Bay View (Hiawatha National Forest, Mi)

One of my favorite places to camp. Get a beach side site and you'll have the most beautiful sunsets with soft beaches.

If you like quiet, remote wooded camping on a sand dune overlooking miles of sand beaches, this might be for you. No electric or water nor dump, just pristine wilderness, deserted beaches parked on sand between trees.

This is my kinda place, first come first served.

Only stayed one night, but will b back for extented stay! Great primitive sites. Fire ring is separated from tents, half the sites are right on Lake Superior with individual beach access. What a gem!

We arrived just before sunset on a Wednesday in late August after crossing the border, and were pleasantly surprised to find one available campsite, for one night only, at this small and tidy campground right on Lake Superior.

Our site was immaculate - no trash, no dog poo - and had a private, short trail that opened up to white sand and clear waters. We went straight to the beach before leveling - needed two blocks under our street side wheels in this site - and caught a gorgeous red and pink sunset over the bay.

Early morning walk with our pups and kiddo on a beach we had all to ourselves, with the exception of a sweet lady and her Corgi, Mollie, despite the campground being full.

Would happily stay here again, as it’s inexpensive and so well kept (the campground hosts even placed tiny solar lights at each campground entrance, which enabled us to read the reservations tacked to the post and find our site number in the dark), but the cleanliness, quiet, views and beach access just can’t be beat. We go to Canada every summer and often cross the UP on our way back west, so this campground is now going to be our go-to after our re-entry to the States.

Bay View has become our favorite park. The camp hosts, Pat and Kathy Fryer, keep the sites immaculate and the vault toilets are cleaned daily. Pat and Kathy went out of the way to make sure we had an enjoyable vacation. The scenery is beautiful with sandy beaches and large sites, many with views and direct access to Lake Superior. The campground is becoming very popular so reservations are recommended. The sites are private with trees between neighboring sites. Our stay was very quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful sunrises and sunsets...wonderful place. Vault toilets, very clean. Remote area, quiet... We will come back to this campground the next time we are in Michigan. Great hosts.

Just can’t beat going to sleep to the sounds of Lake Superior right below your tent.

We’ve driven through this campground in the past and promised ourselves that one day we would stay here. We are not disappointed in this quiet National Forest campground. Great site, right on Lake Superior and if you score a set on the lake side of the campground you have your own private beach. Gracious campground hosts made it a pleasant stay. We will be back.

Fanatic price, fantastic location on Lake Superior. TONS of space between spots. A giant win all around! Will be back. Will stay longer!

Bay View CG is fantastic! We scored a lakeside site midweek in early June. Pit toilets very clean. Hand pump for fresh water so RVers may want to fill up before getting here. Beautiful sandy beach on an inland sea, Lake Superior.
