The Rivermouth Modern Campground is wooded and features two loops with a variety of sites, including some accessible, paved and pull-though sites. Campers enjoy walking along the river among blueberries and wildflowers underneath massive red pines. Bicycling is a popular way to travel around the campground, to the playground and to the accessible fishing platform in the adjacent Rivermouth Pines Campground. There is a 30-amp service available on each site, with some 50-amp sites available. There is a nearby boat launch, and kayaks are available to rent, first come, first served, from the Rivermouth Campground office. A sanitation station and recycling are available.
This campground is located 5 miles south of Paradise.
(72) $28 (20/30 amp), $32 (50 amp) or $20/$24 off-season
Several years ago, I made a reservation for a solo road trip I was taking to the UP. I thought I was staying at the actual Falls park, so I was shocked when they told me my campground was 15 miles away. Doesn't matter because when I found my reserved spot, it was breathtaking. Along the banks Tahquamenon River, near where the river flows into Lake Superior, this is beautiful. Matter of fact we have been going as a group now for 2 years.
Lastly, bring your kayak to drop in, rockhounding gear and a camera!
The scenery is beautiful in early October with all of the trees changing color. The campground was amazing and the bathrooms were nice and warm. Slept in a tent in 50 degree weather and part of the tent had a hole in it. Woke up with our feet drenched in water! Had a wonderful time getting the water out and slept in it the next night too. Made a nice fire and cooked some hotdogs on it. They were delicious. It rained almost the whole time we were there, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the wonderful area. If you like camping, I would definitely recommend coming here: make sure to visit the waterfall!
Went here October 11-15 and absolutely loved it! Was at site 121 in the Rivermouth Pines rustic side. I was right by the vaulted toilet so that made things easy and the drive or walk to the modern side wasn’t bad. Everything was clean and felt safe. The modern bathrooms had handicap accessible showers which I thought was nice. The showers are private which I also like. I never ran out of hot water either and the bathrooms were always clean. Loved that the staff drove through often checking on things and cleaning the bathrooms. The view of the river is amazing. And there are many spots to enjoy the view! Will definitely come again.
