Hurricane River Campground is praised for its beautiful location near Lake Superior, with clean facilities and well-maintained sites that offer privacy. Campers enjoy the easy access to hiking trails, pristine beaches, and the soothing sound of waves. However, many reviews mention issues with mosquitoes and the need for better campground management, including the presence of hosts and clearer information. Overall, it’s seen as a lovely spot, especially for hikers and nature lovers.

We loved the spacious sights, and the quiet nights there. The only issue we had was the slope of the sight…it required 5 sets of levelers because we had to raise both sets of dualies (on our back tires.)

Well-spaced sites with views into the forest. Can hike/walk to Au Sable Light Station. Quiet hours ignored by neighbors both nights.

Nice large pad for tent, and wide, long level space for an RV. Bathroom was clean and conveniently located to accommodate every site. I didn't realize that water wasn't available but I had brought enough along.

Beautiful, primitive, quiet. Walk the beach, check out the shipwrecks. Hike to the lighthouse. Take a snack and something to drink, the view from the point is beautiful. Wear lightweight long pants and long sleeved shirt to keep the biting flies from making you miserable. This campground is the best!

I was in site 3 and it was a very good spot. This is a very quiet campground within walking distance of the lake. No bug issues either which was a big plus, I highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed the hikes but the flies were terrible. Not the campground fault. Campsites were acceptable. However the pit toilets could have been cleaner. Seats were left up. Flies bad in the afternoon and floors seem to be always wet.

Host and ranger were superb handling a situation about someone occupying my spot, the place is beautiful and a few steps from lake Superior. Don't miss the sunset

Campsite was clean, though we couldn't move the picnic table which made for awkward setup with two tents. The campsite is basic and water is a bit far away from most sites to be convenient. Vault toilets were cleaned daily and garbage pick up was daily.
Au Sable Falls and Dunes were spectacular and all is within minutes car ride from this campsite.
For the getting to the visitor center by Grand Marais was convenient. However, don't expect to be able to buy things in the store as it was never staffed when we were there. That was super frustrating. Apparently that is a different contract from the park employees.

While weather is unpredictable here in May and June, I prefer coming here then. It's quieter and less crowded. If you like solitude and the spartan amenities car camping can afford, I highly recommend Hurricane River. But it can't be emphasized enough: the weather could be pleasant, but also very likely to be very, very, very lousy. Prepare for freezing rain and winds, and yes, snow in May is not unheard of (one May, I once woke up to a blanket of snow on my site at Sleeping Bear Dunes, which is farther south, so I imagine May snow in the U.P. is not unusual).
