Bay View (Hiawatha National Forest, MI)

For a relaxing visit along Whitefish Bay, nothing is better than a lakeside campsite at Bay View Campground.

The camp hosts kept the bathrooms and campground very clean. Sites are spread out and it feels very private. Good location for day trips to Tahquamenon Falls and to the Soo Locks.

This has become our "go to" campground. Large, well spaced sites, clean restrooms, hand pumps, and close to several top rated trails. Have to give mention of the Camp Hosts who assisted us in moving our site to higher ground after receiving 2" of rain during our first night (in a tent). We were able to re-locate, enabling us to enjoy the rest of our week, staying dry during a second day of 1" + rainfall. This park fills it's reservations early in the season, however there are several first come sites, most of them on the lake shore. Awesome Forest Campground! Quiet and less populated than our State Parks.

The hosts Val and Ron are THE best! They are welcoming, courteous, efficient and effective at taking care of the campground and guests. They recognize returning and new guests with equal amounts of courtesy and welcome … and what could be better than a rustic spacious campground on the sandy south shore of Lake Superior!

Bay View never disappoints. The parks had trimmed many of the dead branches last summer. The campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. The pit toilets were kept spotless. Spent lots of time watching the waves and night skies. We love early camping because the park is quiet. We will return.

Nice large sites, lots of uninhabited beach to explore with the dogs. Bathrooms immaculate, water sources close and dependable. Fire Wood available, and for September had one cooler night but on the whole weather was great. Enjoyed trails close to the park as well, Fall colors made it even better. Will be going back.

Very clean campground with large sites. Highly recommend this location!

Really like this campground. Very clean, thanks to camp hosts, Ron and Val.

The hosts, Ron and Val, are the best. Great people and hosts. The acorns can be a bit much until there is a good wind. This is our favorite campground in the UP.

Bay View never disappoints.
Lake Superior beach, quiet campground, large sites all so well maintained but still giving campers a true forest outdoor experience.
Only wish thete was some type of prnalty for no shows who dont have the decency to cancel alloeing someone else the experience. Losing their fee doesnt serm to work so maybe not allowed to book a site for awhile might work .Unfortunate its come to this.
