A very nice state park. We stayed in the Upper Falls camping area and used this for a base camp to explore Mackinac Is., Fort Michillimakinac, Sault St. Marie, and a few other spots. Also explored the park a bit. Saw the falls. Easy access. Trails paved except for 2 sets of stairs to view the larger upper falls from below. One set of 94 and the other was 114, I think. Had a micro brewery restaurant in the park. Great beer batter fried Whitefish. Campgrounds were clean but some folks were complaining about the lack of hot water in the showers. We used them but didn't have that problem. Reasonably clean. After Prophets Town, IN and Little Bay de Noc, MI, the campsites weren't all that private but it was still nice. Another place I'd go back to. Make your reservations early. This place fills up fast. $21/ Night + $8/ day entrance fee We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

There are two different campgrounds in this very large state park. They are 17 miles apart so be sure you pick the best one for your needs. The lower falls campground is very near the falls and between Newberry and Paradise. The other campground is Rivermouth and about 6 miles south of Paradise. The only thing that keeps this campground from being a 10 is not having full hook ups and also bitting flies that come out in the afternoon. There is so much to do in the park and area that you could stay for a week and still not do it all. Also something different about the upperfalls is they have a grill/pub right near the trail to go to the falls. This is a fantastic break from always packing a picnic lunch for all our state park visits. They also have a great little ice cream stand and a large but cozy seating area that includes rocking chairs near an old fire place where you can sit and rock in the shade after your day of visiting the falls. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There are actually three different campgrounds to this park. The river mouth unit and the main park. We stayed at the main park where there are two separate campgrounds. The bathrooms were all upgraded in 2002 as were the newly black topped roads. The sites range from small (tents) to large for motor homes. A beautiful park it is right on the Tahquamenon River. The lower falls are walking distance from the campground. The upper falls are four miles which you can drive to or hike on the trails. The lower falls are a series of cascading falls that surround an island. You can take a rowboat rented from the park concessions and row to the island. Here you can play in the lower falls. The upper falls are one of the largest east of the Mississippi and are 200ft wide and have a 50 foot drop. The park itself has more than 40,000 acres and is mostly wilderness. The campgrounds are well kept. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are some attractions in the area. Whitefish Point Lighthouse with a museum. This museum holds artifacts from the Edmund Fitzgerald plus many others. Point Iraquoix Lighthouse, which you can climb the light tower. Soo Locks, and Pictures Rocks national seashore are about an hours drive away. I highly recommend this park, if anything for the beauty. Make reservations as early as possible. This is one of Michigans most popular parks. For pictures of the falls, you can go to my web-shot pictures page at: http://community.webshots.com/user/starcraft_dad We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
