We came to Sault Ste. Marie specifically to see the ships, and we were not disappointed. Although we were not able to get a waterfront site, the visibility from other sites was excellent. When reserving, you get a specific site, and the staff gave us a site with good visibility. The sites are reasonably spacious and level, grassed with gravel under the rig. There is no shade, but the rate includes all the electricity you might need for AC. No site is sewered; there are two dump stations for camper use. The campground is municipally owned and operated by a contractor. WiFi worked very well for us, with occasional delays. Adjacent to the campground are two boat launch sites and a recreation park. Although there are no obvious seasonal sites, some of the campers appear to come here regularly. Everyone was very friendly, both the campers and the staff. There is a nice path right along the river with park benches for watching the activity and chatting with other folks. It is only 3 miles to the Soo Locks where one can watch the big ships locking through; not to be missed. We stayed here three nights, logged some two dozen boats and ships, and would definitely stay here again when in the area. We rated the park a 9 instead of 10 due to the lack of sewers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The reasons I didn't rate this campground higher are the lack of grass [it's pretty barren], no sewer and very slow wifi. The waterfront sites are great for watching the river traffic [we had one.] TV reception is sparse unless you want to set up a dish. Sites are level and easy to maneuver in and out of. We had a 50 amp site but are 30 amp. The guy in the office loaned me an adapter. Good service. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camped here over Memorial Day weekend. The View of the Ships passing the campground was tremendous. Not more than 100 yards from our site. Wi-Fi was available but extremely slow. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has closed. The land is reportedly being developed as the new site of a WalMart SuperCenter. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice campground for a home base to see the area. Owners are very nice. They also provide a pet walking service, too. Had a nice time there. Should note that they are in the process of trying to sell the campground, and if they do, the above statements, might not apply. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground, but not much to do for the kids. The owners were very nice and helpful with great coupons for events and activitys around the locks! Owners are working to upgrade the campgrounds! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This a great place to stop for the night. Park access is easy but some fairly tight turns for big rigs to get there, try to avoid the rush hour traffic. Pull into the far south drive of the 'Child Daycare Center' just south of the casino. Park fee is $15 but if you go to the casino and get the free 'Players Club' card you get 2 nights free camping and $5 worth of tokens if you're foolish enough to go gambling. Guests at the park can use the pool and spa in the casino. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was the best my family has came across in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. It had a beautiful view and was very clean. I would recommend this campground to "big rigs" and tenters. Although I have read reviews on the electric fluctuating periodically, it wasn't really much of a concern when there were so many other things to appreciate. I am happy to say that even though I am just a beginner to the camping world, I know that every summer I will make an effort to return to the Soo Locks Campground. I was very pleased to know that this year they established a web page that can be visited at: www.soolockscampground.com We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were hoping that the owner had fixed the electricity grid since the last reviews on here two years ago. No such luck. We stayed here because of the great water view. We wanted to stay a week but left after one day because the electricity was so bad. It fluctuated between high and way low. We were afraid to turn on anything in the RV for fear it would be ruined. Stay here at your own risk. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is an old campground without 50A or sewer. Wi-Fi has been added this year. On the positive side, it has a great view of the lake freighters on the St. Mary's River. There is a lot to do in the Soo area of Michigan/Ontario. The campground is clean as are the rest rooms. I feel the positives out way the negatives. Some areas have better electric service than others. You just have to decide what is more important to you. The river side sites seem to have the poorer electric service. We're up in the upper area and don't have an electric problem, but, it has been cool, so demand is down. We camped here in a Motorhome.
