Pictured Rocks RV Park and Campground

9 ReviewsAdd Review

Reservations run $40 to $45 per night at this full-hookup RV park on the east side of Christmas, Michigan, with online booking available and a firm noon check-in and check-out window. The access road has a rough stretch, so drivers of larger rigs should factor that in when planning arrival. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections are available throughout, along with a dump station, showers, coin laundry, and WiFi adequate for email and light browsing.

Sites are large and well-spaced, a detail reviewers mention consistently across multiple visits. Most pads are concrete or gravel and largely level, though site 4 runs notably uphill. Shade is the main tradeoff here: the interior sites sit in an open field, and while trees have been planted across the property, they remain small. The outer ring has more tree cover. On windy days the exposed layout is noticeable, and bugs can be a factor during warmer months.

Cell coverage is reported as reliable on Verizon and AT&T. The campground draws a quieter crowd, and as Lauren M. notes, there are "lots of people out walking all times of day, otherwise really quiet." Pets are welcome on leash. The location works well as a staging point for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, with boat tours and kayak rentals available in Munising for those exploring campgrounds near Munising. Campers wanting a different setup nearby can look at Lake Superior Beachfront (US Forest Land) for a more rustic alternative.

Many campers appreciated the spacious, level sites with quality full hookups and friendly staff at this newer campground. Visitors repeatedly highlighted the excellent location near Pictured Rocks, though several noted the limited shade from young trees.

Clean close to town and quiet

This is a very wide open center, or back in to Wooded sites. All site are very large and spacious. Picnic tables and site rings. Check in at noon, check out at noon. Just make sure to leave by noon or they charge you $100. Lots of people out walking all times of day, otherwise really quiet and don't feel like you are intruded on by neighbors. Most sites are concrete pads. Site 4 is gravel and very up hill. But we were able to make our Solitude work off autolevel.

Great private campground

This is one of the best camp grounds in the UP. Sites are full service and well spaced out. Several showers with hot water. Can serve as a great base camp for adventures in Pictured Rocks. Cell service is pretty good (Verizon)

Nice, clean, level sites, well spaced

This centrally-located campground was a decent spot for RVers. It looked to be fairly new: impeccable and level sites, well-spaced out, and full hook-ups. Wifi and AT&T service was good, though we didn't use much. There were no trees to speak of, which made it hot, but it cooled down nice enough at night. Was very quiet. Definitely appealed to an older clientele, as there were no playgrounds, trails, etc, but the kids stumbled upon a sand dune just off the main stretch of campsites. Not sure if they were *supposed* to be there, but a little playing in the dirt can't hurt, right?!

Very large sites, good wifi

Newer campground so the landscaping is still being developed. Basically a large open field but the sites are large and easy to maneuver in. 4 cabins also available. Very close to tourist locations.

Excellent new campground

Open, level gravel sites and some concrete pads scattered throughout this pretty new campground. A few baby trees in the open meadow are trying to get started, but other than those there is no shade. We stayed in a full hook up 50 amp site, and experienced no power issues despite 2 days of freakishly high winds and scorching heat in the 90s. This is an immaculately clean and well run campground. Wi fi is ok for email and phone scrolling social media. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is due to construction in the campground with dump trucks and beep beep beep of machinery backing up every day. Once they are finished and the shade trees grow this will be a premier campground in a beautiful area. Pets allowed on leash. Trash receptacles convenient to each area of the campground. Bath house with coin laundry machines.

Newer Campground and Well Laid Out

My family stayer here for five night this past June. Reservations and deposit was easy to do online. Their reservation system was easy to use, able to pick out site and was also able to do some more extensive search criteria on it as well to check availability. The office is a small building as you enter the campground. The staff was prepared for us and the process of checking-in was very smooth.

This is a newer park but well maintained. The sites are well layout, with a good amount a space between sites. Full hookups and everything worked well.

If it were dry it could see things get dusty on a windy day but the area had a good amount of rain this summer and this was not an issue for us. There is a good mix of pull-thru sites and back-in sites. The site was what looked like a mixture of gravel and recycled asphalt and was mostly level. A little rough on bare feet but an outdoor rug help out a ton. While we were there they were planting tress. It will take sometime for them to grow to provide very much shade but you can tell they are looking towards the future.

There were a lot of bugs while we were there, so it was hard to stay outdoors for a long period of time during certain times of the day. But this is the Mid-west and it is just part of this region of the US. Next time I would bring a screen tent to be able to sit outside and enjoy the view.

Restrooms and Showers were not open due to COVID.

This campground in located on the east side of small town of Christmas and a short drive west to Munising, WI. and it is not a far drive to Pictured Rocks National Lake shore. It is a beautiful park and I would highly recommend seeing the rocks along the lake shore either from the water on a guided boat tour, kayak tour, or boat ( there are pontoon rentals available too). Most of these options are available in Munising. Also hiking through the park forest, along the lake shore, rivers and many waterfalls was a great experience.

We will definitely stay again at this RV park again.
