Thanks for all this great info! Woodlands Municipal is a no reservations park--which always make my wife nervous. We would be going in July at some point after the fourth--not during. Anyone ever have trouble getting a site there before?
It's called Woodland Park campground in Grand Marais, MI. We went there 2 years ago in the middle of July. I was also concerned about getting a site so we went from Gaylord (about 55 miles south of the bridge) and got there around noon. Nobody in the office, just a sign that said to pick out a site and come back when they returned. There were plenty of sites. We got there on a Wednesday or Thursday so there were lots of site available. The weekend had more people come in, but there were still sites available. Some of the sites were a bit uneven and some on the small side, but we had no problem finding a spot for our 5th wheel. The eastern end of the park had campers that appeared to be there for a longer stay, thus getting some nice sites. Our site was at the western end, site #64. BTW, they have cable TV.
Grand Marais is at the end of M-77 north of Seney. There isn't much through traffic in that area like there is in other towns located along the main route of the U.P. Munising, just west of Grand Marais, is more of a tourist town catering to folks wanting to visit Pictured Rocks and Sault Ste Marie has tourists to visit the Soo Locks. Grand Marais has Lake Superior Brewing Company, a nice harbor, and a very nice beach made for rock hounds due to the large number of agates found in the area. The water can be a bit cool, but it's crystal clear.
