“rustic state forest campground”

The most sought-after rustic campground in the Upper Peninsula overlooks Lake Superior with the North Country Trail going right through it. Of all the rustic state forest campgrounds, this is one of the most beautiful and popular. It's right by a long agate beach that's not overused, made of rocks and sand. The campground is perched up from the beach, separated by low dunes forested with oak and pine. They help shield the campsites from a wind off the lake that can be very, very cold indeed. Campers can walk directly from most of the 18 shady campsites to the beach. Sites are big enough for small trailers. It's relaxing just to sit here and listen to the waves. The campground is on the North Country Trail segment that forms a 7.6-mile loop with the Blind Sucker Pathway. Road noise can be heard from nearby H-58. To get a site, it's best to come midweek or even earlier.

This is a Hidden Gem on the shores of Lake Superior. This can handle Class A's and 5th wheels that are 40'. Every site has its own trail to lake superior. Very clean, Hand water pump, vault toilets, and trash removal. This is truly one of the best in Michigan.

Nice little state forest campground right on the shores of Lake Superior. Each site backs up to the beach with only a 50yd walk to the water. The only problem is how surprisingly busy the road is that parallels the campground. County 58 takes a lot of traffic for such a remote dirt road, and it is several feet above the campground which makes for a noisy stay for such a remote location. Maybe it was just because it was a Friday night but I was expecting a much more remote and quietly secluded spot.

Stayed 5/2-5/6 2024. Site #15
Typical SF Campground with hand pump water and vault toilets (recently new toilets)
It was quiet and just what we wanted it to be. $20/night, we have ATT and service was pretty much nonexistent but that was okay with us, might be important for someone else.
