Ontonagon Township Park and Campground — Attraction in Ontonagon Township

One of our most anticipated trips of the season! Unfortunately we had a few snags this trip…Second year at this campground..

The First time at this campground that we had to clean up after the previous campers…..#13

Upon arriving we first noticed the abundance of trash and food trash ,banana peels , orange peels and onion peels in our fire pit.

There was also rain soaked crackers stuck to the seat of the picnic table. The soaked crackers looked to be wheat thins and were stuck like glue to the one side of the seat of the picnic table.

So the first order of business was to clean our campsite from the previous campers.

We Removed sticky fly trap tape from the tree that a previous camper had attached to a tree at this site.

We chose the last site available #13 by Lake Superior. It had rained for days prior to our arrival. This campsite ground was water logged….

The ground is still muddy & wet and saturated and we’ve been here for 3 days now with a slight mist one night. Two days of sunshine hasn’t dried it up much.

Our neighbors had told us the previous campers had a lake of a puddle at this campsite due to all the rain.

We had a very difficult time trying to manage our rig , maneuvering our 32 foot rig on the campsite sloped water soaked earth, did I mention the muddy ground?

We weren’t able to position our rig where we would’ve liked to due to the incline or grade of the ground on this site . The ground was just too muddy and the slanted , ground was water logged. So advice here is this : if the forecast calls for rain avoid this site!

Regardless of the less than pleasant task of cleaning up after careless campers ….the lake, rocks and surrounding natural areas near this campground make for some magical memories! Remember to leave the space you occupied better than you found it!...

Splendid Sunsets with Sandy Beach (3/4 of campground). Very nice, well-maintained campground. Tony, the campground manager, was very nice and helpful. Sites are not reservable but you can call the morning of at 8am to check availability. They will save a site for you. Locals utilize this favorite campground a lot. Sites can be full most of the time as it was during our stay. The middle of the week was easier to get in. Stayed 3 nights on site 11. Site was great with a view of Lake Superior. It was mostly grass with some worn out areas we needed our rug for which is normal. Site was very level. We didnt need levelers. Our fire ring was an old tire rim which was cool. Smaller but good enough for a fire. They had a newer bathhouse with coin operated showers. (3 qrtr for 6 minutes). Dumpsite was functional and well spaced with adequate spacing to get out a large campground. The only downside was we were very far from the playground for kids. Itd be nice if they added another playground on the east side of the campground near the boat access. There are no laundry facilities on site so bring enough clothes. Weather is often cooler by Superior so bring sweaters for most everyday. Verizon, TMobile and AT&T all came in well. Everyone was friendly. Definitely would stay again. Very nice well designed campground with a...

Excellent park across the board. My wife and I were full time RVing for several years so we've seen quite a few RV parks and campgrounds across the country. This park was just great, we are self contained with the motorhome so I can't speak for bathrooms or showers, but the park itself was very nice, staff super helpful. We looked at allot of sites and there really isn't a bad site in the whole park. The lakefront sites are the most popular and are harder to get in to. So we stayed across the road from the lake front and it was still a great site. Could see the lake past the other campers and hear it during the evening/night hours.

Overall we will be back again, and the price was great too. We paid $21 a night for our site with 50/30/15amp service and water. No sewer, but for short duration trips that's not really much of an issue. There is a dump station and they will empty tanks on site, but we didn't use either.

Overall I'd recommend it higher than the State park just down the road, honestly this is a better...
