The bathroom is an interesting setup because there's only one shower and it's in the bathroom. So the bathroom is almost always humid and it does create an environment for mold growth. But no bugs in the shower. You take your wins when you can with campground bathrooms. The drain was very slow and it backed up majorly when I was in the shower. Bring shower shoes. If you're tenting keep in mind they have very bright street lights to light up the campground at night.

It's okay. We've…read morebeen here before, a few years back. Had I known we were returning, I would have made another choice. My wife made this reservation. The good: - It's in town, so it's not far from shopping and sights - Some sites are paved The not so goo: - Expensive IMO - $55 per night for a back-in FHU site - Many sites have trees right at the corner of of the pad at the street, which can make it VERY hard to get into your site Sites under the tree canopy, while shady, bear little grass, so it's mostly sandy dirt and not fun in the rain If I needed to stay in/near Marquette and couldn't find a better camping choice, I would come back.

There are no trees around the trailer spots, but the surrounding area is beautiful forest. There are fire pits and picnic tables. We needed a part and had Amazon ship it to the office, and we were able to pick it up at 9 PM. There are 4 clean showers and a nice bathroom. The only recommendation I would give is to add a chair or seat in each shower. The entire campground is very well maintained.

This is a really high rating but the park was perfect for us…read more It's new and has gravel roads, no trees, but electric and water and sewer campsites. It's spacious and most sites are pull through. There are some tent sites back in the woods and along the river, very rural and pretty out there. There is no pool, playground or fenced in pet walk. What I really liked the most was the proximity to local bicycle trails located just off the park, making it easy to ride to Marquette and even Presque island. The Northern Michigan University public golf club is just outside the park. If conditions are right you have an unobstructed view of the Aurora borealis. I've seen many prettier parks but this was just right for our needs. Even though we had some rain the gravel sites didn't get muddy, big plus when traveling with dogs. Enjoy the amazing area, hike, bike, eat and enjoy nature... this park is a great place to set up and then go do the stuff you came here to do.

The most disappointing thing was the blaring music till 2 am each night. The rules state quiet time starts at 10 pm, but no one enforces it. And a few don't feel they need to follow them. We won't be back.

All of the fishing supplies you could need, boat rentals, and gear - though we really didn't need anything, we just wanted to hang around and explore.

He also does tours, and although I'm not big on organized tours, he is just the kind of person that I would like as a guide - maybe next trip.

We had been referred to Big Bay Outfitters to rent a fishing boat. We were welcomed by both Bill and Kristi with exceptional kindness and hospitality. We rented a fishing boat and Bill promptly delivered it to the dock at the arranged time and had it picked up expediently . They were both very knowledgeable about the area from the lakes, waterfalls, fishing tips and gear, roads and trails, etc. They offer a plethora of supplies in their shop in case you need anything. We highly recommend Big Bay Outfitters and plan to be back again!

In a whim, we decided to stay one night here to tour the historical landmark town. So glad we did…read more We got a site, #18, in a Thursday night, by making a request on the website. We have had luck with all the parks finding openings within a week or two of our travel (thought we tend to travel during the weekdays in the summer) The historical iron smelting village is fascinating. The state has done a wonderful job preserving the various community buildings, the iron smelting factory and some of the homes in the community. It is truly a loving, outdoor museum. Great information on signs and plaques throughout. We visited about two-hours before sunset on a Thursday evening. We rode to the historical village and were able to ride our back to the campground , after sunset. The village is bikable which is a great if mobility is an issue. There's a lot to see and it's spread out. Excellent photo ops around sunset. The sun sets behind the community area and the buildings can be nice "props". The sun also reflects off the rocks of the Niagara Escarpment which makes for a pretty photo. We biked the handicap road back to the campground. It's an easy and direct route between the two areas. There are clearings among the trees to get a wonderful, private view of the sunset. The trip is worth it simply to check out the historical community. What a gem in the UP. The campground was fun, yet busy and crowded for our tastes. Site 18 is good for a tent with some fairly flat grassy areas around it. The bro G bird behind and to one side of had RV's and were flexible about letting us spread into their site to find a good place for our tent. Similarly, the neighbors to our right, #20, camped in the bed of their truck. They struggled to find a level space and were concerned about mid with possible space. They parked partially on our site. It all worked out; we had great neighbors, but it was a bit of juggling. The fire rings can also be closer to a tent than we prefer. The washroom was close by and was clean. Small number of shower stalls to share with lots of people. Other sites looked larger and might have offered more privacy. The star of the show is accessibility to Lake Michigan. Wonderful sandy beaches. Lots of good walking, hiking. We would return to have more time to check out the peninsula. We had dinner at a fun restaurant in the water, not far from the campground (10-minutes): The Dock Grill & Bar. Nice people. Beautiful patio view of the water and good "bar food" options. The Shell gas station also has a mini mart with good meat and deli items, some grocery selections and frozen food.

This isn't a State Park made to stay at for any extended period of time but rather a great stopping point for us on our Circle tour of the biggest lake of all the great lakes. We rolled in on a Friday mid-afternoon and couldn't be more pleased with our one night stay. Yes, the highway is nearby and you do hear the traffic but for our visit, it couldn't have been more perfect. We saw the sunset and the moon on full tilt out on Superior. It was truly a welcoming rest on our journey through the North. From Milwaukee, expect about a 5 or so hour drive. From there you have just about reached as far as you can go before you run out of road. Next stop, Copper Harbor. Our favorite amenity about Baraga was the bathrooms. They were absolutely the cleanest facilities we had use of during our 9-day jaunt. The showers were solid and the water was hot. Baraga was a great start for our camping adventures to come! We would stop through this place anytime!
