Spot #30 was amazing. It is right next to the trail entrance and a main bathroom so if privacy is what you want maybe pick another spot but the access to the beach was outstanding! Vault toliets and trash cans seemed to be clean many times during my week long stay so that was nice. Will definitely be back.

Peaceful, beautiful, quiet, very clean bathrooms. Look forward to our next time there.

Beautiful, quiet, rustic camping! Love that no generators are allowed. Spectacular hiking along Lake Superior.

@SandraM1586460 · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #28

Very rustic and quiet. No cell or WiFi but beautiful views. Right on the lakeshore trail.

clean spacious campsites

@DougP9829816 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #22

Despite the huge cuts to National Parks, the maintenance crews continued to keep the vault toilets and garbage clean and orderly. It is such a special and beautiful place, we love it.Our one complaint is with the reservation system. On line it will show no available sites available and then as many as 1/3 of the sites will actually be occupied. People are reserving and then not showing up for their stay. They are apparently paying the fees and just not showing up. This punishes anyone else who wants to camp here. There should be some kind of way to open these sites when they are not used.

Clean facilities and a gorgeous view. I just wish I was able to stay longer.

@EileenL8736404 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #14

Beautiful location. Awesome hiking on the north country trail which runs right through the campground along the lake.

@LoriM2853870 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #20

Quiet and beautiful here

@JeffreyH206902 · Camped on Oct 5, 2024 at Campsite #32

Great campsite within about 100 ft of the lake. Id note proximity to the bathroom, as I thought that could be a good thing if needing to get up at night or early, however the wind happened to be blowing from it directly in our direction. Not a great outdoor experience if youve got a tent! In general, the campsites are slightly closer together, which is generally the way things are at sites in the park there (I camped once at Hurricane River also, similar experience). Note that the sites which are directly on the lake have a view, this one does not, but its also sheltered if you happen to have a storm or windy day - and the lake can get pretty windy and turbulent.

Campground is very nice. Very clean. Water and bathrooms also top notch. Would love to stay here again if I ever travel back to Michigan.

@KimC2311597 · Camped on Sep 29, 2024 at Campsite #25

Amazing location. Friendly and helpful hosts. Beach was breathtaking. Clean campgrounds

@KevinDA18BF089 · Camped on Sep 25, 2024 at Campsite #29

Absolutely fantastic campground! We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and played on the beach. It was perfect for my family.

@LisaH3162185 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #27

Pristine park with peace and quiet; very clean vault toilets as well.

@RobertT9956944 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #37

We camped at a site that was downwind of the pit toilets which was unpleasant. Other than that the campground was great. It was windy so we were not able to go into the water but walking along the beach and watching the sunset was glorious.

@DougS2680285 · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #29

Super beautiful sites on the lake. Very quiet. The facilities have been updated since we were there several years ago. Nice, clean, restrooms. Highly recommend a visit.

@VikkiBAF4CB45B · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #24

Very remote campsite with no cell service, which is what I was looking for. Beautiful views of Lake Superior. The campsite had ample space between us and both neighbors. Roadways were maintained and the site driveway was nice and wide. If you want firewood, it needs to be purchased offsite, as none is for sale at the campground.

@AprilH3933277 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #12

The campground was well maintained and the view was amazing. The campground host was informative and friendly.

@RosemaryTA2A26 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #8

Amazingly beautiful. Lots of tent campers.

@GeorgeC007DA80 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #12

Very clean campground, right on the shores of Lake Superior. Sandy beaches, steps down to the beach to prevent slides, falls from the steep sandy cliffs made it even nicer. Convenient bathrooms, be aware of no running water or showers. . .

@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024 at Campsite #12

Great camp spot!!

@EDG1400693 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #24

Best camp ground in picture rocks

@AndrewR3887527 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #33

An excellent campground. I was wary of the vault toilets going in but they were kept clean. And being this close to the lake more than made up for any lacking amenities. The sites were large and while I couldn't see the lake from mine, falling asleep to the waves led to some of the best nights of sleep I've ever had.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
