Amazing spot! Campsite dog friendly but none of the trails connected are. Which is a bummer but understandable.

Nice little campground off the beaten path. Best suited for tents or small RV's. Trailers not advised due to narrow road leading into the campground and tight space within the campground.
Great setting on Little Beaver Lake and trailhead for a nice hike out to Lake Superior.

Small, very tight campsites but during our stay it remained remarkably quiet. A couple from Florida showed up with their trailer and assumed there were water hookups at each site since the amenities listed "drinking water." They proceeded to back their trailer up to the drinking fountain spigot and filled their camper!!! As this is a remote, RUSTIC campground it has only a solar pump...he could have easily used up all the water supply as it takes a long time to regenerate. Does not get more selfish than that! Not to mention he completely blocked access for others trying to enter camp. Best for only tent camping, windy road and tight sites. After talking to others who have previously camped here, it would be prudent to have a host on site or regular ranger activity. Since the reservation system was put in place apparently people are just taking any vacant site and with no phone or internet there is little to do about it! I feel lucky we had the good experience that we did!

Beautiful campground but our reserved site was occupied when we arrived at 1:00 Had to wait most of the day for them to return and move out. We didn't get to enjoy our 1night stay. Won't be back because it's not patrolled.
