The sites are large and the beach is gorgeous. The sites are clearly marked as to what is open and what is reserved and the bathrooms are super clean. This campground is very well managed and the campground hosts are very friendly!

We love Bay View Campground and go there often (as long as we remember to make a reservation six months in advance!).

Really enjoyed the campground. Ronnie & Val are wonderful hosts. No problem setting up our 35’ fifth wheel in site 3.

The campground was as wonderful for us as ever. And having the hosts back this year after the one-year gap was so welcoming!

The Lake Superior shoreline is of course the first and best part of your visit. Next would be local businesses where fresh Lake Superior White Fish are cooked up after that nights fishing. Enjoy ice cream and fresh brewed coffee nearby as well. And finally other local attractions like a lighthouse will fill your day.

Everything was very well kept, the bathrooms, the site, and the whole campground in general. Val and Ron are very personable and make you feel welcome. We consider this the best campground in the UP which is why we try to come here at least once a year.
