This park offers peace and quiet, serenity and unmatched sunsets over Lake Superior. It's large and very peaceful. There is not much to do except hike, bike ride and enjoy the beach and lake. For us, this campground had everything we like about camping. Negative things were no sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. Also, they have no dumpsters so you must take out any trash you bring in yourself. The site we had was right on the lake, site # 78, very large and open. There is a campfire area and picnic table at each site. The roads are paved and its very neat and well kept up. We had a nice stay at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Expensive even without including the required motor vehicle permits ($58 total for MH and car yearly passes otherwise it's $8 per day for the MH and $6 per park for the toad) and they don't have water at the sites but once you get over that the park isn't bad if you get the right site. We had site #24 which was pretty level, shaded and big enough for our 30 ft class A but had no privacy whatever. Our area of the campground was really crowded the weekend we were there but thankfully not too noisy. The larger sites with some greenery between for privacy are about 48 through 71. They are quite a distance from the showers but pit toilets are nearby. Bath/shower house had private individual showers and one in with the restrooms seemed OK but we did not use them. Dump is easy to access and has fresh potable water that you can reach while dumping your tanks. The drive to Copper Harbor through Calumet, Eagle River and Eagle Harbor was worth doing. Ft. Wilkins State Park and the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse exhibits were interesting as well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a wonderful park. The restrooms were cleaned everyday at 10:30am and 3pm. The staff comes within an hour of a camper leaving and makes sure the sites and fire rings are cleaned and raked. Lake Superior has the best sunsets I have ever seen. Swimming can be done at the campground (stairs to the beach) or at the day use area. The site we had (#15) was quite large and across from the bathrooms. Even though we were on the second road we had great views of the lake with no campers obstructing our view. I highly reccomend this park. Our site was not that private but there are many that are but they are smaller. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a beautiful member of the Michigan State Park system. Most of the sites are paved and level, and most are shaded. The best sites are located steps away from Lake Superior with some of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen. The waterfront has benches angled to the direction of the sunset for optimal viewing. Swimming is available near the outlet of the Portage River, but very cold! The only complaint is one bathroom building supplying the whole campground. The sites are private and well maintained. This park is an absolute joy and one we travel back to again and again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice little park with some sites on the water. We had site 52, a large gravel site which is on the water and we considered the best view in the campground. The park is a good location for day trips to Calumet, Copper Harbor, etc. Many sites are shaded and appear to be adequately. Cable TV was very good! sized. We would stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
