Best Time to Camp at Tahquamenon Falls-Lower Falls Campground

Adventure doesn't hibernate here—the Hemlock loop welcomes campers year-round, with plowed sites, electricity, and water access even in the depths of a U.P. winter (the DNR provides a helpful winter camping map to guide your snowy retreat). Spring through fall, pack your bug spray as mosquitoes are active companions in this lush environment. Keep in mind that Upper Peninsula weather keeps everyone guessing—reviewers have reported surprise snow flurries as late as spring, so layers are your friend no matter the season.
