We loved the remoteness and the small size of the campground, we really felt like we were in the wilderness. The accessibility of both lakes made kayaking very easy. The hiking trails out to Lake Superior were well-maintained and easy to follow (just watch out for those stairs!) The only downside to our visit was that the latrines were very aromatic. They were not full and were clean, so we're not sure why, we just made our visits there quickly.

This park took us by surprise. We brought our dog camping at Little Beaver lake campground and couldn't do much hiking there, but they have so many trails that are dog friendly at Pictured Rocks that we just drove to. The campground was beautiful and the bathrooms were as clean as possible.
I'm sure we will be back.

More of a ranger presence would have been nice. A few campers with no reservations taking advantage of the empty sites.

Great small campground! Not a ton of space per site, but the hikes and lake are awesome. Would recommend to anyone! Just to be sure to follow the rules regarding costs per tent.
