Quiet remote campground. Big clean sites. Monocle Lake loop hike to cliff overlook was amazing. Not an easy hike due to elevation and switch backs but the view of monocle lake, Lake Superior and the freighters on a cloudless day was incredible.

The camp hosts are exceptional! Kind, considerate and keep the sites, outhouses and grounds in tip top shape.
My concern is with the incredibly early
closing of the park! Why was the park closed for the season just at the beginning of the autumn color season? So many in Michigan enjoy camping during the color season. It never closed so early in the past. Why???
My 2023 reservation was cancelled without my choice and without much notice. I believe those of us that had reservations should have at least been given a chance to reserve before it was open to the public at large. Very poor planning and no follow through by the Park. Inconsiderate, disruptive and rude.

A very popular place, designed for small campers and small rv's and tent campers. Hard to get a site here but very well run by the campground host.

Bay View was peaceful as always. Camp hosts did a great job keeping the toilets clean and the site was cleaned well upon arrival.

We love coming here every summer. Right on the water which is perfect for a good beach day. Roughly 25-35 minutes from a large city area but also not far from places like the falls. Bathrooms are always spotless, and the campground hosts are extremely welcoming.
