Very well maintained campground.
Was in upper loop site 8. This site was partially visible to the HWY but this did not impact peacefulness. Latrines were well maintained with plenty of trash disposals.
Would return again. If you want the lake to be easily walkable, recommend lower loop if possible but not necessary.

Camped in the lower loop. Both sites were great. Each site is separated from the next by a patch of woods which gives a definite sense of solitude and privacy.

Campsite was nice, designated tent location. Pit toilet clean. Water available. The Highway was close to our site, could hear traffic during the day, but it diminished at dark. Overall very quiet and a nice place. We liked to the lighthouse, good walk and destination. We watched the sunset on Superior, another nice feature. It was a stopping point for our tour of the north coast so we only stayed one night.

Beautiful campground on the shores of Lake Superior. We loved staying here. Site are spacious. Kids loved swimming in the lake every day and is was the perfect location to explore Pictured Rocks from. There are a lot of mosquitos so come with bug spray! We also wished that there was a better way to wash dishes at the campground. There was no dish washing station or even a drain under the spigot. We had to drive to town every day to take showers and do dishes at the RV park.

Very clean. The park service pulls trash and cleans restrooms daily. I always clean my campsite prior to set-up and only found 1 small piece of litter. Recommend taking the dirt path along the Hurricane River starting at the campgrounds. Bring your food with you or plan on driving to Munising ( 40 min drive )
Campsite #1 Hurricane River Campground
Beware that it’s within smell distance of the Poo Shack. Not real bad but it is noticeable.
Smallest site but the only site that provides solar for your panels. I was able to park my trailer total length 15’ and truck 17’ at campsite. Parks drinking water was acceptable no foul taste. 7 days is not enough to take in all the beauty the area has to offer.

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.)

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.

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

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!
