What Guests Are Saying
Bay Furnace Campground offers a beautiful, quiet setting with large, private sites and well-maintained facilities, making it an excellent base for exploring the Munising and Pictured Rocks area. Visitors appreciate the clean bathrooms and friendly hosts, along with easy access to Lake Superior's sandy beach and the historic Bay Furnace site. While some noted issues with road conditions and occasional noise, many expressed a desire to return due to the campground's overall appeal and recreational opportunities.

Bay Furnace is a beautiful campground! We were excited to be able to take the short trail through the woods to the beach! The toilets were always clean and stocked with toilet paper.

All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
- Don't move firewood: To limit the spread of invasive tree-killing pests, firewood from outside the area is not permitted. Some states have quarantines and may confiscate your firewood. Please help protect our forests from invasive species by obtaining your firewood at or near your camping destination and burning it on-site. Visit dontmovefirewood.org for more information.
