1 night at Full RV Hookup by Lake Superior

Thank you SO MUCH for having us for the night! Very easy to park and hooked up everything. Beyond expectations! I see you are working on having grass by the RV. Would be ideal for dogs ! Thank again!

Weekend Trip to Possum Creek Campground

We enjoyed our time here. Great location and property.

1 night at Forest Overlooking River

Pauline was sweet and helpful on the phone. She accommodated us with a more private spot on the river. Will come back.

7 nights at Full RV Hookup by Lake Superior

Our family of 4 + dog had a fantastic week at Wayne's RV site in the UP! This spot is an ideal basecamp for exploring - during our trip we visited Pictured Rocks NP, Grand Marais, Marquette, Mackinac Island, and the Keweenaw Peninsula. The site was quiet, and the WiFi and water quality were excellent. We saw Wayne a couple of times, and caught glimpses of a neighbor here and there, but otherwise, it felt very private. Be prepared for mosquitos! We learned this the hard way on our first morning when we weren't careful with the door and ended up with an RV full of them. However, this was easily remedied with a can of mosquito fogger. We fogged under the camper morning and evening, and it made a huge difference for the rest of our stay. It's also designed for backing in, which would have meant our RV door opened towards a building. We much preferred having our door open to the trees, so we opted to pull straight in. This just required using a power extension and a sewer extension, which wasn't a big deal because we already had them. We loved our stay so much we even extended it a day! We'd absolutely stay with Wayne again and highly recommend this site to friends and family.

1 night at Northern Oasis Camping

It was a spacious site. Very quiet and close to Marquette.

2 nights at Superior Times Resort & Campground

This camp was nice, the only thing is I felt like we were on top of other campers. The showers were nice and so were the people. Just didn't have that secluded feeling we were looking for.

4 nights at Superior Times Resort & Campground

The campsite heather and her husband owned was very nice to stay at, the customer service from everyone there was phenomenal! We will be coming back in the fall and every year from then on, we made the decision to make this a yearly trip to the U.P.💛

Weekend Trip to Forest Overlooking River

Super beautiful, very easy to find, peaceful, couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Weekend Trip to Bear Tree Homestead

Our family loved our stay at Bear Tree Homestead! It was the highlight of our whole trip. We were welcomed by a friendly family of ducks and loved exploring. The trail to Hogback is right there and it makes the journey much shorter than starting at the trailhead! There were so many interesting books and the cabin felt so cozy. We will definitely be back, next time with fewer plans so we can just stay in the cabin! The sauna and pond were great, the kids liked canoeing around the pond. The outhouse was clean and just felt like part of the adventure.

7 nights at Heritage Hills

Joni and Phill were such lovely hosts! We really enjoyed our stay.

3 nights at Bear Lake Meets da Yellow Dog

We stayed for 3 nights at the Cabin at bear lake with our two dogs and cat. It was exactly as described. We loved getting some recs from the host and just spending the weekend out in nature. Susan was great with communication. It is a simple cabin but it was just what we wanted. It’s a short uphill walk from parking, water, fire pit and the pit toilet, but this allows campers some privacy at the top.

4 nights at AuTrain RV Sites By Pictured Rocks

I loved the RV sites here. They were setup to maximize privacy, and had beautiful fire pits, chairs and picnic table on the site as well. Very close to Lake Superior. Erin was very helpful with suggestions on things to do. We hope to be back soon

1 night at Stoney Moose BnB

My partner and I loved our time at this farm. We were only there for one night, but it was peaceful and private and beautiful. Super friendly folks who were generous with their time in the morning to give us a tour of the operations. 100% would return for a visit in the future, and if we have time this coming autumn we'll do just that :)

4 nights at Bear Tree Homestead

The Orchard Cabin and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful! We had a peaceful stay, hiking nearby trails and enjoying the homestead’s stunning pond, garden, and forest. The animals, including some welcoming pups, chickens, ducks, and highland cows, were a joy to be around! Jill and Nick were so knowledgeable about their sustainable practices and the history of the land. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the cabin and other structures were exceptional. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend!

3 nights at Camp Therapy

I can't recommend this hipcamp site enough! The location was beautiful, and the dome was very cozy. It was remote enough to get peace and quiet, but not too remote that there weren't things to do during the day. The accommodations in the dome had so many thoughtful touches, it really improved our experience a lot feeling the care that went into the place. Lauren did a great job checking in throughout our stay, and had the best recommendations. Overall we had a great stay and will definitely be back.

3 nights at AuTrain RV Sites By Pictured Rocks

Great site with easy pull through site. Clean and easy to find the campground. I would recommend.

Heritage Hills

6 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Ishpeming, MI

Heritage Hills isn't called Heritage Hills for nothing! It's situated on 21 acres of what was the original Wawonowin Country Club, a 9-hole golf course that was built in the early 1800s and then closed in the mid 1960s. And now we have a beautiful mix of hardwoods and pines, forests and fields with multiplied non-motorized trails accessible right off the property. The very popular RAMBA bike trails are literally an ‘stones throw’ away! Our biggest site, Fairway Field is big enough for group camping that horse campers love, and one site, the Homestead, with an electric hookup. We don’t have a dump station or trash cans so please pack in and pack out. Phone signal is good throughout the area and we are close to civilization for necessities and only 20 minutes from Marquette. So much stuff to do in this area!

There are not established trails, but you are welcome to wander in my forty acres enjoying the old grown White Pines, granite ridges, teenage sugar maples and wildlife.

Bear Tree Homestead

3 sites · Lodging50 acres · Trowbridge Park, MI

Bear Tree Homestead is nestled among the cliffs and ravines which drains the south face of Hogback Mountain located in Marquette Township Michigan. Hogback Mountain is one of the larger rock formations in the Huron Range, a surprisingly rugged, and diverse region of low mountains carved by glaciers. Each cabin is hand-built of log and stone using traditional Scandinavian building tools and techniques. The cabins have access to the pond, use of the canoe, a private fire pit, picnic table, charcoal grill and privy. Inside the cabins is a functional kitchen with dishes, flatware, pots and pans, so you can prepare meals onsite. Cabins also have table and chairs as well soft chairs/sofa sitting area, bookshelves with a variety of books, board games and puzzles, and covered porch in case of rain. Our buildings, gardens, and pastures are integrated into the forested landscape and are not your typical homestead. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, collect fresh eggs (when they are laying), lay in the hammock, listen to the sounds of nature and the barnyard or take an adventure hike, bike ride, snowshoe, or ski right out the door. One of the most wonderful things we have to offer is the accessibility to thousands of protected acres surrounding us and the trails that bisect them. The property is on the North Country Trail, just over a Noquemanon Trail Network Forestville trailhead where access to year round recreation awaits. Hogback Mountain is just up the trail from the cabin with spectacular views of forest, mountains and lake superior. We are located 8 miles from downtown Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where there are many great restaurants, shops, and brewpubs. However, once you drive into Bear Tree Homestead and settle in you will not want to leave.

Superior Times Resort & Campground

1 site15 acres · Au Train, MI

Hello, and welcome to Superior Times Resort and Campground! We would like to take a moment and introduce ourselves. Our names are Tom and Heather Holmstrom. We were married in 2016 and have four children as part of our blended family. We are both originally from the Upper Peninsula. Superior Times and Resort was the result of us wanting to do something “outside of the box” that would allow us to raise our family and showcase our love and respect for the beauty of the Upper Peninsula…the area that many refer to as “God’s Country.” In December of 2016, we mistakenly pulled into the driveway of this property. At that time, it was known as Coleman’s Paradise Resort. There was a For Sale sign marking the property. We both knew at that point our fate was sealed to become this property’s new owners. We learned that this property had been a family vacation destination for nearly 100 years. We could only imagine the special memories that had been made here over the years! We wanted to become a part of that deep history.Through the many years of the resort’s history, the owners had changed and the cabins were showing true signs of their age. We knew there was A LOT of work that simply had to be done. On a wing and prayer, we somehow made this great resort ours. In April of 2017, we opened what we named Superior Times Resort and Campground. We pulled up or sleeves and went to work! We began this resort’s transformation by replacing nearly all of the roofs. We then added the campground (we are most proud of the campground, as it did not exist prior to our ownership). In the winters we worked on the inside of the cabins, which is what we continue working on to this day. We have completely remodeled 3 cabins; Eagle Harbor, Copper Harbor and Isle Royal. Smaller projects are being continually worked on in the other cabins. Slowly but surely, we are turning this property into our vision. The harsh winter of 2018/2019 led to two roof collapses and even more work!! In 2020, we designed and built rustic bungalows in our campground for nightly rental. Please, take a walk down Backwoods Alley and check them out. In the winter of 2020/2021, we built new custom showers in 3 cabins and replaced the old siding on Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor. We think the new cedar shakes complete the rustic feel we are aiming for. In the spring of 2021, we added 4 new campsites and built a new bath house for our campers. We also ordered new windows for Tahquamenon Falls and Mackinaw Island, however due to the pandemic we did not receive them in time for installation (insert angry emoji). It has been so rewarding having customers return to this resort and commenting so favorably on the changes we have made! What will 2022 bring? Stay tuned.We could not have done ANY of the resort changes without the help and support of my parents, Roger and Marcia Hart. They sold their own home to live out here full time to be a part of the resort’s transformations. Without them, this dream would not have been possible. They truly define the saying, “labor of love,” as we often can only pay them with love. Our dream truly became their dream, as well.

Camping near Marquette guide

Overview

Hidden away on the shores of Lake Superior, Marquette is one of Michigan’s best-kept secrets. Getting there is an adventure in itself — this small town lies 450 miles north of Detroit. With its evergreen forests, starry skies, and crisp, clean water, Marquette is worth the trip.

Here, you’re never far from the perfect campsite. About 2 miles north of downtown, the Marquette Tourist Park offers 110 sites with picnic tables and fire pits. Book the RV park to enjoy full hookups, or choose a rustic tent site near the Dead River. Cool off at the kid-friendly beach, or ride into town on the city bike path.

Are you looking for true Upper Peninsula wilderness? Head to the secluded Little Lake State Forest Campground. Local families love the quiet sites, calm water, and Wi-Fi connection at Van Riper State Park. Or, get off-grid with a backcountry campsite in the Hiawatha National Forest.c

Summers are warm and sunny in Marquette, creating perfect camping conditions. Stay in town, or drive down to Munising to paddle by the Pictured Rocks. Fall, with its brilliant leaves and crisp air, is one of the best times to visit. Head down to the lake during an autumn gale — you might even see surfers riding the huge waves.

In the winter, lake-effect snow blankets the Marquette area. Try ice fishing on an inland lake, or break out your cross-country skis. Tent camping is possible, but a cabin or yurt rental is more comfortable when the temperatures drop below zero. Be sure to bring warm layers; evenings are cool year-round.
