Michigan UP Campgrounds

Looking for recommendations for good campgrounds on the Upper Peninsula.

  • Woodland Park Campground in Grand Marais is excellent. We camped there last summer and enjoyed the park and the small village of Grand Marais. Be sure to visit the Lake Superior Brewery. The beach was great and the water very clear. You can find agates on the beach and in the water. If you go into the water be sure to have a swim mask so you can find some beautiful rocks.

    Ontonagon Township Park was a nice little park just north of the Porcupine Mtns. State Park. I like it much better than the state park campground, but be sure to visit the state park for sightseeing and hiking.

    We also liked Brimley State Park about 15-20 miles west of Sault Ste Marie. There is a campground at the casino too. See the clicky below for reports on both.

    Michigamme Shores campground on the shores of Lake Michigamme, about 40 miles west of Marquette, is a FHU campground. There's a state park nearby if you would prefer that, but the private CG is well rated. I haven't camped there, but have checked it out and would definitely stay here if in that area of the U.P.

  • What area of the U.P.? The U.P. is almost 400 miles long E to W and over 200 miles wide N to S and is very different from one end to the other. State Parks? Private Parks? Forest CGs? What hookups are desired or needed or must have. There are hundreds of CG's in the U.P. Need info before some can be suggested.
