This place is way off the beaten path. Long dirt road to get back here. There are tent sites all along the beach front to watch the sunset and pick rocks. Most sites are fairly level. I feel like we got one of the only ones that wasn't but I'm not real picky. @ramblinsmurf
We come up every year for the meteor shower, and every stay is a great one. New shower rooms, and huge dog park are awesome!
We really liked this campground mostly for its location and beautiful beach on Lake Superior. It has a long driveway that is gravel and all of the campground loops are also gravel or sand so it can be a little dusty. The lake shore sites have beautiful, full views of the lake but just know that many sites will be a tight fit for larger rigs. We have a 26' travel trailer and stayed in the newer loop a little ways away from the beach. It didn't bother us as it was easier to park and a very short walk to enjoy the beautiful sunsets this campground is all about.
Beautiful spots, friendly staff, clean toilet and trash canat each site. Will definitely return.

Stayed on a Wednesday and there was space available but booked solid for weekends. Filled up by 4 pm. Spots are small, side-by-side and no privacy, but they have several spots to watch spectacular sunsets. That was worth the stay.
Beautiful sites, some very private and right on the lake. Boat launch nearby. Sites are spacious and privacy depends in the site. Some are isolated, others are mean to camp with friends. All have fire pit and table. First come, first served. We got there on a Thursday and lots of sites, but was full by the weekend. You have to drive around and pick an open site and caretaker comes around about 11am to check you in. Pit toilets, some ADA accessible.
This is a small campground, with sites that are somewhat close together. However, there’s a great view of Lake Superior, and the sunset from our site was wonderful. (Site 7) Nice and quiet too. We’d return if we’re in the area again.
This is a beautiful campground right next to the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park in the U P of Michigan. After reading the reviews of the Union Bay Campground in the park, I'm glad I could get a reservation here!
This is a well established campground. There's 50 sites with water & electricity, but no sewer. There is a dump station.
Some sites have more room than others. We had site 16, which was roomy. Site 20 is also roomy & shady.
The best sites over look the Union River. Sites 27/28 are nice & site 29 is outstanding. There are a few pull throughs.
Any of the perimeter sites would be good. These have a woods view in the back.
Avoid sites 24A/45&46. these sites are very near the dump station, with 45 right by it. There's a tall fence separating you from it.
The bathrooms are beautiful! Clean with hot showers. Decorated nicely, with music also. There's a community fire pit on the front lawn with swings & chairs. A nice view of Lake Superior. The sunsets are outstanding. There's a free beach across the street. You need to take the stairs down to it. Don't try climbing down the rocks!
I didn't have much luck looking for Yooper Stones.
The gift shop is small, but has some nice things.
Out of the 3 campgrounds we stayed at this trip, this was our favorite!
Spent the 4th of July here on site #5. Grounds are very clean and well maintained. Sites 7,8,9,10 have the best water views.
I stayed one night at the end of May and it was stunning (from inside my van). Unfortunately, the mosquitoes came in clouds but that’s expected. Was able to make it in my van and would be back a different, less ferocious time of the year. Just stunning.
We visited with our dog the first week of October to catch the fall colors. After driving up from Chicago, checking in, and then driving to Little Carp River Road, finally ready to hike at 4pm. Parking lot isn't huge and all sites were booked that weekend but we were able to snag a spot. We took the Little Carp River trail all the way to the site, which was easy to follow, a good bit of up and down but nothing too difficult. Reservation site says 2.3 miles, we did closer to 3.5 by the time we arrived. LC-7 and LC-6 are close to each other but far enough away that you have some privacy, couldn't hear the other party chatting. Fire wood in the area was sparse, everything was damp. Bear pole was tough to find, follow the trail past the site, then a stump, at the second huge tree on your left, turn to your right and climb the hill.
Site has a fire pit, logs to sit on and plenty of level space to pitch tents. It is right on the trail, so you may see some traffic. Good coverage from old growth trees, enough hills in the area to find privacy for squatting, and the river is easy to access. If I had to choose between LC-6 and LC-7, would pick 6, it's up higher and further from the trail.
We hiked back the next morning, went to Lake in the Clouds and then Ontonagon for lunch. Visited Squeeze on Main for food and beer, place is brand new, looks nice, price reasonable, food was ok. Then the bar a few doors down for more beer, they had a good selection.
Then we drove to the Pinkerton Trail head, limited parking on the side of the road, but room enough on the end for a few cars when we arrived. Pinkerton was a pleasant stroll through the woods, lots of boards, dead falls, and mud, and it's a gradual descent. Met up with the Superior Trail 3 miles in, then went left to LS-3.
LS-3 is everything we came for - right on the lake, plenty of firewood, ultimate in privacy since no other sites are within at least a half mile, perfectly level spot for the tent and a built-out fire pit area. Highly recommend.
Good people good times
This place was a great one night stop with beautiful camp spots on the lake. Beautiful waterfall.
Like the title, clean and quiet campground. Same price as state park with more evenly spaced sites. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great view of lake! Stopped for one night but would stay again if in area.
8/26-9/1/22- Free camping! There are vault toilets and hand-pump well drinking water in several places, and picnic tables and fire pits at each camp site. The sites are well maintained, clean, and reasonably flat. I tried self registering, but there was nowhere to sign-in. About 11Am the next morning, someone came by to register us. 2-bars Verizon 5G, and 2-bars AT&T 4G.
We rolled in about 10pm and drove through the western loop sites 1-22, pulled into the first pull-through site(W5) that we could easily get our 34’ fifth wheel into and went to sleep. In the morning, I walked the loop and found several others that we could fit(now that it was light out), and we moved over one site to W6. Site W21 has a lake view and a large loop in front of this back-in site that would be super easy to navigate for a big rig. Sites 11 and 12 were really close together but had a good views of the lake as well. Later, we drove over to the east camp site that all seemed to have lake views, and sites E12 and E13 are surrounded on 3 sides by water, a turn-around loop, and more sunlight for solar powered rigs. I didn’t think to check cell signal while there.
The towns of Watersmeet and Conover had the cheapest diesel fuel. The Wild Turkey Bar& Grill in Conover, WI had fabulous smoked meats, and there is a great little hardware store in Conover as well.
This area is being logged so many trees are gone. This makes it less pleasant now but that will change over time. Once we saw this we left and looked for another spot.
The campground is small but some space is between sites. Several are close together - perfect if you need a group type spot. Vault toilet and water hand pump are available. Go all the way to the boat launch and you can find a beach. Some campers found campsites here too.
This is a bit of a drive from the main road so maybe reflect on the logging before heading over. Don’t get us wrong though, the area is still quite beautiful.
As first time backpackers this hike was a bit difficult with almost 30 pound backpacks on. It was a great place to stay though! We stayed at lake of the clouds site LOC 1 the first night. No lake view and lots of mosquitos and right on the junction of the two trails. Next two nights were at mirror lake and stayed at site ML-3. Great view of the lake!! Though still lots of those darn mosquitos and a few biting flies darting at your head. Unfortunately couldn’t swim at either lake due to leeches. So beware. Overall experience was 4 stars cuz of those pesky bugs.
Best free campground. Fire ring picnic table. Beautiful lake full of fish. Amazing waterfall. Clean campground with toilet and hand pump for water. No dump station. West side is near the falls.
This site is a treat, falling asleep listening to Superior crash on shore was amazing.
Refused to pay a lot of money for a crappy campsite at Union Bay campground - Porcupine Mtn State Park, so we stopped for the night at River Road Campground. $20 with no hookups. Clean restrooms & shower stalls. The campground is an open field with plenty of pull thrus. Also has tent sites. Good overnight stay. BTW: Syl's Cafe in town is good.
This site is right next to the trail. Little to no privacy. Finding a place for a cat hole can be fun :D It does have a bear pole and water is available from the Big Carp River. I failed to take any photos of this location :(
We stayed one night at LS-12. Loved this site. I knocked off one star since it took us a bit to find a good spot to hang multiple bear bags. One pole would have been amazing. Also, the fire ring was too full for a fire. It offered plenty of privacy and space for multiple tents. Plus the amazing and beautiful lake access! No bugs, and perfect temps in mid-October.
Had a nice spot right on the lake. Site 39. Fall colors were stunning! Hiked Sturgeon River Falls about an hour away.
LOC-4 is Heaven.
It's the type of site I feel like I don't even want to tell people about because I want to keep it to myself.
I discovered this site about 10 years ago and rediscovered it again this year.
It's the last site on the trail so you are completely secluded. There is a fire ring and a bear pole about 100 yards behind the site. The site is basically on a small stretch of land that goes out into the lake so you are surrounded by water on three sides of you with a great view of the bluffs and rocks in front of you. There is also two trees that are perfect for setting up a hammock. The water is calm and it is all sand going out into the lake and stays very shallow so you can walk very far out.
It's a lot of work to get there but it is totally worth it. Pack light.
Nice camp site to stay at with great view of the bay. We drove to Houghton and took a hike. Restroom and showers not close however. The dump station was so easy since small campground. Very good price.
