When
I asked friends and readers about the choice of staying at
either Rivermouth or Lower Falls campground, almost unanimously,
I heard "Rivermouth." Main reason given was that
it was more modern and sites were more spacious. The camp
hosts from Rivermouth said they think it's quieter here because
there is no public day use area and that large groups and
families seem to frequent the Lower Falls loops more.

Here's
you're looking down the row that leads to the river with the
campground host site (#45) on the left and the modern bathhouse
on the right. |

|
In
the semi-modern campground of Rivermouth, there are some sites
right alongside the Tahquamenon River. There is no electricity
or modern bathhouses (vault toilets only). No
generator use allowed at any time.
|
|
|
The
favorite sites here are 101 & 102. |
|
|
Even if you're staying in the modern side, don't miss a stroll
along the path and rest and reflection spots like this. |
|
|
| The
sites here are generally smaller and not as near the river.
However, you are closer to the paths that lead to the Lower
Falls if you want to hike the path there (1 mile from campground). |

Riversbend
Campground |
| Some
sites here back up to the river (Site 11) and while they do
have pull-throughs and I did see some larger RVs, the majority
are small popups and tents. |

Overlook
Campground
Row

Site
158. Between Riversbend and Overlook, I saw more big rigs
at Overlook than I did at Riversbend.
|
| It
seems like some people call this campground "Upper Falls"
- but there really is no campground at the Upper Falls. The
Upper Falls trailhead is about 4 miles from these Lower Falls
campgrounds. |
