We only stayed here 1 night, but loved how woodsy and private the sites were.

This campground was really nice and well kept and quiet. Very well spaced out and at times it felt like we were the only ones there. Site 10 is amazing but so are most of the other ones there too. I always like to walk the campground and see what the other sites look like and I would have been happy with any of them. This campground is about 20 minutes give or take from Grand Marais which has some basic needs, Munising is about an hour drive the other direction and offers a lot more so consider that. But we didn’t mind that, most of what the Park has to offer is towards Munising and we spent most of time in that direction. Driving back towards the campground made it feel a lot more remote like dispersed camping but with water and toilet facilities. We absolutely loved this campground and spent a lot time just hanging out and enjoying the camp life.

Potable water was difficult to access with an RV. The only water was from a push button faucet located on the drinking fountains. I checked with the camp host and she confirmed this. The water pressure was extremely low and it took 20 minutes to fill a 5-gallon bottle. There were no showers or flush toilets. It was challenging to have a comfortable visit.

Site is perfect, right next to the water and close to bathrooms. Quiet campground which is nice. If you need cell service there is full cell service down at Ausable lighthouse. A nice walk to the lighthouse which also has wild blueberries growing all over when you get there, about 2.0 miles, that you can pick. Love our stay as always over all!

We were happy to get a coveted campsite within PRNL. The site was as pictured and heavily wooded, though surprisingly loud with road traffic noise, starting early each morning. Bring your bug spray and mosquito netting and you'll be fine and within reach of Hurricane River beach for pretty sunsets.

While there’s plenty to do (hiking, kayaking, biking, etc), the best pleasure comes from doing not much. I can just sit for hours watching the river empty out into Lake Superior. Even when the campground is full, it all feels quiet and secluded.

One of the most private campgrounds/campsites we’ve experienced! There was no check-in, which was great (simply set up at your reserved site). We spent a lot of time at the beach accessible by a short (0.2 mile) walk to the lower campground (or a 30 second drive 😂) and enjoyed the walk to the lighthouse, also accessible by the lower campground. There’s also an overlook of the lake right by the campground, which was beautiful. Aside from that, there wasn’t really anything close-by, but we enjoyed driving into munising to check out other beaches, some shops, eat pasties, and the waterfalls! We did the short hike to Wagner falls, checked out Miners Castle, beach, and Falls as well as the overlook. We also drove into Grand Marais - which was closer than munising - to check out Sable Falls and the Log Slide overlook. Overall great campground, but not much around unless you’re up for a drive!
