Great campground for those that like piece and quiet. Trail access is wonderful. I used the campsite as a basecamp for two days of trail running. Could not have been any better. 10 out of 10!

We loved staying in this campsite. Its in a beautiful spot along the lake and the nearby trails were great too. The drive in was perfectly fine with a Ford Escape. Will camp here again!

Caution with the road out to the sight. It's a single road that needs to be taking carefully. There are many potholes and you have to be aware of other oncoming vehicles. Otherwise, an awesome campsite!

Little beaver campground is off the beaten path and very rustic, but each site has access to the lake with a boat ramp just a few feet away. Michigan's upper peninsula is absolutely gorgeous and, if you can, the best way to see Pictured Rocks is by kayaking tour. The town of Munising the closest to civilization you're going to get around there and it has an adorable main street in small town America feel. Our favorite spot was Falling Rocks cafe. Highly recommended!

A long twisting dirt road that leads you to its tranquil spot by the lake. A brief walk, the trees pull away, and you are on the beach of Lake Superior. I stayed for a few days, but I could have stayed for weeks. Great place for kids and anyone else. If you need WiFi, you’ve come to the wrong place. Go to unplug physically and mentally.
