If this campground had sewer hookups I would have given it a 10. Excellent shower and bathroom facilities. Great view of St Marys river and all of the big boat activity. Close to Soo Locks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We love this park. Showers & toilets are new & kept spotless. River front sites are very popular & great for watching the freighters. Close to downtown with shopping, dinning and the Soo Locks. We found the people running the park friendly. Reservations are a good idea. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very spacious park. The WiFi works well. Our site was well away from the river but we could still see the passing boats. The river sites are wonderful. I drove through the Soo Locks RV Park and found it to be rather crowded. I will stay at Aune Osborne again and try to reserve a riverfront site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Superb views when you have waterfront site on St. Mary's River. Great for watching Ore Boats. New system of allowing reservations is a great improvement over old system of wait for opening. WIFI has been added. Was real dry and dusty. City needs to put money back into campground with landscaping and trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This city-owned park has been upgraded, with a new central bathhouse, new reservation system, and free WiFi throughout the park. Word is that the operating contract has been awarded to the owner of the crowded nearby Soo Locks Campground -- it will be interesting to see what that means. Waterfront sites are well worth the premium $27 per night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Private park (might be city or county owned)open from May 15 to October 15. Very large
sites with view of St. Mary River and Soo Locks ship traffic from many of them. Bathrooms old but clean, 2 dump stations. Will definitely return. Lots of
history and sight seeng in area We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a city operated campground with very large sites that are located on the St. Marys river. Although it is not a plush facility, the views of the boats on the river are outstanding. It is very easily accessible and is, in our opinion, the best facility in Sault Ste Marie. You will hear boat whistles if there is fog. This is an area where the temperature will drop very quickly at any time of the year. There is minimal activity for children. The locks boat trip is nearby. The Corp of Engineers viewing area and downtown are approximately 3 miles. We try to visit this facility every year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
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.
Our preferred park in "the Soo"--close enough to I-75 to be convenient to shopping and attractions, far enough away to be quiet. All sites are pull-thru and roomy. Very friendly owners are on site and on top of everything. Recommended. 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 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.
I've been going to this park for several years. Unfortunatley, the owner keeps raising the rates, but, has not made any infrastruction inprovements. During this visit, most of the time, electrical voltage was under 100v. The electrical boxes would be so hot they would burn your hands to the touch. Many campers were running generators. When this matter was disscussed with the owner (also in past years), the owner just says there is no problem. THERE IS! The only thing the CG has going for it is the view. Many campers are indicating they are not going back there because of the low voltage. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is not "Big Rig Friendly". It has water and electric only. The electricity is not good either. We will not return to this park because of the electric problems. The view of the St. Mary's River was why we stayed there in the first place and the only good thing about the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great View, right on the St. Marys River! Side by side hookups, up in or
backin! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were very happy with this park. Arrived about 30 minutes after closing time and found
myself greeted by the owner who helped my find my site. Our site was a pull through and actually quite roomy for our 34' motorhome. In one section of the park, the sites are quite small and it's nearly like an asphalt parking lot. They seemed perfectly functional though. The facility was very nicely kept and the staff friendly. It's a very nice setting where you can sit on the waterfront and watch the freighters. I called the Aune-Osborn RV Park first, but they don't take reservations and wasn't willing to risk it on a mid-summer weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Reserved a site with view arrived and said that they had no record of view site wanted. Very tight for big rigs. Said they had strong 30 amp no fluctuations. everyone complaining low voltage and running everything on gas, and still tripping brakers with fans. Have to use power cord extension,(electrical connection on patio side and behind next site, four sites per power post, Staff not friendly. Would not ever return. Use Aune-Osborn Campground or city campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Well maintained and clean park. Sites are small and cramped, especially for big rigs. Excellent view of river where you can watch freighters and other boats. Soo Locks are nearby. We camped here in a camper.
