As a campground, fees apply for overnight stays (contact directly for rates). Basic amenities are available, but plan to bring your own food and camping supplies, as this is a more remote UP location.

Open seasonally from late spring through early fall, typically May through September or October depending on weather. Call ahead for exact opening and closing dates as they vary by year. Winter camping is not available.
