Let's just say I accidentally took an off-road vehicle trail to the campground! I 100% thought I was going to die.. But GOD willing I hauled ass in my Mitsubishi Outlander (4×4 worked great)!! Thanks be to Jesus.. I made it .. Words of advice.. Ask the locals for directions cause Google Maps isn't real helpful in the UP. There is a reason this is called God's Country. The historical fire 10 years ago wiped the landscape canvas and new Jack pines are starting to pop up. Quite enchanting. The campground itself was truly spared and has 36 first come sights. Arrived on a Thursday and 10 were available. The mighty Lake Superior will lull you to sleep at night. The coastline is phenomenal and the sunrise and sunsets are priceless. No cell service - which for me was refreshing. If you truly want a rustic adventure, this campground is perfect!! An annual pass is 17$ in addition to nightly rate (if you don't have one).

Very beautiful and peaceful area, however very remote with poor road conditions. Plan an hour to get to any paved road. Be sure to visit Crisp Point lighthouse it’s a gem but very remote, you can go up into the lighthouse for free. We were traveling in a camper van, I don’t recommend larger rv’s and travel trailers to either of these areas. Roads are mostly dirt and sand.

This was the highlight of our trip to the eastern Portion of the UP. It rained a lot the night before we drove in. There were very large puddles of water on the road. Don’t attempt in rain without 4x4. We arrived at 11am on a Friday and all sites were taken for the weekend except 1. Plan to arrive mid week for a guaranteed spot. Some sites have trails to the beach. There is a suspension bridge for others to access the beach. The beach is gorgeous. We were there early July and every day was breezy and cool. We hiked a trail Through the burned forest near the campground. We find beauty in burned forests. I understand some may not. The campground is amply shaded. Potable water from the well tasted great. Bathrooms were typical pit toilets. It took us about an hour to drive in to where we had cell service.

Probably my favorite campground in the state of Michigan so far. Great, fun drive down winding sandy roads (probably not a good idea to take a car, but you could if you're careful. But why would you own a car anyway when you could own a truck?) I have seen pictures of campers parked here, but you better know the best route before trying it. Beautiful and remote, but still accessible by vehicle. Awesome beach. Fascinating to look at and think about the destruction caused by the forest fire. The pit toilets and the campground were clean (of course the season hadn't started yet). My biggest problem with this campground, is that too many people know about it.

The beach was absolutely beautiful. I gave the campground four stars because there were piles and piles of trash around the dumpsters. Of course, the only available spots were near the dumpsters. I was afraid the trash would attract animals. I took a few videos and pictures of the beach. Watch day 7 of my trip.
