Best Campgrounds near Sault Ste. Marie, MI

The campground is nestled in the trees along the Tahquamenon River near the rivermouth of Lake Superior.  The campsite was on the end of the loop with the walking path along the river.  

There is river access along the back of the campground for fishing or enjoying the beautiful wetlands.    

The campground is about a 20-30 minute drive to the main Tahquamenon Falls State Park.

Visited the site in a winter storm. A little worried before getting on the wild cat road. Turned out no issue at all. Road is covered with heavy snow, no issue with an AWD camper van. Snow shoeing in the woods and alone the lake beach. Fantastic!

Most sites are all grass, but well maintained. Brand new, clean bathrooms and showers. Views of the lake and bridge can't get any better.

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

This campground was OK.  Just on the north side of the bridge.  The site we had was really small and close to others.  It was a short walk down to the lake and a great view of the bridge.  It was pretty expensive, we paid $39 + $11 for a Michigan park pass.  The place was clean and the restrooms and showers were nice.

I don't think I'd go back.  There are better places to camp in the upper peninsula.

Lots of bugs.

This is a lovely place. My spot was right close to the beach. Absolutely beautiful. Took a short walk in the forest and saw a lot of wild mushrooms. Loved it. Definitely come back

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.

Waterfront campsite are very nice... Some are a bit small but overall very comfortable... Awesome friendly people run the place!

This is our 3rd time staying here and will be back.

Quiet campground with feeling of privacy due to sites being wooded and spread out. Access to lake and to rustic pit toilets close by. Good potable water. Easy self check in.

I rated it high because it was as promised. Someone who is looking for a campground with bathrooms and showers would be disappointed, but apparently did not read the description. 

I had an 18' Thor Scope B class pulling a kayak trailer. I wouldn't try driving anything much bigger to this end of the trail. I did see a vehicle pull one of those boxy 20' camping trailers into a campsite up the road. I was pleased and surprised to find a site I could simply pull into, right on the lake looking out at a million-dollar view of a beautiful bay, with a deep cedar forest on the other side. The soothing sound of what seemed like an almost constant breeze through the cedars was wonderful.

I don't know if it's just that I came at the right time but didn't see a single mosquito in three days, nor was I bothered by any other bug. 

There was a 1-3 bar Verizon signal.

Loved this campsite. My thanks to The Dyrt.

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.

Somewhere I read there might be lake views from the upper campground... Not with leaves on the trees. Follow the signs down a 500 foot trail to the surveyors lookout to see the bridge. Nice and wooded. You can hear the bridge and interstate traffic. Nice restrooms, showers. I will try lower campground next time.

Easy in and out. open area and trees on perimeter. Looks like its an ATV staging area. No starlink, no Cell service. Bring your bug spray!

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.

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.

Certainly! Here’s a review for the campground:

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful campground next to Lake Huron, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful lake views and easy beach access that made our stay truly memorable. The rates were very reasonable, providing great value for the exceptional amenities offered.

One of the highlights of our visit was the recreation and game area, which kept the whole family entertained. The facilities were well-maintained and offered a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy.

What truly set this campground apart, though, was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I was particularly touched by their kindness and attentiveness when my youngest daughter fell ill. They went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and that we had everything we needed.

Overall, I highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable, and family-friendly place to stay by Lake Huron. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning!
