Sturgeon River Campground

This campground was an unexpected awesome surprise! After spending a busy week coming across the UP, and enjoying the "tourist sites" and experiencing the crowded, extremely busy State Park Campgrounds, we found this wonderfully, quiet, absolutely beautiful campground. Away from crowds, away from traffic, away from the hustle bustle of cities ... we found our Peace! Plus it's free!!! Dispersed camping, just a fire ring and a picnic table, plus the view and the sounds of the river as it passes by us just a few feet away. What more could we ask?

The Sturgeon River is wide and beautiful. Just imagine sitting next to the rippling water. The road there is down some dirt roads with some bumps but it’s drivable.

The small rustic campground doesn’t have all the frills so this is for the rustic campers. The sites vary but there is shade to be found. We enjoyed the seclusion of this forest campground.

On the way to camp you pass a trailhead. Head back for a hike. This is in the Sturgeon River wilderness so take care to leave no trace that you were here.

Quiet, peaceful national forest campground. Free. 9 wooded sites. Near the river; nice to hear at night. Good spacing between sites. Some are level. Mens/womens vault toilets. No water. No trash; need to pack it out. Basic T-Mobile service is very sporadic. Would stay here again.
