Gird your loins, the water here is cold--though some may just call it refreshing.

Bay View Campground boasts some great fishing holes and is known for its miles of sandy beach and fiery sunsets spilling out across Lake Superior. Keep an eye out for the loons (no need to worry, we mean the bird, not the people).

A simple PRIVATE and affordable campsite should be this easy! Come sleep in a levitating tent already set up; you just need your own sleeping bag and pillow. Feel free to bring your own camper or tent too, every site has enough room! These sites are really spread out and you can’t see any other sites, neighbors are out of sight, you have privacy here! All sites have their own private entrances, you can’t see any sites or buildings, they are very spaced-out. This location is situated PERFECTLY central to the major UP attractions Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls and Kitchittikippi. And there’s even a convenience store within walking distance! Mention your staying with us for a discounted shower in Newberry (“Pleasant Moose” hotel).

This is a secluded private property that is close to town and yet so quiet at night you can hear the owls. it is located just outside Newberry, Mi. It is literally located in the middle of all attractions a family would be here to see. The Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Two heart River, Kitch-iti-kipi, Curtis, Mi. and the Manistique Lakes are all with in a short drive. The property is Surrounded by ATV, side by side and snowmobile trails. I am slowly building this property into a campground style property that will allow memories to be made for families from all over. Even though the listing shows only a few sites just ask. There is plenty of room for tent camping for everyone. it has a communal fire pit and plenty of wood laying around for a fire. i also have a nice 5th wheel camper on site i rent through another site. There is power and water available for use but not at any specific sites. Any questions just ask i’m sure i can accommodate you.

ROCK RIDGE FARM LLC

4 sites · RVs, Tents130 acres · Goetzville, MI

Our property is located near the Eastern end of the UP! We have 130 acres of mostly wooded land with creeks, wetlands, small lake, and privacy. This spring we will clear and designate campsites, but for now, the choice is yours! As of March 2023, we still have loads of snow, so hike in camping until the snow melts. Then there is a gravel drive that will guide you through the property. The lake access a is difficult hike through downed trees, brush, and swamp, but absolutely worth it! We will be working on clearing a path! We, Gary and Sally, bought the farm in November 2023 and we have grand plans! You can expect to see deer, fox, porcupine, coyote, and bear and wolves are possible. We expect the lake will be good fishing too.

Probably the warmest place in Lake Superior to swim with great spacious camping. Just down the road don't miss the Wilcox Fish house for great freshly caught whitefish or trout, and then for some great coffee, go to the locally owned free trade organic coffee shop, The Dancing Crane in Brimley. It has board games and plays jazz and is hip for those rainy days.
