Located approximately 28 miles northwest of Newberry on Luce County Rd 407. Take M-123 north out of Newberry for 4 miles, turn west on Country Rd 407 and go 24 miles to the park entrance.
Our favorite campground in Michigan. We love the 3rd loop where it's more spacious and secluded. Bathrooms are always clean. Wifi isn't the best but that's not an issue for us. Love that Lake Superior is just across the street.
Review for the campsite (we had tents not an RV).
The campsites on site 2 are big enough for 2-3 mid-sized tents. There is water on the site, very clean toilets and showers. Personnel I didn't interact with much, but we needed to check in close to 11PM and they had no issues with it. The camp was also super quiet, after 9PM you could barely hear anyone.
One thing that sucked was the road closure to the west - we had to take a detour to get to Picture Rock so it took almost two hours to get there. Of course not the camp's fault though.
Recommend that if you can avoid the campsites next to the the toilets to avoid foot traffic.
We came for a hike, first time here. If you are looking for camping, this is a great place! However, if you are coming for hiking, you have to venture quite a ways from the park to get away from infrastructure, noise, and debris. The park is uniquely situated between Muskallonge lake and Lake Superior, it is a beautiful area. The park also is amidst the North Country National Scenic Trail, the hiking route of the Iron Belle Trail, and the Lake Superior East Water Trail. So plenty of good hiking, just not the loop around the campground.
We had a lovely time - this stop was beautiful. We enjoyed looking for rocks just for fun. There’s plenty of parking and it’s a great area for a nice walk.
We enjoyed the beach as well. The sunset was gorgeous! Glad we stopped.
