The site is amazing. Beautiful, clean, convenient to trails.

The insects were terrible. Flies and mosquitoes. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Definitely make sure to visit this campsite… just not during bug season.

Beautiful little spot. Not many spots make for a chill campsite. Rangers came and took trash and cleaned vault toilets every day. Amazing hike to Lake Superior coves.

If you want to get off the grid I highly recommend a spot at Little Beaver Lake!
Our site had a beautiful view of the lake. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained for pit toilets. The campground is small so it's not loud.
It is a drive to get into the campground or out to explore other parts of the park. The Loop hike to Chapel Beach is pretty amazing. The biting flies are no joke! Wear loose fitting long pants and shirt. We didn't find any bug spray that kept them at bay.
Junior Ranger program was great! It gets kids interested in things. I really like the bingo activity.
No cell service at the campsite! Also, no showers! Only 1 bear box for the entire campground, which was fine because most of us had cars to store things in. But if you're a hiker, there is limited food storage.

Had a great time at Little Beaver campground. I like hiking the area and visiting some of my favorite Pictured Rocks sites outside of the usual touristy places. That being said, on the first night of my stay there was a dog in site 5 overnight and the next day. You have a large professional sign for "no generators" in the campground, but a very small hand written "no dogs" on the camp rules. In addition, the second day I was there, fishermen were using a boat with a large gasoline motor on both Beaver Lakes. I reported it to some park workers while the party was loading their boat and motor and was told they would contact "enforcement". The license tag was Michigan 86ABP0(zero).

The location and campground is beautiful. Loved our campsite (#4) at Little Beaver. Potable water at the campground and well-kept pit toilet. There's a very steep hill on the road going in. Great hikes all through the park and we took one to the lake directly from the campground. The coast, beach area, and park upkeep was great. The big BUT was that the mosquitos were oppressive here. (Early June). We thankfully brought a lot of bug gear - head nets, hammock nets, and sprays, but even with those we didn't stay the last night of our booking. It may be worth checking the radar, and if wind is above 5 mph they'll be less of a problem. We took advantage of our extra time by going into Munising for a Glass Bottom Shipwreck tour, highly recommend. Will come back!
