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!

Little Beaver Campground was awesome! It was super close to pictured rocks and was a fairly quiet campground. The facilities are about what you would expect for a rustic campground. Would camp here again!

The site that I had reserved was occupied, whether they were just in the wrong site by accident or if they just showed up I don't know, but they refused to move and since there were not any people there working or monitoring it, there was nothing I could do about it. Luckily there was 1 random site that was unoccupied, so I was still able to stay there. Other than that initial confusion it was nice and a convenient campground for exploring the pictured rocks, big bear lake, and surrounding area and we enjoyed the stay. However, it would be nice if there was at least 1 person to work the campsite to ensure confusions like this doesn't happen.
