Hurricane River Campground

Large tent platform. Sites visibly shielded from one another by trees, lending a sense of privacy. Easy access to a beautiful lake and lakeshore.

Our stay at Hurricane River was very limited. We arrived late one afternoon and departed the next morning, on our way to Wells State Park, The campground (Upper) was beautiful and secluded, and the the Fall colors were at their peak. We would like a longer stay next time.

Facilities limited to pit toilets at which were shared by heavy traffic from trail-users. Stinky!

A beautiful and quiet stay. Highly recommend! If you plan on staying here though make sure you bring some firewood, otherwise you’ll be driving for the nearest town for some.

This campground is a gem. The upper loop is less traveled but further from the lake (still a short walk). The lower loop is just about on the lake. A trail runs thru it, so you often see hikers and backpackers, but it still feels like you're away from everything.
Be mindful: cell signal is not existent here.
In the lower loop, some sites feel more private than others. I was in site 9 and while wooded, I was surrounded on three sides by the campground road. In the off season, it was still quiet, but I can see how this can get annoying for some people. Still, with only 12 sites in the lower loop and 10 in the upper, this is much less crowded than Twelvemile Campground.

Campsites were very nice. We stayed at #9. #10 has a view of water if you position your tent that way. Loved being across the road from the lake with the sounds of the waves as you fall asleep. We went early (May 19-21) and we found no trail maps at campground entry or camp wood to buy. We had to buy wood at some roadside place. Many small roadside spots were still closed being it was so early in the season so be prepared and buy some before you enter park area. No cell service, which was ok for us but if you need it don’t plan on it. Vault bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. Bear boxes located throughout park to store food for people who didn’t camp with a car. Campsite also has bear proof garbage boxes. Just would have been nice to have a trail map for our hikes. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a very relaxing visit.

Very nice rustic campground, clean vault restrooms, awesome tent sites wide drives for vehicles! Nice and quiet! Will definitely go again.

Central to many hikes.

Campsite was very nice, but 37 mi from Munising, if taking a boat tour. We didn’t spend a lot of time at camp. There were mosquitos, as the site was wooded. We weee across the road from the beach, which wasn’t visible through the trees, but a very short walk. Restrooms were reasonably clean
