Lovely park on the lake in Houghton-beautiful view of the boats. All sites are concrete pads and have a bench, table, barbecue, and shaded area. Very little grass, but park is right next door! Camp hosts pleasant and helpful. Easy access to tourist attractions, shopping and downtown (although streets are torn up for repair right now). Would camp here again-but make your reservations early--they fill up fast! We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a sweet little Park. I'm not going to restate what earlier campers have stated. It's all true. Let me update a couple items. Reservations are accepted. When May 1 rolls around (and after) they will take reservations for any part of their season, May 1 thru Oct 7. Second, there is no bathhouse, so you can't rate it. Also, they do allow pets. Access to the park is easy once you get through Houghton and past the bridge interchange. You've got to get across traffic to the center or right lane as the traffic bears down on you coming from across the lift bridge. Once through and up the little turn the Park turnoff is 1/4 mile up on the right. If I knew how to add a couple pictures to my review I would. Suffice it to say, this is a very nice park in a very nice region of our country. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the park, we had site 18 right on the Portage River. Beautiful view. Full hook ups to include cable. They now take reservations. Park is small so it is always filled. Not much space between sites but your covered picnic table and bench on the river is where you usually spend your time. The fire pits are very close to the trailer, in fact the one next to us was probably only 6 feet from our back corner of the trailer, we would have had to close all our windows if our neighbors decided to have a fire (fortunately they did not). They have a WIFI router at the host station at the park entry, you can sit at their desk or outside on a table to send email. Friendly and helpful staff, and will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

This park is located at the end of the Portage Lake city park & beach. All sites are paved, each with a covered patio with picnic table, bench & fire ring. The office has a complimentary phone line for checking Email, as well as a town library with internet access within easy walking distance. There is a free boat launch & dock (Portage Lake opens into Lake Superior and the fishing is reportedly very good). There are excellent campground hosts. They helped us with deliveries of replacement parts, as well as supplying an excellent welcome packet. The park is well situated to explore the copper mines of the Keeweenaw, as well as Lake Superior.The park is open May-Oct. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
