Hurricane River Campground

Our campsite (number 11) was nice and very serene/quiet. It had a raised area for our tent, a fire pit with a grate on it for cooking, a picnic table, and plenty of space for our car. We were tucked into the trees which was nice for privacy (we could see our neighbors through the trees, but the sites were off-set so we weren't right next to each other). We were two sites down from the bathrooms which was very convenient, and they were in good shape for pit toilets.
We were right across the road from the beach access path (a one minute walk and you were on the beach). You had to go down a small sand hill to get there but it was really easy, and the beach was beautiful. The Hurricane river was close by too, and it was fun hanging out where the river met Lake Superior. It got really windy one night we were there, and you could hear the waves from the lake, but we were protected at the campsite, and felt no wind by our tent.
We were also a 20 minute drive to Grand Marais, so it was easy to pop into town when needed. We tried the Grand Marais Tavern for dinner one night - it was great (I would recommend the white fish basket). All in all we had a nice time!

Very nice. Rustic.

We are new to camping - we arrived late and didn't understand that there wasn't a check-in area. Felt odd!!! The spot fit well and hopefully some day, they will have electric and water facilities. The only negative was the bathroom was so bad that I went back to camper and used our bathroom.

We stayed at the upper campground site #1 for a night in September. Great location for nearby trails & views. Bit further from the toilet than the rest, but loved the seclusion from other sites. Quiet, very enjoyable.

The campsite was as described and was functional. Unfortunately, the day of the reservation the weather turned very poor and made for a rough visit.

Wooded campsite was not secluded as it was on the inner part of the curve on the road. The access to the beach was excellent! The 1.5 mi walk to Au Sable Lighthouse was an awesome little jaunt!

Campsites were very private and quiet in October. If I were to come back, I’d choose a campsite on 12 mi Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking in Pictures Rocks National Lakeshore.

Pictured Rocks Lakeshore is a fantastic area to vacation. Great hiking trails. Camp sites were large and uncrowded. Pit toilet was clean. Plenty of Trash Disposal Containers.

The pit toilets were fly infested and smelled terrible. They weren't well maintained compared to other pit toilets I've used across the country. Other than that, the campground was great.

Had a lovely time at this campground. We were at #4 lower and it was perfect. If you're near the Lake Superior side, it might be louder and windier. It was more protected and quiet back from the lake. Great location for exploring the eastern parts of Pictured Rocks.

There are fire rings with cooking grates, pole for lantern, and nice pads for tents. Amenities are simple but the location is great.
