This campground was a pleasant surprise: located right on the St. Mary's River, just east of the the "Soo Locks", with enormous freighters steaming right in front of the campground in both directions. When one checked in, you were given an informational sheet that showed the identifying profiles of each type of ship, their length, tonnage, and an explanation as to what each carried. The campground was clean and well-cared for. We would definitely stay there again. Coming from the south there is a "short-cut", eliminating the need to go through the middle of town, but if coming from Ontario, you must cross the international bridge and go right on the main business street to get to the campground, which is just 2-3 miles east of downtown. That said, there are no sharp turns necessary for big rigs. Our 36' motorhome pulling a car had no difficulties. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park, right on the river. Great views of the passing ships. Very few 50 amp spots. The only negative to this park is the lousy wireless internet. Constantly up and down and not designed to handle 100 campers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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 is our fifth time vacationing at this campground. The service/shower/bathroom build is two years old and kept very clean. The employees are friendly as are most of the campers. Many of the campers are regulars there. The sites are well marked and very level. I only marked it down a notch due to the lack of shade trees. The view of the river is fantastic and so interesting watching the laker ships passing by. Close to the Soo Locks and area attractions. New power hook ups and 50 amp service at some sites. Owned by the city so well cared for. Sites are good sized also. Again, this would be a 10 except lack of shade trees, but that's only in my opinion. GREAT PARK. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We loved this campground. We traveled with three other big rigs. The sites were not crowded. Two of us were riverside, the other two still had great views. We watched U.S. and Canadian ships go by as well as the local boat ramp traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the activity and the very friendly people. The only reason I gave this a 9 and not a 10 is because there was no sewer and we did not have 50amp, although some sites did; I would not let this deter me of staying here again, I did not want to leave this time and would look forward to coming here again. We stayed 4 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park right on the St. Mary's river with views of the passing ships. Paved roads, grass sites. Wifi worked well. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park right on the St. Mary's River. Many sites have view of river and one can watch the ore boats go by. I thought the boats would be noisy at night, but I never heard them. Very convenient to town; many attractions, including the Soo locks are within 1-3 miles, convenient for biking. Wi-Fi available: my site was quite far the office and I had 3 of 5 bars (Wi-Fi signal strength). Staff very nice and helpful. Restrooms and shower have very nice tile, require code to gain access, and are very clean. I will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.

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 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.

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.
