Beautiful quiet out of the way beach. I don’t kayak but wish I did after seeing a couple return at dusk, wish I did.

Fabulous rustic large campsites overlooking Lake Superior. Miles if Sandy beaches and glorious sunsets. Prep of campsites with raking and meticulously clean bathrooms makes this small campground outstanding. Camp hosts were extremely friendly, informative and passionate about their roles. Will definitely return for a longer stay!

Site #18 did not have a way of setting up a tent further back in order to face the opening to the water - important for me. Also, the bathroom was not cleaned as it was in 2019. The host cleaned the bathrooms no less than 3 times aday! Ane the night light that was inside 3 years ago is gone so you better take a lantern in with you, noty just a flaslight.

Sites are large and well separated from neighboring sites by trees. Sites are well shaded so having solar panels as I do on my RV may not help much with energy management as there are no hookups. Park is clean and quiet. Hosts Ronnie and Valerie were very friendly and helpful. Port Iroquois Lighthouse is 7 miles away, and a visit to the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie is less than an hour. This was my 2nd stay at Bay View and I'll be back.

Campsite was clean and ready when we arrived. Camp Hosts were terrific the entire time we were camping. Bathrooms were always clean, even in the rain. We do think some campsites need more boulders to prevent people driving up the small hills destroying what grass or vegetation that is there. This is a great "little" campground.
