There are 3 state park campgrounds in Tahquamenon Falls State Park. All have electric and are very nice. 2 at the lower falls (Portage CG - our favorite and about 1 block walking distance from the viewing area for the lower falls). We have been there every year for the last 57 years. About 370 miles north of our lower peninsula home. Also is Hemlock CG at the lower falls - up the hill about 1/4 mile or so behind the lower falls entrance check in building. The 3rd is the river mouth CG between the Tahquamenon River and where it goes into Lake Superior.
The entire upper peninsula only has 311,000 population or 3% of Michigan's population and it's beautiful. The U.P. is big - 384 miles E to W and about 160 miles N to S. Thousands of lakes and very forested. Michigan has over 11,000 inland lakes (not even including 4 of the 5 huge Great Lakes that border Michigan. There's no place in the state that you can be more than 6 miles from a shore. 87,000 miles of rivers in the state too. Fresh potable water everywhere! So much wildlife everywhere in the U.P. and the L.P. Thousands of various CG's in the state so always one nearby.
