"This is a very wide open center, or back in to Wooded sites. All site are very large and spacious. Picnic tables and site rings. Check in at noon, check out at noon."
"Nice, clean, quiet right on the lake. Full hookups, level sites and lots of room for large gatherings at the party pit. A short drive to Marquette."
"It is nice and wooded through most of the park. There are several buildings onsite that we didn’t get to peek into due to other plans around the area. We will definitely be back!"

ScoutThis is a busy campground right on Munising Bay on Lake Superior. Reservations for the busy season need to be made months in advance, and even reserving 6 months before our arrival date, we got the last spot. We have a 22 foot travel trailer, so we can fit onto most any site, but this campground draws some huge rigs pulled by tractor trailers.
The people in the office are great. The beach on the bay is spectacular. Overall nice campground at a very good price.
But this is an older campground, and the electrical system can't handle the power draw from the big rigs. People at the end of the power line - beware! Bring your surge protector to protect your electrical system.
We were fine until day 3 where the temps hit 88 degrees, and the big rigs were running their double air conditioners, while we were running just our fridge, water heater and a fan. Draws about 6 amps. We didn't have enough power coming to our site even for that, and the surge protector shut everything down. Thank goodness it did it's job and protected the electrical system on the trailer. At one point the power coming into the site was only 98 instead of 120ish.
So while the big boys further up the line were running 2 air conditioners, we weren't getting enough power to run a water heater, fridge and a fan. We had to put our water heater and fridge onto propane and do without even a fan in 88 degree heat. Thank goodness our fridge and water heater can run on propane, and the lights work on DC, but the fan runs on 110, so it didn't work.
The people in the office were apologetic, and they said we should have power when it cools down and there aren't so many air conditioners running. That was small comfort when we were paying for a 50 amp site for our 30 amp trailer, and we couldn't even run a fan. At least the surge protector kept us from damaging the trailer electrical system - we hope!
RangerThere are a limited number of sites here, 6 for tents and the rest for RVs. We have a travel trailer and this was the easiest set up we’ve ever had. Each site has a long, paved, level pad for your camper and vehicle. The electric and water post is very nice organized. Sewer available at all electric sites. Tons of big rigs here bc the spots are spaced appropriately and easy to maneuver. Bathrooms and showers are the nicest I e ever used at a campground. But the jewel are the lake front campsites. We literally walked out our door to the sand beach. Our fire pit was located so we could chill and watch the lake while the kids jumped the waves in the long shallow sandy areas. Dunes are also behind some sites, which is fun for the kids to roll around in. Super dog friendly. Close to grocery and restaurants if needed, but still feel isolated despite the proximity to the highway. The sounds of the waves on the lake put us to sleep at night. A perfect camping paradise. The only downside is that this campground is always booked, so it’s hard to get a reservation. We booked in December for the following June, and all lakefront spots were booked already. A last minute cancellation meant we could snag the lakefront spot, and it’s amazing. Don’t hesitate if there’s a spot open, just book it!
GuideAn 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.

GuideOpen, level gravel sites and some concrete pads scattered throughout this pretty new campground. A few baby trees in the open meadow are trying to get started, but other than those there is no shade. We stayed in a full hook up 50 amp site, and experienced no power issues despite 2 days of freakishly high winds and scorching heat in the 90s. This is an immaculately clean and well run campground. Wi fi is ok for email and phone scrolling social media. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is due to construction in the campground with dump trucks and beep beep beep of machinery backing up every day. Once they are finished and the shade trees grow this will be a premier campground in a beautiful area. Pets allowed on leash. Trash receptacles convenient to each area of the campground. Bath house with coin laundry machines.
