2 nights at Shivering Timbers Family Campground
Shivering Timbers is a lovely, quiet campground. The sites are flat and open but somehow each site is secluded by pine trees. It is just 3 miles from Lower Tequamenon Falls to the West and 7 miles from Paradise to the East. Each site has a campfire 'ring' and Tim sells wood. We would highly recommend this campground.

First time using Hipcamp, and definitely not the last, thanks to Cory! Site 1 doesn’t have many photos, but it’s actually way better than we thought. it’s really spacious and the levitating tent was really nice. We also got half a dozen fresh farm eggs which was a nice touch to the experience. I’ll definitely come back to this spot whenever I’m in the UP.

Tim was our first experience with Hipcamp. If Tim is an example of what we can expect from other hosts (after careful scrutiny), we will be loyal customers. Tim, if you see these comments, please pass on a suspicious event to Hipcamp management----The VERY day we signed up with Hipcamp, our cell phone was bombed for about 10 days with spam calls. Finally, by blocking each call, it suddenly returned to the usual level of junk phone calls. Perhaps Hipcamp was hacked???

My brother and I enjoyed our stay on Neal’s land. There were other campers on the property but we never interacted with them. Because we got in late, we never met Neal. The land was right next to a road but it was not a busy road. It was a cheap and nicely located site! I would recommend this site to anyone just looking for a safe night’s sleep (with no amenities)

The state park pales in comparison to the this wonderful campground! Stephanie and her family put love into what they do and it shows. The grounds were so well kept, the atmosphere was relaxing, and Stephanie was warm and welcoming! She shared stories, local treasures to go see, and was a delight to talk about life with. Her kids help around the camp and have the best firewood service I’ve seen!! This is a rustic campground (which we prefer. It keeps the normies away), but they have well kept porta potties and if you need a shower the state park is a few minutes down the road and offers showers for cheap. All around, this is a fantastic family environment that is growing beautifully! We will never go back to the crowded state park after finding this gem!

Cory was great! Welcoming and accommodating. Tent site was better than the pictures and gave a great deal peace and quiet only nature can offer. Also great location as it’s right near a gas station and breakfast spot! Cory was also very understanding for a slight, self-imposed hiccup which was managed in only a couple messages back and forth. Would definitely stay here again if I end up in the same area again.

Discover the unique charm of JoeIda Campground, a secluded retreat nestled in the heart of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Owned by Don and Leslie Edmunds, who have called Munising home for over thirty years, this campground offers a rare opportunity to enjoy camping in a tranquil setting surrounded by timber, allowing guests to experience both togetherness and solitude. The property, originally acquired from Leslie’s grandfather Joe and his wife Ida, holds a special place in the family’s history. After their passing, the couple’s legacy inspired the naming of the campground. Since opening in 2017, JoeIda has welcomed visitors from across the country and even as far as Sweden, fostering a sense of community among campers. Located just twenty-eight miles east of Munising and eighteen miles west of Grand Marais, JoeIda Campground is conveniently situated one mile south of Kingston Lake and one mile off Highway H58.

The best camping in Muskallonge Lake State Park, MI guide

Overview

About

Muskallonge Lake State Park may no longer be the lumbering town it was in the 1880s, but you better believe its topography still shows signs of it. Accessorized with sawdust piles and accented with the occasional pine log lingering in the lake, this park is very clearly brimming with history. Get filled in on the deets at the nearby Logging Museum or spend part of your stay getting the lay of the land in a riverboat that sails you right past Tahquamenon Falls. Also closeby is the Seney National Wildlife Refuge and places to hunt for duck and geese. But, back on the 217 acres that make up Muskallonge Lake State Park, you’ll have access to all the forests, lakes, and streams your heart desires, and to us, that sounds like a sweet, sweet, deal.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Muskallonge Lake State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the lake's waters invite swimmers and boaters alike. Fall also offers a spectacular display of changing leaves, making it a picturesque time for hiking. Winter can be harsh, with heavy snowfall limiting access to certain areas, so it's best to check conditions before planning a winter visit.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a Recreation Passport for park entry, as it's required for all visitors.
  • Check the trail conditions before heading out, especially after inclement weather.
  • Remember to pack out all your trash and leave no trace to preserve the park's natural beauty.
  • Cell service may be limited, so plan accordingly and inform someone of your itinerary.
  • For those looking to fish, familiarize yourself with local regulations and obtain the necessary licenses.

Muskallonge Lake Campground
The best way I found to get there is to go right to Grand Marais. Then head east. A lot of it is paved. I went up Deer Park Rd. once and it was a rained out rutted muddy mess. I'll never go that way again. Heading east out of Grand Marais is easy (you turn at a giant pickle barrel) there is a turn to the left to stay along the lake but there is a sign that points you to the campground. Plus Grand Marais has some cool shops, a grocery store and a good restaurant.
