WAY too many loud, stand-alone generators at any time they pleased. This is a primitive campground. If they need all that, there are campgrounds right down the road with electrical hook-ups. It sounded as if I was camping in a factory yard, with an abundance of exhaust fumes to choke on.

Very nice campground and beach. Outhouses were clean and didn't even smell! The only negative was being swarmed by mosquitoes most every day-but it rained enough to get things wet most every day. I'm sure that kept the hatching intense. The fire rings are too tall preventing heat to radiate out if your sitting in a chair. Also you can't see the flames very well if you're sitting and the height makes it difficult to cook over a campfire.

A great camping experience right on Lake Superior with a forest canopy. The camp hosts offer great hospitality, ensuring every campsite is cleaned and ready for the next camper.

We love Bay View Campground and go there often (as long as we remember to make a reservation six months in advance!).

Ron and Val took over hosting duties a day or two after I got to Bay View. I had met them last year while camping there and they remembered me by name! They are so personable and keep the campground in pristine condition. They take great care of their guests and engage often to see if anything is needed. I camped in Site 17 which is spacious and fairly level for my Class C Winnebago View.

The best campground that we stay at in all our trips. The lot was very large and clean. There was lots of bush between site for privacy. Host persons were very friendly and help full. Washrooms were very clean and smelled nice. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

A real gem on the South shore of Lake Superior. Large campsites and miles of sandy beach.

We have been camping here for about 50 years and the camp grounds are excellent. Quiet, clean and a very friendly atmosphere. The camp hosts are the best ever. There is no better place to camp than on the Lake Superior shoreline.
