Downside is the back row is almost out on the highway and the trucks fly on it, so some road noise to contend with. Quiets down at night, so road noise got better. Sites provude a fire-ring, picnic table and ants. Aggressive ants that we hopefully are keeping at bay with ant spray. Some biting flies too.

This is one of the least visited national parks, and it's not because it isn't worth visiting…read more Rather, it's so isolated that it needs a 3-6 hr ferry ride or a 45-60 min sea plane ride. Even then, there's only one hotel to stay in which is usually booked out pretty far in advance, unless you want to camp with potable water sources not the most reliable. Of course, this is by design in order to preserve the beautiful natural wilderness. I visited in the shoulder season in the first week of June, and there weren't that many people, emphasizing the wild solitude. It seems like all the visitors here are respectful of nature since there was not any litter nor any defacing at all. The trails here are primitive and not paved or lined with gravel. You can see so much wildlife here, from tiny amphibians the size of my fingernail to huge moose. The night sky is amazing with so many stars, and I saw the Milky Way due to the high quality of the night sky. It is very humbling. As a note, limited amounts of foraging is allowed. I didn't take anything, but I saw edible mushrooms and fiddleheads, and later in the season there's wild blueberries, strawberries, and thimbleberries. Even though it is early before the first hatch, the mosquitoes here are ferocious!

Isle Royale is a unique GEM in the National Park system. If…read moreyou want a beautiful, unique, and wild place with no tv and limited Wi-Fi Isle Royale is for you. I took the Sea Hunter 3 from Grand Portage, Minnesota. The Grace Point lookout trail from the Windigo Visitor's Center took me about two hours, I'm a 45 year old male in decent shape. The lodge is at the Rock Creek Visitor's Center, from the Windigo Visitor's Center this would be about a 40-50 mile hike, Isle Royale is HUDGE island. There are ferry's and sea planes to Rock Harbor. I would LOVE to come back and spend a couple of nights. Bring heavy duty bug spray and a bug cover for your head and hands. The rangers at the Windigo Visitor's Center are GREAT, the ranger in the picture gave an awesome presentation.

We came up to Copper Harbor months before booking a lodge room here. Despite all the low reviews we…read morebooked here anyway. First let me address some of the "negetive" points people mentioned. Copper Harbor is miles from cell towers so service is spotty to non existent. We enjoyed the solitude of being in the wilderness without being continually bombarded with calls. The lodge is older. The rustic look takes you back to the 70s. I grew up in the 70s, so for me it was totally nostalgia. Things are showing their age, but then again, so am I. The TV only gets a few channels, but if I wanted to watch one of the hundred channels cable offers, I'd have stayed home. I was able to get the news and weather. WiFi is great if you're near the office. If you really need to be online, pull your car up to the office and have at it. We came here for a getaway from the rat race and the everyday stress that the big city offers. This is exactly what we wanted. I sat for hours on our deck watching the sun rise over the Lake Fanny Hooe. We hiked a trail that went around the lake. We even saw a waterfall. The town offers some nice shops and restaurants. We took a trip up to Brockway mountain. We even saw the northern lights for the first time. This campground/lodge is in the wilderness. You come here for a getaway. That's part of the ambiance. I think it's only fitting that the accommodations should reflect that. If you want the Embassy Suites, stay home. If you want a wilderness getaway, this might be the place for you.We were satisfied with our stay here.

Our room had two queen…read moresize beds, a dresser, TV, a mini fridge, two burner stove, small table, chairs and a coffee maker, bathroom and a private deck. The room was furnished with dishes. Our room was on the bottom floor. We had an amazing view of Lake Fanny Hooe. Yes, the rooms are outdated, but how much time do you really spend in your room anyways? Is the expierence about your room or the area in which you are staying? The TV in our room offered limited channels, and the wi-fi is spotty at best. If you want/need good wifi then the office is the place to be. There is access to hiking trails on the property and they offer boat rentals to boat around Lake Fanny Hooe if desired. A short walk away are restaraunts, shops, a food market and Lake Superior. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. It was a nice, relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Baraga State Park is a small State Park situated in a perfect area across from Lake Superior that…read moreis between somewhere and nowhere. 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!

This was a mistake coming here as the road noise is terrible, it sounds like the Indy 500 and it is not conducive for an enjoyable camping experience.

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. Bill was very helpful when we asked about waterfalls in the vicinity - it just so happens that he created a map of waterfalls! 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.

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!

I arrived after dark on a Saturday night in mid September and luckily there was one spot available. It is right on King Lake. You drive about 5 miles or so down a one lane dirt road but it's easily traversed with any vehicle. There is a boat ramp and the spaces are quite large and very private. It is quite primitive but each spot has a picnic table and fire pit. There is a vault toilet bathroom and water pump along with each site having its own trash receptacle. It's super quiet and peaceful and secluded. 3 of the sites have a lake view but even though mine didn't it was still a great spot in the woods.
