Always a great place to stay; new hosts were great (last year's were great too). Lots of places to go within driving distance, Sault St. Marie, casinos, Taquemenon Falls and just driving the back roads looking at color.

It was our first tine ever here at Bay Biew and I can tell you this, it will NOT be four last. What an incredible experience for our Family. We drove into Newberry to have breakfast at Zeller’s & they make and sell this Cinnamon Roll that is called the “Beast” and it is exactly that, a “Beast” & it is an Awesome Cinnamon Toll. It’s the size of half of a THICK CAKE! Go check them out sometime. Also went to Train Museum right in Brimley. You want to know the History on Brimley, the museum tells it pretty much.

We have been campers at Bayview for years and were surprised at how many more people have found out about our little hideaway.
Staff were VERY welcoming and helpful. One must-see local spot is Lothrop and Sons Fish House. The whitefish is the FRESHEST in the entire U.P. unless you catch it yourself. They have eat-in or take out options but no frills - we like it that way.
If the Dancing Crane decides to open its doors, we recommend it for the best coffee and ice cream!

The best campground that we stay at in all our trips. The lot was very large and clean. There was lots of bush between site for privacy. Host persons were very friendly and help full. Washrooms were very clean and smelled nice. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.
