Loved this site!

We were in spot 7 and it was great! 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. Really close to Lake on the Clouds, the beach, and some little shops for last minute necessities. There’s also the Summit Peak Hike close to the site that was only a half mile hike! Will definitely be back!

Great Rustic Campground

Awesome little campground on the south side of the Porcupines. It’s in a convenient location to the hiking around the park. The sites are large, the campground is small (and quiet) and there’s even a creek that runs along the west side of the campground. We stayed in site 1. If you do cook using the fire pit grates, they do not have them here in the fire pits at this campground. You need to reserve sites and check in at the visitor center before you head to the site. I’d highly recommend this place to anybody in a tent especially!

Quiet, beautiful stars

We had site 6. It was large enough for our 17 foot camper. 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. Pit toilet available.
