Campers, trailers, and RVs are welcome, note there are generator free areas. Cell phone reception is limited, so unplug, unwind, and enjoy the serenity Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Campgrounds has to offer.  This small campground (9 sites) is located 3 miles (1 km) north of Alger County Road H-58 and 20 miles northeast of Munising on Little Beaver Lake. One campsite is wheelchair accessible. Because of the small campsites and the narrow, twisting, hilly access road it is highly suggested you check the campsite length, width, and height before booking.Pets are NOT allowed at Little Beaver Campground.A small boat ramp is available for launching boats. Only electric motors are permitted on Little Beaver Lake and Beaver Lake as these lakes are within the Beaver Basin Wilderness area. Little Beaver also features the Little Beaver Nature Trail, a 1.0 mile (.3 km) loop trail. A 1.5 mile (2.4 km) trail leads to Lake Superior and connects with the North Country Trail.

The road to the campground needs a lot of work. Other than that, it was clean, quiet, and a beautiful environment.

We stayed at site 3 toward the end of September. Wonderful little campsite that backs up to Little Beaver Lake! The 3 mile long dirt road to get into the site is mostly well-taken care of but there are definitely some rough spots. No cell phone service (Verizon, at least). The bathrooms were not in the best condition, even for vault style. It POURED our first night and the entire area around the picnic table and fire ring flooded but the tent pad appeared to stay above water. Didn't experience too many insect but that's probably because of the time of year.

Very quiet and remote feeling. The only downside we had was that we wished we had stayed somewhere that required less driving just to get in an out of the site. That being said, there is a trailhead at the campsite that will get you to twelve mile beach and other trail systems (including Mosquito/Chapel Falls/Beach). Dogs are NOT ALLOWED on these trails, thus our need to drive in an out of the park. Dog ARE ALLOWED at the campsite. We have a crossover SUV and were towing a 16ft pop-up camper and it was a little tight trying to back in (but we are also novice trailer campers).

There is a restaurant called The Bear Trap a little over 20 minutes from the campgrounds where H-15 and H-58 intersect. Very friendly and good food. They appear to be open for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
