"Pet-friendly. Site can be reserved. Shore access & trail access to many waterfalls within a short walking distance."
"So the drive-in sites are literally all right next to each other, no privacy at all."
"Clean bathrooms, pet friendly. Awesome location on Lake Gogebic shore. Close to Porcupine Mountains and Bond Falls and hiking trails. Would love to visit again."
"This was a GREAT campground to stay at for checking out some of the numerous popular waterfalls in upper Michigan. Our grassy site was on the shore of the lake with lots of trees."
"The gravel drive was uphill so we ended up turning the camper 90 degrees.
2 miles after the main campground check in you will find the small road to the Union River Outpost campsites."
"There is a bridge and really nice trail along the river with waterfalls right at the end of the campground."
$17 / night
"Right next to the vault toilet. The bugs were pretty bad and we were here middle of June, however good bug spray and fire smoke helped ease them a little."
"From this campsite it’s about a 15 minute drive to Lake Superior beach, camp store, water, and presque isle. Beautiful hikes all around the park. Could hike for days and have gorgeous views."
"Wonderful campground beside Lake Superior. We had a site backed up to the lake and enjoyed the sound of Lake Superior waves!"
"80 sites on lake. $28-$35. Showers, electric, water. Close to town and nice walking trail."
"Inexpensive for being right next to a lake and in a small town. Though, at the time we went the lake had a water warning for bacteria and we did not swim.
Still, a pretty site."
"Only an overnighter, but it's excellent for those nights when you just had enough driving. Nice playground for the kids if needed, restaurant only about a tenth of a mile walk. Boat ramp."
$22 / night
"No firewood to purchase nearby. Big sites. Great fire pits. Clean Pit toilets. It was a peaceful spot right next to Lake Superior! Close access to beaches. Amazing hiking. The most beautiful sunsets."
"We had easy access to nicely maintained vault toilets, and had there been water available this year there were plenty of spigots—no hand pumps here."
"We found this campground on a walk around the town of Ontonagon, but didn't get a chance to camp here as it was already closed for the season. "
"There are a good amount of people here but it is quiet and I had four lake sites to choose from upon evening arrival. Beautiful view to wake up to and close to plenty of hiking."
GuideThis was our first time camping in Michigan and we loved being so close to Lake Superior. We're used to MN state parks, so we found the campsites in MI to be a bit small and too close to each other. The fire ring for the site behind ours was very close to the bed area of our camper. Our spot was campsite #98. There's not a lot of shade or vegetation between campsites in that row, but it was easy walking distance to the modern restroom/showers and Lake Superior. Next time we would like to camp along the lake. The trail around Lake of the Clouds was well worth it!
GuidePet-friendly. Site can be reserved. Shore access & trail access to many waterfalls within a short walking distance.
TravelerLoved this camping trip. Great park. Super helpful and friendly staff/hosts. Clean bathrooms, pet friendly. Awesome location on Lake Gogebic shore. Close to Porcupine Mountains and Bond Falls and hiking trails. Would love to visit again.
GuidePet-friendly. Site was able to be reserved online for overnight tent camping - however, it was labeled a "day-use" or "group" area - not sure if this was a fluke or what. Beautiful site right on the shores of Lake Superior with amazing views. The campsite was really busy, the sites looked packed together offering little privacy. This site is tucked away in a corner so you only have one neighboring site. Flooding would be a concern if expecting rain.
LegendThis large campground stretches out along the lakeshore. Some sites have beautiful lake views(we suggest trying those first). There are also some double sites that would nestle you in closely with your neighbors- perfect for a larger group. A few walk in spots are available too.
The nature trail doesn’t allow pets which was sad. However the paved bike route is nearby and goes for miles. Town is a short bike ride away. This weekend was an organized ride so it was quite a busy path. A couple days later the town had a large garage sale-type fair. The cookies and jam were great!
This was a great discovery. We are adding this to our places to return to.
The lake is beautiful and has a nice picnic area with a place to launch your boat.
GuideBeautiful family campground on the North ashore of Lake Superior. It has RV, tent and back country sites as well as cabins and yurts for rent. Many amazing hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls to explore near by. Campground has large clean bathrooms and showers and a nice camp store. It is also pet friendly and has WiFi, but no playground. We stayed at site 82 which had a partial view of the lake and backed the tree line. It was a nice site. I gave this campground 4 out of 5 stars because some of the sites were a little too close together but overall a great campground and we will be back!
GuideThis 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 :(
ScoutSo the drive-in sites are literally all right next to each other, no privacy at all. There are some drive-in sites next to the shore (enscarpment) and those looked nice with trees and a bit more privacy. The walk-in sites have some distance between them, but not visual privacy, as the tree canopy is very tall. Walk-in was not too far, we kept our food in our car and walked back and forth for it. Bears visited a few of the walk-in sites on our last night, so be very good about keeping food, etc. in your car. No bear boxes in this park. Beautiful Lake Superior sunsets! Because it's on the border of the Eastern time zone, day light lingers for a long time in the summer. Water and pit toilets were close by. Water was clear and cold! Many families, children, and dogs present and everyone was quiet and well-behaved. Will definitely be back. The biting flies were a bit much and caused us to literally run out the last morning we were there, but that happens. We will definitely be back!
TravelerThis was a great car campground visited in August 2020. We could walk to the visitor center via a short wooded trail, walk or drive to a small convenience store with firewood, and step over to Lake Superior each evening for sunrise. Lots of black flies in Northern Michigan during late summer, and plenty of humidity but great campground near beautiful hikes. Make sure to do escarpment trail!
