Best RV Parks & Resorts near Sault Ste. Marie, MI

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.

Rustic campground on a steep hill overlooking Lake Huron. Website makes promises campground doesn't deliver. We reserved 50 amp full hook up. We were charged an additional $15 to guarantee our site. We arrived today to find a tight sloping site with only 30 amp service for our 34 ft motorhome. Upon calling the office, the very young woman who answered, first of all, could not locate our reservation even though a packet and map were waiting outside for us. Second, she asks which site, fumbles around, and finally declares "well some sites are 50 amp and some are only 30 amp. Can you spell your name again for me?" This location is close to everything in this nice town, so if you come here to stay you will be paying premium site pricing and spinning the wheel of chance as to whether it will be electric only, electric and water, 30 amp full hookups or 50 amp full hookups, because the website says one thing and reality on site is altogether different.

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.

I've visited Brimley State Park several times, always nice. Clean park, clean bathrooms. Close to beaches, Point Iriquois, Bay Mills Casino, Sault Ste. Marie. My most recent visit was over the weekend, it was very busy. I would recommend making reservations.

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.

Arrived here 9/27/30, leaving on 9/30/20. It rained off and on continuously. Our site backed up to a bay in Lake Superior. We were able to see a sunset from the beach the first night. The beach is just 30 feet from the back of our RV. Colors in the surrounding forests show the promise of magnificence but were muted due to the clouds and rain.

Nearby Sault Ste Marie, MI is picturesque and has a lot of history for those who are interested.

We would come back again but in warmer sunnier weather.

This park pretty much lacks any character as it is an open area with a bunch of scattered campsites but it makes up for that with its location. Most people come to the town of Sault Ste. Marie (called the “Soo”) to check out the famous Soo Locks and watch massive Great Lakes freighters pass through them on their way from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan.

This is a city run park that is 20 acres right on the St. Mary’s River so you get a great view of the ships passing by. When we arrived it had been rainy during the day and there was lots of water in the roads and at people’s campsites. Luckily our site was dry but there were some pretty big puddles and lots of standing water. Some of the sites are right on the river which and have unobstructed views of the ships. Reservations are by phone only. I had to leave a message but got a call back within a few hours and it was pretty easy from there

There are 100 sites with water and electric and all are pretty easy to get into with an RV. Tent camping is allowed but there is no separate section so you are mixed in with RVs.  Some of the hook-ups at sites are crazy. Our water was nearly 50 feet away and some are on the wrong side. Bathroom and shower facilities very nice and well maintained, with private lockable shower rooms. There is a laundry with book exchange but no camp store. The park has showers and restrooms that were very clean and modern. The showers are separate rooms that have privacy so you are not in the bathroom. They also have a laundry facility. The park wifi worked well at our site (#72) as did our Verizon phone and hotspot. Adjacent to the campground is a boat launch, playground (which looked like it was from the 1960’s), fish cleaning station, and an RV dump station.

The campground is not very large so for walking our dog we went to the adjacent park and were able to throw a ball for her. Within walking distance of the campground is a convenient store and there is a casual restaurant with burgers/fried fish/hotdogs/etc. 

A visit to the Soo Locks is definitely a must. The Visitor Center (operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) is free and well worth a visit. There are some short films, interpretive exhibits, and a board letting you know what time the ships are expected into the locks. Outside is a viewing platform where you get a great view of the ships in the locks watching them rise 20+feet as they make their transition.

I wouldn't consider this an amazing park, but if you come to Sault Ste. Marie there are not a lot of choices and its fine. You are just a few miles from downtown and the Locks and get to watch freighters navigate the narrow stretch of the river. The downsides are there are not lots of trees or privacy and the drainage is really poor. 

Tip 1: Site #9 is probably the best in the park as it is on the end, has a great view and more privacy.

Tip 2: For a delicious hamburger head under the International Bridge to West Pier Drive-In. It is the kind of place where you sit in your car and eat the most delicious juicy hamburger that fills your belly all day.

The photos online were deceiving. This campground has tiny little sites in an industrial area of Sault Ste Marie. It was super quiet at night but it’s next door to a military base and 5 Chinook helicopters ran drills in the morning from 8:30 -11am and it felt like we were in a war zone.

We came however to watch the ships go by and it was suitable for this. The bathrooms were old but clean. They sell ice and wood.

There were some tentless kids sleeping by the river who are known to steal beer in the night. You’ve been warned.

We planned to stay 2 nights but only stayed one. It was just a parking lot.

I 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.

This RV park has a self-check in. I made reservations 6 days prior to check in. When checking the folder which my name would have been in, it was not there. Some one did find it though miss filled. The site was barely long enough for my 39' 5th wheel. Sites are very close to each other. I don't plan on returning.

What a beautiful campground, they have everything to offer. Rustic lakefront sites, electric/ water hook up for RVs or tents.

Our site was 79-A best bridge view, pictures can’t even do it justice. It was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Nice easy trial to the water from our site.

Our site did flood a bit with heavy rain but we would for sure do this site again.

No hook up, so be prepared to boondocking in the lake front sites.

2 dump stations/ water fill up

Offers 2 small playgrounds Bath houses are nice

St ignance town was very cute! We enjoyed going into town.

Near by grocery store available .

Service was good - sprint

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.

We were passing through the area at end of season (it definitely dumped snow and sleet all over us!) Grateful to have a place to stop, and to be able to stay hooked up! Full hookup, discount if you pay with cash!

Good 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.

Located up on a hill and there are some spots that overlook the lake and Mackinaw Island.

Close to town. Very clean and friendly staff. Sites are level and you have everything from rustic to full hookup. Wifi is available also.

Laundry room is clean as well as the showers.

Shaded and full sun sites. Nice breeze coming in off the lake.

Minutes from the bridge and castle rock

Very kind owners. Large campsites and clean, well maintained campground right on the st Mary's river. Big rig friendly with full hookups sites. No bath house

Stayed for a week using Tiki as home base while we visited local attractions. We had a full hookup site. Staff was friendly and bathrooms were clean. T-Mobile internet connected.

Campground is beautiful. But I didn’t read the fine print on my online reservation, which stated a recreation pass $32, must be paid before entering state park. Then we were told & billed $7 per day for parking our tow car. We have traveled in several states & never experienced this unwelcoming feature. We could have stayed at a private campground with full hookups @ cable for what we paid here. Sad Michigan treats out of staters this way. We will never stay at a Michigan state campground again. What a shame.

I gave it one star because the staff was courteous. The first site 67 we got error code on leveler (excessive slope) not to mention the water is on the door side of the spot. Had to use 40’ of water hose. We were able to move to a full hookup site 14 and the water once again on the door side of the camper about 4 feet away, which site 13 used also!! Approx 70% of the sites the water is on the wrong side of the spot. They told me Big Rig Friendly!!!! I would not go if over 35’. Trees and narrow roads. We will never go back. Water pressure non existent. Had to use fresh water tank. See pics.
