Beautiful, secluded sites! Efficient reservations. While the amenities are bare bones - the views on the lake are worth it!

Steps to the beach and it feels like you’re in a whole new world along Lake Superior. Very large campsites in full shade. Clean vault toilets that are well maintained. This was a gem of a campground.

Our campsite was on the side near the road which was busy, loud, and consistently annoying. No campground host is a concern for me as well.

Very nice campground and beach. Outhouses were clean and didn't even smell! The only negative was being swarmed by mosquitoes most every day-but it rained enough to get things wet most every day. I'm sure that kept the hatching intense. The fire rings are too tall preventing heat to radiate out if your sitting in a chair. Also you can't see the flames very well if you're sitting and the height makes it difficult to cook over a campfire.

Remote, lovely stretch of Lake Superior beach still close to Sault Ste Marie. Rustic, small sites are perfect for small camper or tent camping. Decent vault toilets. Still weather brings intense mosquitoes and flies - bring repellent. Lake is amazing.

4th time we have camped here. I'm pretty disappointed with NO, the camp host at this site. I'm not sure what has happened. I was told it's under a new grounds manager. Not very good!

Location is terrific! $24 per night though is way too much to charge for campground with no modern options. All you get is spot to camp and vault toilets.
