Beautiful, somewhat remote campground with large, forested sites. However there is zero enforcement of quiet hours. Several large groups up all night yelling, swearing, fighting, and playing music. Munising tourist park is quieter than this place. Could not rest between heavy days in the wilderness. Won’t be back.

Great campground. Toilets were the cleanest vault types I've ever used. Firewood for sale in campground and free kindling. All sites are in forest and completely shaded, nice separation between them. Lake swimming area and wildlife viewing platform adjacent to campground. Camphosts are great and even rake the sites before you get there. I had no cell service but some do. 10 miles to Lake Superior and kayak rental on AuTrain river. Three miles to AuTrain Falls. Would definitely come back.

Awesome! Quiet except for the generators which surprises me because the place is in such a natural environment. Site where spaces out well...privacy. And the best part were the hosts.

Beautiful and clean camp sites. Very helpful hosts.Amazing trails and a great swim area. We stayed 10 days didnt want to leave. Out of the way but so worth the drive.

This is a beautiful campground that is tucked away down an emerald hallway of leaves, trees, and picture perfect ferns. This year they have a new campground host couple who, after I experienced some major RV troubles, were absolutely, fantasticly helpful and kind! Over a 5 night stay the campground was peaceful in the afternoon and evening with the sound of gentle lapping water serenading the day away. Most sites had good brush growth between them, creating a private feeling behind each gravel pull-in. There are no electric sites, most are reservable with a few available on a first-come basis. There's running water and clean outhouses. AuTrain Lake is cool and clear with a sand beach and boat dock. Noticed several kayakers, boaters, and beavers bobbing around on the calm waters. There is an observation deck and 2 mile trail system that will make you feel like you're in a bird sounds soundtrack, with educational markers identifying the different bird species present in the area. Reliable and long burning firewood was available and in abundance by the host site with reasonable prices. AuTrain township is approximately 5 miles north where there is a gorgeous Lake Superior sandy beach, convenience store, kayak rentals, and pizza place. This campground is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something convenient, quiet, affordable ($22 a night, cash or check only) and an all around relaxing experience.
