    Lake Superior North Shore

    The best little spot you could imagine

    Absolutely gorgeous! Right on the lake, wouldn’t suggest driving all the way back just park and take all your stuff to your spot. There is a “no drive thru” sign ignore it and drive back the pathway you’ll find it 😍 two other campers there and they were lovely (they also found this place off the dyrt app). You truly can’t beat this place, we even seen the Northern lights

    Lower Falls - Tahquamenon Falls State Park

    Absolute Perfection

    Our first visit to this park and first stay at campground, and it was absolute bliss!  Absolutely worth the drive to enjoy all the peace, quiet, space, views, amenities, trails and of course the waterfalls.  Words cannot really explain the beauty all around.  The recent upgrades to this park can easily be seen and appreciated in the well kept grounds, available amenities, picnic areas, pavilions , fully functional accessible bathrooms and large personal shower rooms. Not a detail was missed!    And yes, the restaurant is a plus!  We enjoyed delicious bison burgers and beer.  The campground was full of guests but quiet, clean, clean restrooms, self serve firewood machine that accepts cards!  We were surprised to find out that you will need to pay for state park pass even with camping reservations. The $40 annual pass is the best value if visiting for longer than 3 days.  We stayed for 4 nights with 34’ camper on site 188, which is at the very beginning of loop but still very quiet, no road noise. Outer sites are very spacious, inner sites are much smaller.  Convenient trails connect Lower and upper falls, 4 miles.  One mile trail to reach lower falls from campground. the lower falls alone will give you plenty to explore.  We spent two days there, one kayaking around the lower falls and river where you can launch your own kayak from lower falls, next to picnic area and paddle up to the falls and down river. but be mindful, you will paddle upstream heading back. Some areas are low but doable. The park offers canoe rental but only to lower fall and back. We spent another full day just walking around taking everything in, and cooling off in the falls of course.  The upper fall area is just as lovely but you can only view from view points.  We enjoyed an evening walk to upper falls when hardly no one was there.  The park is roughly 30 mins to nearby lighthouses, 90 mins to western points like Munising and pictured rocks.  No need to second guess this place, just go and enjoy responsibly!  And please be respectful of this beautiful park.

    Big Cedar Campground and Canoe Livery

    Clean and quiet, cramped

    Campground was quaint and bathrooms were well attended to. Campsites were very small; your neighbor's sewer tube was right underneath your picnic table. Neighbors were quiet and respectful, but the campground was right off the highway with a lot of traffic noise.

    Blind Sucker #1 State Forest Campground

    Quiet, Clean, & Simple

    Busy weekend in the area, but this little gem had some openings.   My wife and I grabbed a site next to the water.  We were camping in a tent, but their would have been plenty of room for a sizeable RV.   Decent shore fishing near the campground.  Short hike or drive to Lake Superior beaches.   Easy drive to Grand Marias if you needed something.  No hesitation to stay here again.

    Parking pull off

    We spent about an hour exploring the surrounding roads for a better spot but it's all residential with some narrow and overgrown logging roads. Ended up coming back down to this spot which is just a little parking round-about. It's not private but no one drove by until morning and it's flat and spacious for bigger rigs.

    Little Brevort Lake North State Forest Campground

    Great Gem, With Flowing Well

    Less than half full. Good non motorized boat launch. Nice forest, most sites well screened. 4 sites with great lake view, on little lake. kayaked around lake. No real navigable access to the larger Bevoort Lake or Lake Michigan. Quiet, no highway noise.

    Lake Michigan At St. Ignace

    Great dune beach access

    Only 60 to 75 percent full midweek in July. Most sites are first come first served. Most sites are separated by natural forest. Beautiful dunes and beach. Traffic noise from highway is an issue.

    On the lake awesome beach

    Lucky to get a site along the beach. Bathhouses are new, in great shape. Sites along lake are small. Big campground, not a lot of screening between sites. Tends to fill up, even midweek in July.

    Bodi Lake State Forest Campground

    Beautiful Lakefront Camping

    Arrived here late after finding no sites at Mouth of the Two Hearted. Found an excellent tent site that comfortably accommodated 2 tents and a sleeping hammock. Site also had beach access so our kayaks could launch easily. There seemed to be to be a decent number of fishermen in the morning, but our own fishing attempts were unsuccessful.

    Bodi Lake trail looked interesting, but my feet were killing me from hiking Taquamenon earlier that day, and we were eager to get back to 2 Heart. Looking forward to coming back at a future date to try it out.

    Quick outting on nice little lake

    Nice USFS campground on a little inland lake at the bottom of Mission Hill. The campground had big sites. No problem fitting are 32 footer. The lake is good for swimming. We brought our paddle board and kayaks and a great time. We tried a little fishing and did catch a small mouth and a few small perch. Had to fill out water tank just down the road at the casino campground. Big pine day use on Lake Superior is just a few miles down the road. Kids love the cold water. Vault toilets were clean. Only negative was a noisy neighbor. There was no host on the host site.

    Cozy campground

    We really enjoyed this small, cozy campground. The sites are nicely spaced out for privacy. We stayed in site #15. It was very spacious and right near the bathrooms. Our only complaints are that there were some potholes in the road that could be filled in, and the mosquitoes were horrendous. No amount of bug spray or tiki candles helped. We will definitely be staying at this campground again the next time we visit the area.

    Great lake View

    Beautiful campground on Lake Michigan. Most of our time was spent on the sand beach. Beautiful sunsets and great swimming. Big sites and clean campground.

    new concessionaires

    For those of you who are from the area or who come back year after year to enjoy the feeling of family, you will not get it when you return this year. You will notice the difference between big cooperate and family run who actually care about your camping experience. I drove through the campground the other day. You will not longer be aloud to use the dock to fish off of, the lawn behind the bathrooms where you sat and watched the beautiful sunsets is no longer mowed and you will not find kids playing with the games that were provided for your use. Canoe, kayak and paddleboard rentals are gone. No wood to purchase for your fun around the campfire and no ice for your coolers. 

        The sites are not cleaned like they were, you will find cig butts and other trash on the ground and they will not be raked and waiting for your arrival. Tall grass grows where it was previously trimmed neatly. We took pride in making that campground feel like home so that you could make many memories and come back year after year. The Forest Service had an axe to grind and wanted a cheap easy fix. You get what you pay for.  Over 10 years former host.

    Good basic USFS campground

    Nice standard USFS campground. Self pay, $16/night, no host, no reservations. 

    Signs say no garbage service so pack out your garbage, though we saw garbage bins by the bathrooms. 

    Sites are green and well spaced apart, lots of trees, nice amount of privacy though one of the sites (I think #9) was just all out in the open - so this might be a good one if you need sun for solar. 

    Pump water available here, as well as vault toilets. We didn’t see an easy way to access the lake, but maybe there was something we missed. 

    A few spots available on a Saturday afternoon in mid-August. Zero cell reception for ATT or Verizon.

    Small rustic campground with boat launch

    Stayed here in early June and had the pleasure of having the whole campground to ourselves. Sites are close to one another and has vaulted toilets. This is a beautiful campground with access to the water via boat launch but not easy access from a few sites. Most sites are wooded and provide great shade and wind protection. Can be quite buggy. We kayaked and enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets to escape the bugs. I did come back later in the season, early August, and sites were packed with multiple tents per site, and kids were riding their bikes around the loop all evening. I like to camp more secluded and this was just too busy and loud for my liking. I ended up leaving and staying at hog island state forest campground that trip.

    Really perfect in off season

    Got here the weekend it was closing for the season and aside from the beginning of duck season and the firing of lots of shotguns on my next to last morning here, it was a really peaceful place. Best sites 17, 26, 27 otherwise somebody will set up a tent right next to your van or tent. Good artesian well and very clean vault toilets in this small family campground. They sell firewood and have nice moveable picnic tables and lots of trash receptacles sprinkled about. Lovely sunrise views of Lake Huron. $15/night without electrical
