The UP is an absolute favorite place for us to camp. We have visited many attractions in the UP such as Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, Lake Superior, Kitch-iti-kipi, etc... I am looking for more suggestions. Where have you been and what was your favorite part? What is the best campground in the UP? We would need the campground to accommodate a 30 foot travel trailer. Thank you!

We only stayed at Auen-Osborn and loved it and the Soo Locks. We loved watching those big freighters cruise by.

It has been several years, but our favorite was Otter Lake campground near Munising. We found county maps that showed waterfalls and did day trips visiting many of them. We also visited many of the small towns to see what was there. Sometimes nothing, but we at least bought an ice cream, stopped for a cup of coffee somewhere in the town. Just meandering.

Copper Harbor and the NP copper site are cool too.X2+++ on Aunne-Osborne! and the locks boat tour. Burgers at the bar with the antlers...maybe Antlers Bar?? at Soo.

Have you been to Woodland Park in Grand Marais? Or the Ontonagon municipal park? Both of those CGs are on the big lake and (I think) should have sites that fit.I like Bond Falls and the Porkies (nice hike along the river at the west unit).
