Clean sites & restroom/shower house

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.

Glorified field

Not much to share here. RVs spaced about awning to awning in a field. They had power and water and sewer, but not much else to offer. Would consider if nothing else available within an hour’s drive.

Spacious

We stayed here to visit Porcupine Mountain State Park. We enjoyed the park, had some great hikes along water falls and spending time along the shore of Lake Superior.

Check-in was smooth and they offered us several options of sites to pick from. The campground seems to be well maintained and some of the sites are large. Our site was grass and had some ruts from previous guests. It sounded like they had a lot of rain earlier in the summer.

Some sites do face each other which we find a little awkward when you are not traveling with friends. The pressure to visit when outside every time does feel a bit uncomfortable. We were fortunate to have a great family next to us which made the awkwardness feel much less uncomfortable.

There were some sites that were full of toys (four wheelers and side-by-sides) but we never felt that they were noisy. There were a couple of sites that enjoyed “sharing” their music with the campground, but that didn’t subside after a while (thankfully).

Ontonagon is a quiet sleepy little town which didn’t seem to have much happening. But it was a Covid year and everything is a little different.

We enjoyed our time here and would stay here again and will bring some friends along as well.

Unexpected Gem

This is a very nicely maintained privately owned campground. Really great spaces for long Class A and C Motorhomes. Nice fishing on the Ontonagon River and big marina close-by. Porcupine Mountains just minutes down the road. Nice selection of books and DVDs to borrow too. Great play area for kids.

Quiet, laid-back place

Right across the street is a river. They have a few docks. Just a few blocks from the Ontonagon city marina. Somewhat close to city beaches on Lake Superior. The bathrooms and showers are always clean. Nice pull through sites and full hookups. You can socialize or keep to yourselves.
