1 campground with availability this weekend
River Road RV Park in Ontonagon offers full hookups with water, sewer, and electric connections on spacious sites in an open field layout. Alpine Campground & RV Park provides water and electric (30-amp) sites with pull-through options that accommodate larger rigs, though some travelers report the sites are "just long enough for our 35' trailer and truck to stay connected." Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park's Union Bay Campground features electric sites with sanitary dump station access and shower facilities, while Ontonagon Township Park Campground provides full hookup sites including 50-amp service and is open seasonally from May through mid-October.
Most RV parks in the region accept reservations, though availability varies significantly during peak summer and fall seasons. Cell service can be limited, particularly at campgrounds near Lake Superior and in the Porcupine Mountains area. Dump stations are available at most parks, with River Road and Alpine offering on-site dumping facilities. Pet policies differ between locations—Union Bay restricts pets, while most private RV parks welcome them. Winter camping options are limited, with many parks closing between October and May due to heavy Upper Peninsula snowfall. One visitor noted that Alpine Campground has "plenty of space in between camping or RV spots" for those seeking less crowded conditions.

ScoutSite 28. Literally right on shore. Sleeping to the waves and waking up to endless water. T-Mobile says no coverage in Dyrt app, but I had two bars most of the time.
RangerSites are very close together but the area is beautiful. Maybe it was unusual but it was very windy for 3 days in a row
RangerPotato falls is beautiful. A bit of a walk to both the upper and lower falls and I did not find actual easy access to the water, although I’m traveling solo so there’s only so much risk I’ll take. There’s some sort of protest here going on but the group has been quiet. I was discouraged at first thinking I wouldn’t find a spot, but the sites are far enough apart (out of eye sight within ear shot) that I felt comfortable staying. I walked to both upper and lower falls - about 320ish steps total. Verizon has 2 bars of service. Pit toilet located in the pavilion like area. Campsite has picnic table and fire pit.
ScoutNice quiet campground right on Lake Superior No electric sites
TravelerBeautiful, quiet campground with a true wilderness feel. The three nearby waterfalls are a must-see, and make sure to spend some time exploring the riverbed around them—it was one of the highlights of our stay. Great location for hiking, scenery, and enjoying the natural side of the Porcupine Mountains.
GuideThis is a typical national forest primitive campground. For me, it was the perfect middle point while driving along the seven hour plane crash trail. The sites along the lake are really beautiful. I did see a fifth-wheel camper at one of the sites so larger trailers can fit at some sites. Most sites are level but a few aren’t.
I could not find this campground in recreation.gov, so it may be first come first serve only, not sure.
There are pit toilets and hand pumps for potable water.
It’s $22 per night unless you have a senior pass, etc. they use the honor system so there is no one here at the pay station.
There are 24 sites and counting me there was only three or four in use on a Sunday night.
TravelerWe had a site along the lake, close to the bath house and across from the camp host. Barb house and showers very clean. Bought fire wood at a great a lot right down the road.
GuideWell separated sites offer excellent privacy in an old growth forest. CG was very quiet
GuideVery nice showers and modern bathroom, a much welcome amenity after a few days without amenities. But it is in town, next to the highway, however it was fairly quiet.
Camping in White Pine, Michigan offers outdoor recreation opportunities throughout Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. This remote region receives over 200 inches of annual snowfall and features dense forests alongside Lake Superior's southern shoreline. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-75°F, with nighttime temperatures often dropping into the 40s even in July.
Waterfall exploring: Black River Harbor Campground is located near five impressive waterfalls along the Black River Scenic Byway. "The real gem of this place is the location. The Black River Falls are an astounding bit of Michigan scenery just minutes away by car," notes one visitor who hiked a "7 mile out-and-back trail that brought us past five of the falls."
Sunset viewing: Lake Superior beaches provide remarkable sunset views throughout the region. At Ontonagon Township Park and Campground, campers enjoy direct beach access. "We pulled in last minute and found a great campsite right on the lake," reports one reviewer, while another mentions the "beautiful views to wake up to."
Disc golf: Multiple courses exist in the area for disc golf enthusiasts. The Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park offers an 18-hole disc course according to visitors, with one camper noting there's a "play area for kids, frisbee golf, and accommodations for equestrians" at the municipal park in Ontonagon.
Lake access: Several campgrounds provide direct shoreline access. At Presque Isle - Porcupine Mountains State Park, some sites feature clifftop views of Lake Superior. One visitor highlights, "There are a few sites which are along the cliff side looking down to Lake Superior, we were lucky enough to reserve one of those, site 2. It was a very large site."
Rustic camping: Presque Isle offers generator-free camping options in a more natural setting. "There is a section that allows generators during certain hours of the day, a non-generator area and a few walk-in sites," explains a reviewer who appreciated the less crowded experience compared to Union Bay.
Clean facilities: Though amenities vary across campgrounds, visitors frequently mention facility maintenance. At Alpine Campground, one camper observed "clean bathrooms with hot showers" and noted that the "firewood was reasonably priced and a generous amount."
Seasonal insect issues: Black flies can be problematic in early summer. A visitor to Black River Harbor Campground warns, "They. Are. EVERYWHERE. We went early-mid July and it was so bad we left with at least 20 bites each. Deet does nothing." A local apparently told them "no bug spray works, any spray that says it does is lying."
Varying site privacy: Campground layouts range from open fields to wooded settings. One visitor to River Road RV Park mentioned sites were "right across the street from a river" with "a few docks," while another described it as a "glorified field" with "RVs spaced about awning to awning."
First-come availability: Several campgrounds operate without reservations. Ontonagon Township Park operates on a first-come basis, with one visitor sharing: "You really have to be there, in person by 7AM to wait in line to get a site."
