Beautiful location, very well kept facilities (wouldn’t even know they were vaulted) and amazing views. Would definitely come back.

Great, simple, and clean campsite. It was great having beach access for the whole campground. It is worth noting that, to my knowledge, there was no place to wash dishes. Also, at our specific site, it was fairly loud at night with road noise. We have been to the same campground many years prior and recommend it to anyone!

Beautiful site! Bugs were minimal and park was very well taken care of. Cleanest pit toilet I’ve ever been in!! This will definitely be a park we plan to visit again and again!!

Some of the sites were very close together but overall great camp grounds. It’s very quiet and clean. Vault toilets seem a bit shallow compared to other national parks which made them a bit smelly. Very close to the water, pictured rocks. Lots of great hiking and activities. Munising is nearby with plenty to do on the rainy days.

Great campground. We stayed at a lake front spot and it was super clean and close to the beach area. Awesome that they have a dump and water station.

Site 13 exceeded our expectations! So private. Surrounded by beautiful tall pines - and distanced from all neighbors. Just lovely. A path led from the camper to an earthen terrace right on the edge of a lovely Lake Superior bay. We sat our chairs there, did some reading, and had our morning coffee right there by the water. Enjoyed walking over to see the partially restored pig iron furnace and reading the history. We hope to come back and would love to stay at this site for several days. Thanks for such a nice respite!
