PRO’s: Many spots have shade throughout the day and some spots are full sun for those who need it for solar. Nice interpretive spot of Bay Furnace and easy access to beach for a refreshing dip in Lake Superior. Spot 9 (reservable) is a very nice site to be next to the water. The campground host is very nice and shows people how to use the first-come-first-serve (FF) sites for those who don’t know, and makes frequent passes in golf cart throughout the day. Firewood is for sale and a wheelbarrow is available for use to transport wood back to your site. Easy access to the dump. A casino with electric hookups is directly across the street if you can’t find an empty site and was never full during our 9-day stay. Campground is very convenient to the activities of Munising: Pictured Rocks tours, hikes to waterfalls, etc.
CON’s: The access road into the campground is full of potholes. Maybe it is purposely kept that way to discourage speeding, so just be aware. A couple of times the “Campground Full” sign was displayed at the entrance even though 2 of the FF sites were open. A couple of lucky campers who disregarded the sign ended up with a spot. Bathrooms were very clean the day we arrived, but they were not cleaned daily and by the time we left we had stopped using them. The trees could stand to be trimmed as they rubbed against our unit while navigating the interior roads to find a site – not an issue for trailers lower in height. Spot 40 (reservable) has the fire-ring and picnic table on the wrong side for a trailer and requires navigating trees – it is good for tent campers. Road noise from M28 is heard during the day/early evening in sites 28-50, don’t know about sites 1-27.
