Nice place to base camp.

Overall, it’s a very nice park. Sites are mostly level & of adequate size. Bathrooms & showers are top notch (relatively speaking). There’s a 3/4 mile trail at back of park that well short, is quite nice. The campground itself is quiet, the noise from hwy 41 on the other hand, is noticeable yet not a dealbreaker. Well situated to check out the area.

Road noise is awful

This campground is right next to the highway and the traffic noise goes on all night. Granted, there is a beautiful view of the bay since there is no tree line to buffer the noise, but it’s very difficult to enjoy that view due to the constant racket. I will not be back.

Centralized spot

We are on site 22. Very spacious have room for our 20ft TT and could have put up a large screen tent but there is a big dip in the site which caused a huge puddle where we would have placed it. Nice view of the lake can see at least part of it from almost anywhere in the camp. Picnic table and fire ring on every site. There are several full hook up sites (water sewer electric). There are a few pull through sites. Some of the sites (the ones a crossed from us) have a huge dip right at the edge of the site to get in out of the site that can cause some issues with low sitting vehicles. Hosts were very friendly and informative, offered some scheduled programs through out the week and free coffee and doughnuts Saturday morning at the host site. DNR staff almost always available. Serves as a great base point to see probably hundreds of water falls. Some are located just down the street from the campground. Mordern shower clean and had hot water and restroom, clean but toilets are a little tricky to flush...doesn't seem to have enough flushing power. Verizon phone works great... hotspot from Verizon phone works great as well. there is also some WiFi available from somewhere that works but doesn't work(cuts in and out) not sure if it is the parks or a nearby place. The roads in the campground are narrrow but manageable. The park is located on a main highway (41) so you get the noise from the traffic on the road...sometimes this noise can make it hard to have a quiet conversation with those in your camping party....it quiets down some at night but still a lot of noise. Also train tracks runs along the back of the campground which can be quite noisy. We've been here almost a week and have heard only one train(we aren't here a lot during the day we are out exploring). Nice day park across the road from the campground. Located about 30 min. From Houghton (and a Walmart) and about an hour drive to the porcupine mountains.

Cute but noisy

This was a pretty typical state park camping experience. It is right on the highway so there is highway noise. We could see the lake over the highway from our site which was nice. This site was okayed for a 35 ft trailer but we had some challenges positioning our 33ft trailer so beware of that! There was a nice 3/4 mile trail that had a fun activity. We heard some loud speaker noises on that trail and realized there is a maximum security prison nearby so just note that if that concerns you at all. Definitely not a quiet experience but clean and very well kept. Not sure we'd visit again for a long stay but might be a nice stopping point for a night on a longer drive.

It has some good points

My review is mixed. Seems well run. Bathrooms are clean and the water is hot. There is a sign that says $5 for a shower if you aren’t a registered camper so that is good if you are just passing through. Sites are typical for a state park. Our site was a little muddy. Lots of activities for kids. My biggest complaint is the park is right on the main highway. The road noise was loud and constant. The lake is across the highway so to get to the water would be like playing frogger. Not a place I would want to spend time hanging in the camp, but a good base for heading further north.

Why would anyone pay to stay here..

I will be totally transparent and say I definitely prefer rustic or dispersed campsites.. however, I always give state parks an honest chance.

Baraga State Park... I have tried. Ohh, have I tried to like you over the years.

However, this is the WORST example of what a Michigan DNR campground can be. They squeezed in WAY too many sites in this place. You can hear the campers next to you fart in their sleep.

Not even a stones throw from US-41 makes for constant road noise... and sites that have been submerged in water a day following rainfall. You always see campers here moving their tents, RV’s, etc... to drier portions of their sites.

The only reason I give this TWO stars is because of the well-kept and nice bathhouse.

I stop here solely to shower during my travels. I will stay on the side of the road before I set up camp here again.

Campground on Lake Baraga.

The campsites are very close together and the whole campground is next to very busy road. My tent was under a flood light all night.

Baraga State Park - not a place to camp if you want any sleep

Baraga is an interesting place to visit - but don't plan to camp here. The campground is literally a few yards from Interstate 41 - the trucks and noise make it impossible to catch any shut eye from any site in the park.

Campsites are small and when we went, totally muddy (Mid July) There is a small hole in the wall casino nearby. We golfed at a course a little north and it was like golfing in a cow pasture, but prices were right up there. (Had to take motion sickness pills to survive the ride back to the club house after only 5 holes.) Lake Superior is beautiful and there was a good steak house within 15 minutes.

Fort Wilkin, at the northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula is not worth the drive.

SiteNot far from showers.

Small campground right on a bay

Nice being in the bay of Lake Superior, but the highway is loud, and in between us and the bay. Teepee optional, for campers who don’t want to set up tents- with bunks and furniture inside!!!

Too busy, noisy, cramped

Really did not like this campground at all and it was a very big disappointment. It is right next to a state highway that was way busier than I thought it was and was noisy all night long. You have to cross this highway to get to the Keweenaw Bay. The weekend we stayed there was apparently a "Christmas in July" festival complete with all the tacky decorations and absurd amount of lights. Camp sites were very close together with no privacy or wooded spots between. Bathrooms were meh and had small stalls, no ADA stalls and no ADA showers. I would not recommend this campground at all.

very nice campground but the road...

the campground is very nice and so are the campground hosts. its very close to 41 so you hear a lot of road noise (reason for my lower score). there are train tracks behind our site. we’ve only been here a few hours and havent had a train come by. it seems to be close to orv trails, lots of people here have sidexsides and quads. no one has been loud though. bathrooms are nice and clean and showers seem clean too (havent used them yet). no laundry here if youre looking for that. dogs are welcome.
