Herbster Campground

We really enjoyed camping here even with the open sites. The view is awesome and you can't beat the sunset!

We only stayed one night & I wish we could’ve stayed longer, super nice campground right on Lake Superior. We stayed in the wooded sites & those were nice & secluded

Site with fire pit (no grate), nice picnic table, and the amazing sound of waves. By late August, direct views of lake is obscured by beach grass but still just as delightful. Sites were close but our neighbors never showed so we lucked out. I loved that as a tent camper, we were placed further away from the RVs and the noises that can go with them. Site 6 was close to the path for all in the rest of the campground to get to the beacb. Nicely tended bathrooms just across the road with showers.

Wind gusts took our 8 person tent down while we were out during the day. Since it was my first time here, no idea of that kind of wind is typical or if it was the season or day.

The sunsets were unbeatable!! And we lucked out catching the northern lights our first night.

Loved the view. We had a lakeside tent site. Campsites aren’t that spread out. We had a good amount of space but we could easily hear the neighbors and was annoying late at night. There are some outhouses and ADA restrooms/showers. We were 15 minutes from Meyer’s Beach, which was great. Lakeside tent sites are right by the beach. Beach was rocky - bring a pair of crocs or similar shoe if you’re sensitive to the rocks and branches in the sand. Water was cool and felt great!

The wooded sites and beachfront sites are the best, highly recommend the wooded sites. Although you don’t have the view, it’s further from the road so you don’t hear any traffic, the RVs, etc. much more quiet that way.

We loved our stay here, just a bit colder than I was expecting and after coming across the US in June I was not dressed for the cold. We had warm stuff and were totally fine just something to think about. We camped at tent site #3 because we could park right next to our camp site. There are camping spots back in the woods a bit that you can park right next to but we wanted to be on the lake. The sunset was breathtaking, and we had fun picking stones. Be sure to bring your UV light for finding yooper lights.

We lost cell service on the way there and got a bit nervous, taking screen shots of the map but there is service there.

We camped in a tent without 2 dogs and young toddler and had a great time.

Camped here July 5th on our way South from Lake Superior and it was empty. Camped right along Lake Superior, practically the entire sandy beach to ourselves. Though close to the road and open, secluded, wooded tent sites and open. Even spots are also available. Cute place in an even cuter town. Excellent spot and would stay again if timing were right.

We tried it on the way to the UP of Michigan and came back the same route for two more nights. If you are a water lover, you’ll love the easy access to the water and walkable beach. 12 Reservable campsites online. Tent camping and electrical camping on water, and dry camping in the back woods first come first serve. Camp hosts are nice. Picnic table and fire ring included. Wood bundles $5 for a lot of wood. Laundry, separate bathrooms from shower trailer. Faucets in shower were odd. Definitely would stay again.

This was a great little spot to stay for a couple days. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is in an open field and feels a little like a parking lot, but it was really quiet and right on the lake, so we found very little room for complaint! It was beautiful to watch the sunsets at night and walk along the beach looking for agates along the way. I would definitely return here. We were in an RV so had one of the large RV sites, but if you're a camper, you will love the sites right on the water - looked like a lot of room to spread out and was just enough away from the RVs that I don't think they would have been much of a bother.

Couple notes: water and electric provided, no sites have full hookups, though there is a dump on site. The showers were clean and hot. No wifi, but we had a pretty decent AT&T signal with our WeBoost. Firewood is provided at $5 p.bundle. No laundry.

This campground is right across from the lakeshore but everyone is right next to each other. It reminds me of a parking lot. It’s away from the main road so the sound of the waves drew us in. There are a bunch of campers but this isn’t our thing. We did walk into the beach and saw spots to sit and relax. It is relatively close to Bayfield so this could be an option if others are filled up.

As long as it’s July or early August , it will be beautiful here. Watch out for the wind coming off the lake any other time!

Not much privacy with these campsites (or shade if you have one right on the lake) but the view is worth it to us! Boat landing is about a 10 minute drive down a gravel road, but it’s a nice area! There are tent sites on the side road that provide shad and some privacy as well. All sites and first-come (no reservations)

Herbester is on the shores of Lake Superior, its a beautiful campground. It's smaller with a little of every type of camping. From tent, rv hook ups and right on the water.

Great campground with tent sites next to the beach. RV sites are small and close together. Both 30 & 50 amp service for RV's. First come first serve for all sites. Can be very crowded in July and August. I recommend this campground if you like great views of Lake Superior.

Very beautiful place right on Lake Superior. The tent sites are right along the beach. Small and remote. Beautiful hiking locations close by.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. If your looking for a place to camp on the shore of Lake Superior, then this is your place. Nothing beats the sunsets!

They recently have gotten showers and a place to wash dishes.

From my experience if you want a tent site on the lake and not in the woods, you need to get there early Friday or go during the week.

Bring food with you, the nearest store is 7 miles away in Cornucopia.
