Our stay at this campsite was everything and more that we had wanted out of this trip to the UP! The quick and easy access to the beach meant that beautiful sunset and sunrise views were both at our fingertips. The beach itself is well-maintained and the tolerable and borderline-warm water temperature provided endless opportunity for us and our dogs to swim. The campsite is situated closely to the pump for potable water and even closer to a well-maintained bathroom. The campsite itself is spacious and provides appreciable privacy when the trees are full in the summer months. It’s a feasible drive to Tahquamenon Falls, which on a sunny day, proved to be a spectacular hike during our stay in the area. We are looking forward to returning to this campsite in the future!

We had a very private and wooded site but it was a bit unlevel. Loved walking the Lake Superior beach in the morning and evening.
