For $24, we got full hookups, cable, covered picnic table, grill, paved level lot and within 100 feet of Portage Lake,. The sites are adequately spaced for a city park. Our site accommodated 40' rig & toad. We were also able to get satellite service and a couple of TV stations w/antenna. No reservations are accepted. Monthly rates are $660, $22 per day. Park closes for the season on October 7. The only disadvantage is that there are no pull-thru sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was small and they do not take reservations. But if you call ahead the day you are coming they can let you know if they will have a spot for you. It was the only campground right in Houghton and closest to Michigan Tech University and downtown. Very quiet, our motorhome backed right up to the water with a little deck for each person, and picnic table and grill. Very friendly and helpful owners. We will stay here again, central location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
