Ontonagon Township Park and Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Stretched along both sides of Lakeshore Drive in Ontonagon, this 76-site municipal campground sits directly on Lake Superior, with sites 65-70 designated as premium lakefront spots and 12 additional sites with lake frontage. No reservations are accepted. The campground runs May through September, provides electric hookups (30-amp and 50-amp), a clean bathhouse with pay showers, and a dump station. Sites are close together with no physical separation, and sites 39-44 front the road directly, which can mean noticeable traffic noise. The adjacent town park adds a playground, basketball hoops, and disc golf. Campers researching campsites near Ontonagon will find this a functional overnight stop with solid Lake Superior access.

Take a chance that you can get a spot

General: 76 site (including five tent sites) campground stretched out on both sides of Lakeshore Drive. 50 sites are on the lakeside of the road with the remainder on the other side. Some have 50-amp electric, and some have 30-amp. No reservations are taken, and the campground appeared full when we were there on a Tuesday in September. It is located adjacent to the town park/playground/picnic area. The office is open 8 am– 8 pm and if you arrive after hours and are lucky enough to find a site, you use the pay station. 

Site Quality: Sites 65-70, located directly on Lake Superior are considered Premium. There are 12 other lakefront sites (not considered premium). Sites 39-44 are located directly on the road so road noise will be an issue if that bothers you. Sites are close together with no physical separation between them. 

Bathhouse: Was clean and well-lighted. Two pay showers were available.

Activities/Amenities: Wilderness trail (approx. ¾ mile), basketball hoops, disk golf, the beach, playground at the adjacent park plus a playground in the campsites across the street. 

We had stopped at the picnic area next to the campground, so I checked it out for a possible future stay. As long as we don’t get one of the roadside spots, it would be good for passing through. Probably would not stay here more than one night as we prefer campgrounds with more privacy. Also, not sure why ATVs would be welcome here – for us, the noise would be an issue.
