By far, the major attraction of this campground - this is our third time staying here - is its proximity to Lake Superior. The campground goes right up to the edge of the lake and has a sandy beach that runs the entire length of the campground. This means that there is direct access from the campground to the lake.
The individual sites are a mixture of FHU and water/electric. At least some of the FHU sites are 50 amp. The sites all seem generally level, with dirt for the "pad" and grass around that.
As with our two other times, this time, we were in the Overflow Area. 30/20, water, no sewer.
We wanted the front of the coach to face the lake, which meant the utilities were at the front of the "campsite" rather than in the rear, so we were thankful that we had an extra section of water hose, and an extension cord for our electrical.
Speaking of electrical, in the overflow area, when it is full, and it is hot outside, there is sometimes a dip in the pedestal voltage to below 104 volts, the point at which our Huges Power Watchdog will cut power to the coach.
The campground is adjacent to a 55 mph two-lane highway, so there is road noise. Fortunately, it is almost entirely tire noise rather than truck noise, and it tends to quite down significantly at night.
Big rig friendly. Clean toilets and showers. Nice dump site.
3 bars Verizon, 2 bars T-Mobile, good AT&T data. Campground has Wi-Fi but we did not try it.
Tips:
If you want to get a real campsite, book *well* in advance.

As it is a city-run campground, I expected better. We looked forward for six months to spending our anniversary in this campground. We patiently waited until 8:00 p.m. on December 1st to get our site. We logged in at 7:55 p.m. and refreshed until the sites opened. We had our Lakefront campsite picked in our cart and went to pay for it, but there was an error. I went back to the main page, and all the sites were gone. Something funny is going on with this campground. All the sites were reserved beforehand. I guess they should advertise as being a seasonal only campground. Emailed the campground that same night and no response.

Was on the computer at 759pm with site picked out and credit card in hand and couldn't add anything to my cart. Seen this before at other privately run campgrounds. Despite what we were told, seasonal campers already reserved their sites ahead of the supposed Dec 4 reservation start time. No way in hell the entire campground except the same 4 sites filled up for every day in 2 minutes. Disappointed.

We had a great campsite with full hookups right on the shoreline.
Noteworthy details: Camped right on the lake shore.

Can't beat the views and access to Lake Superior. Best to go outside of peak season to have access do a camping spot on the lake.

Awesome peyote here and a great place to park your RV. close to everything! Great whitefish dinner in town. Boat tours of pictured rock, when it's not to windy.

Over priced for having to walk and carry your supplies to camp.

Not a bad site in the park, staff are friendly and the rest of the location speaks for itself. You're lucky to get a site in this little hot spot but when you do you'll know why it's so hard to book. Full hookups and great wifi - 'glamping' at its finest 😄

We stayed at a Rustic Tent Site from October 13th-16th. The campground is easy to find, just off the highway. We were able to check in easily/quickly and were also given advice on where to find the nearest firewood (in Christmas, 5 mins away).
Our tent site "S" was about a 3-4 minute walk through a wooded trail to where we had to park, and about 5-6 minute walk to the bathrooms. The bathrooms were clean, had hot water, and they had a dish-washing room. Wifi/cell service is available throughout the campground. There was a large apple tree growing next to the entrance to our site with big, beautiful apples to snack on.
Our site was directly on the sandy beach with stunning views of the lake. There was a picnic table & firepit with a grill. The ground was mostly level, with minimal trees and shrubs. However our site did have one medium-sized tree that we set our tent up next to, and it did a lot to help block the wind.
Speaking of the wind, it was very intense throughout the duration of our stay. It may not be like that all year-round, but if you are tent camping on the beach I highly recommend bringing plenty of extra long stakes, and a tent that holds up to very strong wind gusts. Also, ear plugs if the sound of waves crashing and tent flapping in the wind will bother you while trying to fall asleep.
And if you are tent camping there in October like us, be prepared for the nights to be as low as 25°F with the windchill. Really, be prepared for any weather situation because it's quite unpredictable that time of year.
Overall it is a truly beautiful campground, central to lots of outdoor activities/restaurants, and shopping. I will absolutely be returning to this place in the Spring/Summer when the weather is more temperate!
Nearby activities: Munising is only a couple minutes down the road. Both Marquette & the Chapel Loop Trailhead (at Pictured Rocks) are about 30-40 mins away.
Noteworthy details: The rustic tent sites can be quite a walk from the parking lot depending on the site you choose. They provide a large wheelbarrow that handles pretty well in the sandy terrain, but I recommend bringing your own cart as well if possible, especially during the busy season.

Just had an amazing weekend at the Lake Superior View Campground! The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, and the sunsets were nothing short of breathtaking. The campground itself is well-maintained and offers great amenities. The showers were fantastic—clean, spacious, and with plenty of hot water. Loved the cozy fireplace—it was perfect for chilly evenings and roasting chicken. Overall, a very pleasant place to relax and connect with nature. Highly recommend! 🌲🔥🌊
