My favorite feature of this campground was the front row seats
for Lake Superior moods and sunsets (see pages linked above).
Even
if you aren't camped on a lakefront site, there are many places
to sit and enjoy the lakeshore from the bluffs above or the
sandy beach below.

The
Good:
These
sites in the front row from 98-103 have the most open and
expansive views of Lake Superior.
|
| The
Bad: These sites have little space between sites, no
buffers at all between neighbors, and take the brunt of the
winds when they are a'blowin off the lake. |

I
met two fantastic folks from nearby Calumet in Site 101. It
was fun to get to know them around a lakefront campfire - at
sunset yet! |

Donna
and Richard moved to the area from LA about 8 years ago. I
remarked about what a culture shock that must have been and
they laughed and agreed, but said there has not been one day
of regret about their decision. How many of us can say that??
They say the whole Upper Peninsula is just one big park full
of fun, winter and summer! We became fast friends and I look
forward to keeping in touch and seeing them when I return
- and return I will because I really fell in love with this
park!

can see how there's a buffer of trees between the road and the
sites along this part. |

It's
a nice sized site with lots of space between it and the sites
on either side and a clear view of the lakefront directly
in front. But it's still sheltered from the wind a bit more
than those on the very front part.
I
met Nathan who has been here several times from Wausau, Wisconsin;
his whole family has always liked camping here. They appreciate
the paved pads, nice & clean bathhouse, and love having
the beach so close, and yet the trees give more privacy. What
else could you want?
