Anglers and creek-side campers have a straightforward draw at Wood Pecker Creek: the site sits directly alongside a creek in the Big Bay area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Access is walk-in only, so arriving with manageable gear matters. At $30 per night, the campground provides toilets, firewood for purchase, and allows both campfires and pets. Reservations are available, which is worth noting for anyone planning a trip to camping near Big Bay during busier summer months. Those wanting nearby alternatives can look at Little Garlic River Dispersed — Gwinn State Forest, roughly five miles southeast.
