Beautiful, peaceful campground. The only unfortunate things we ran into was the bathrooms were less than ideal and unfortunately you get a lot of road noise depending on the time of day.

We tent camped for 3 nights at Bay Furnace Campground site 001 for our 10 year anniversary. The campground itself was clean and well kept. Site 001 was great for our needs. It was private and close to the restrooms, with just a short walk to the beach. We recommend this campground and would stay here again!

Despite the rustic power issue, the site was roomy - yet private, walking distance to the beach and the roads were well groomed. We loved our stay.

We stayed at site 31and it was very private and roomy. We also walked around both loops and it is a beautiful, well-maintained campground. We spent a lot of time enjoying the lake and finding rocks on the little beach. Great place to stay if you’re visiting Pictured Rocks.
