What Campers Say

Satisfactory

Based on 143 reviews

"User reviews highlight the campground's natural beauty, spacious and private campsites, and proximity to waterfalls and Lake Superior. However, concerns include the lack of potable water, unmaintained trails and roads, and the occasional disturbance from noisy generators. Bugs, particularly mosquitoes and black flies, can also be a seasonal nuisance."

About Black River Harbor Campground

Nestled within the pristine Ottawa National Forest, Black River Harbor Campground offers 38 thoughtfully situated sites where the rhythm of nature sets the pace for your stay. This rustic retreat seamlessly blends the comforts of modern camping with the raw beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, welcoming everything from cozy tents to spacious RVs. Steps away from the captivating Black River Harbor Recreation Area, campers find themselves at the gateway to Lake Superior's rugged shoreline, cascading waterfalls, and miles of forest trails. The whisper of wind through ancient hemlocks and the distant sound of rushing water create a natural symphony that has earned this hidden gem its reputation as a haven for those seeking genuine wilderness tranquility.
