The camp was okay. Nice location and outstanding park. But the facilities were rough. They had not been cleaned. Could barely stand to go in. Gorgeous park with nice trails!

The campsite was as described and was functional. Unfortunately, the day of the reservation the weather turned very poor and made for a rough visit.

After driving 500 miles, someone had taken my campsite. No host to be found.

Be prepared for up north bugs, plan a accordingly, and you'll be golden.
Clean site, wonderful hosts, so much to see. If you're adventurous and bring your day pack gear the chapel falls-mosquito falls loop is a must.

This was the best campsite I have ever stayed at! Our site had a little trail that went straight down to the water, it was so peaceful and serene. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back already!

It's a gorgeous space right next to the Lake Superior shore, along the North Country Trail. Short walks to a few shipwrecks and the old Au Sable Light Station are a definite plus. Can't recommend it highly enough!

We had an absolutely phenomenal visit to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore & Hurricane River campground! We visited in the last week of October 2020 & were the only campers in the campground the entire week. Sure it is a little cool that time of year, but the calm solitude due to the lack of other visitors more than makes up for the cooler weather! Added bonus; visitation in the late fall means no biting flies, which can easily ruin a trip up here during the summer months. We got to see some amazing fall foliage and beautiful scenic views of the lake. We hiked several of the trails available in both the eastern & western areas of the park & were able to see historic lighthouses, stunning waterfalls, & the amazing Superior lakeshore. The RECREATION.GOV webpage did notify us that all water would be off during our visit due to the cold weather, so we planned ahead for that, however there was no obvious notifications advising visitors that the vault toilets are closed during the winter months, so we were surprised when a work crew came out on our second day and locked them up. If you plan to camp here in the late fall and winter months, be sure to consider the lack of restrooms in your planning. Part of the attraction of Hurricane River is the isolation and solitude, so the complete lack of cellular service in the campground is to be expected and relished. On some of our hikes we did run across pockets of cellular service where our phones jumped to life and inundated us with the backlogged notifications. The trail to the Au Sable Light Station was one area where we noticed the coverage to be especially strong. I would also like to thank both the forward-thinking personnel at RECREATION.GOV & Pictured Rocks for making this campground reservable. We drove 1,600+ miles to get to Hurricane River Campground and would never have made the trip if we didn't have a guaranteed place to camp. There is no place for first come first served camping in the Internet age.
