying for a month - only if you know what you are getting into.
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.

Love the campground. Can fill quick. The bathroom facilities are pretty nice. We avoid June and July because of black wise. The beach isn't bad on the lake but directly across the street you can go down to Lake Superior which has miles of beaches. Lots of hiking trails in about a half hour from any town. There is a little store on the other side of the lake. One of our top spots to come camp. There is power hookups to most sites and spots for RVs and campers. Not a far drive to go cut your own firewood.
GuideAwesome base camp to explore the UP of Michigan. Clean facilities, level sites, well spaced out, and beautiful scenery

I unexpectedly ended up staying here, and I'm so glad the circumstances led me to it. I had my heart set on stay at Twelve Mile Beach Campground but that and Hurricane River were both full. I drove back to Grand Marias and stayed here. Overall a wonderful experienc. Tons of spots. For a township park rates were reasonable. A little better signage for the tent only area would have been nice, i ended up setting up on a full hookup site and payed significantly more than a tent site would have costed. Restrooms were clean and nice, awesome hot showered, BUT they are all closed for an hour in the morning for cleaning. I'm all for a good clean bathroom, but 9 to 10 a.m. is prime bathroom time in my experience. So semi inconvenient.
TravelerReally nice park, views of Lake Superior, stairs down to Lake Superior beach, Electric hookups, cable TV hookups, sites big enough to park your RV & boat, firewood is available. In Grand Marais, so stores & gasoline are available near by, don’t take reservations. First come, first served, fills up pretty fast, especially during July. Fish cleaning station, dump stations, Laundry, nice shower house.

Barbara is amazing as is her 50 some spots on private camping land on the lake! Electric hookups, water well, and honestly my favorite camping site so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
TravelerNice park, has electric hookups only. Hydrants & outhouses are available. Has a boat launch for fishing. Park Rangers are available if needed. Lake Superior access is available across the road for walking on the beach. Near North Country Trail for hiking.
GuideClean, friendly, easy access. The campground is across the (not busy) street from the casino and bay. The bathrooms and showers are clean and they have a small laundry. This is a great spot to use as base while exploring the many area sites! We have a 42 ft motor home with jeep tow so camping in Tahquamenon was not an option for us. We only needed electric and water so $29/night was what we paid. The WiFi is great and apparently they have great cable(we have satellite and so we did not connect to cable). Our ATT reception was three bars.

Big Knob is a rustic campground nestled next to Lake Michigan on the southern side of Michigan’s upper peninsula. My grandmother used to take my brother and I there every year when we were young. My favorite mornings started with the smell of the forest and sea fog, and a cup of coffee before heading out to pick wild blueberries for pancakes, or a stroll on the beach during sunrise with grandma before we might have to share it.
When I pump water from the old hand pump, I remember how my twin brother and I always wanted to be the first to pump the water every year. It was so cool as a kid.
Everyone visiting the campground always seems on the friendlier and more respectful side than I’ve experienced at some of the larger campgrounds out west. There is plenty of privacy when you want to look up at the stars, watch the sunset, or watch it rise. (Either by yourself or with a special someone.) The campers are friendly if you need to borrow an egg or half stick of butter, or need a challenger at lawn darts or a partner for Euchre.
My grandmother in her later years tried to take her large motor home there and it was a tight fit and branches and such mildly damaged the unit. We were all laughing, except for my grandmother who was driving and could barely see over the steering wheel. We never returned with the large motor home, and instead continued to use a small burro trailer and a tent. The grounds say less than 40’, but I’d say anything that big will have an interesting time settling in. I’d recommend something shorter, or be prepared for a tight fit if any.
There are trails not too far away, and pine needle thatched forest to wonder. It’s difficult to get lost because there’s the Lake Michigan, and all the streams flowing into it. As young children, my grandmother could let me and my brother explore for hours knowing that we would be able to find our way back ... and those late nights that took a while to find home, there were enough wild blueberries that we weren’t going to starve.
I must advise that these Big Knob wild blueberries come with a warning: they are so tasty that they will wreck blueberries for the rest of your life. You will be forced to compare every blueberry you ever taste to a Big Knob wild blueberry. So I would recommend that you do not to eat any of the wild blueberries. (So then there are more for me.) They are simply too good.
Next season I will be putting some of my grandmother’s ashes to rest at Big Knob with my brother and father. Big Knob was her most favorite place, and she has passed her love of it to my brother and I. This is the only place that she asked for some ashes to go, and I can’t think of a better place.
TravelerWe spent 2 days at this park, mostly to see the falls and surrounding area (Whitefish Point). One night would have been sufficient. The bathrooms were clean, the park was gorgeous; however, our biggest complaint was the sites were on top of each other. It felt like tailgating. Additionally, there was only 1 electric hookup box per 4 campsites, and it was on the wrong side for us (passenger side). Our electric cable isn't infinitely long, so we had to park the camper far to the left (passenger side), and were more or less in our neighbor's campsite. BE SURE to look where the electric hookup is located in photos when you choose a site, unless you have a really long plug. For reference, we stayed at the Lower Falls Campground, Portage Loop, site 60. Also to note, there was a monsoon of a rainstorm, and quite a few tent campers took on a few inches of water. The pools were gone 24 hours later, but that didn't help the soaked tent people.
The trails and waterfalls were absolutely amazing, and the gift shop was A+. I doubt we will go back there, but I'm glad we went for our first UP adventure.

We stayed here on the very last night they were open this season. 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. It was a bit pricey for camping $40 for a pop up truck camper with only electric and water.
They have hot showers that were clean and looked taken care of. They have a playground, playroom and a pool. None of this was open during our visit but I imagine in the summer it is all going strong and the kids have a blast. My one complaint was it is pretty close to the road and during a heavy tourist season it could probably be pretty loud.
GuideRustic with modern bathroom 1/4 mike away in next campground; on the river with access for kayaking and fishing; no motor homes, quiet and well spaced sites

Just wanted to update. This campground appears to be under new management. There are new posts and it is now self register.$10 a night. We were passing through looking for a site. There is one“beach” site and 3 other sites at this time. Not very private but very close to the lake. No electric hook up. Artesian well. Would check it out in the future as it was full for the holiday weekend.

I have been visiting this campground since the early 90s with my family. My Dad used to come here when he was young. It does not have all the modern “glamping” amenities - no water/electric hookups here! No showers or running water! Outhouses only! And that’s just how it should stay. Half of the campsites have direct private lake access for swimming or boating purposes. The other half cozy up against the deep woods. All campsites are decently private, with a fair amount of foliage and woods separating all of them, unlike some places where you pitch a tent ten feet from your neighbors. There is a boat launch and a fish cleaning table, and every site has a picnic table and a metal ringed fire pit. This is perfect for the true rustic tent camper. I spent five days here in early July 2020 with nothing but my motorcycle and a two person tent, and it was all bird songs and wildlife. The only downsides are that there’s only one location to dispose of trash, so you could have a decent hike to do so, and the fact that there’s no electric hookups means glampers tend to run generators which can be a little annoying. But this is a wonderful place and it holds many good memories for me!
RangerWe 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. If you don't have a really long cord for the electric, buy one! Or cadycorner your trailer to fit like we did. The bathrooms were clean and I found it intriguing that each shower was its own closet not a stall, A+ for privacy!! The campground is off the main road to the lower falls so at night you can walk down to the parking lot and enjoy the dark sky, great for viewing all the stars! It was amazing for star gazing.
ScoutThis is a municipal campground whose main attraction is the location on the dunes of Grand Marais on the shore of Lake Superior. It is located on a bluff with stairs leading to Agate beach and beautiful sunset views over the lake. The campsites are close together, but there are many shade trees, 2 bathhouses and when we were there, very quiet, respectful campers. It is about a one hour drive to Munising, MI where you can take a boat cruise to view the Painted Rock National Shoreline.It is also a short drive to numerous waterfalls and hiking trails. Most sites have water and electric hookups. many local folks sell firewood and fire rings are at each site.
