Agate Beach Park — Attraction in Stanton Township

A park with a campground and a nice long beach right on Lake Superior.

I came here for the beach (for rock hunting agates and Yooperlites), but was pleasantly surprised by the park. This looks like a great place to camp!

There's a large yellow building with a smaller white one off to the side that had windows like it might serve food (not sure if it actually does, though). There is a small playground area, picnic tables, grills, and some informational signage. There are restrooms here.

There is a playground for the kids, the area is...

The tent campsites are roomy but are side by side with no barriers. They are also at the bottom of a slope, leading all water directly to your tent if it rains. We paid for 3 nights and gave up after 2. Noisy quads drove back and forth on the road until 4 am, blaring radios from the back. There were 5 cars at the next campsite over having a party that went on until after 3 am and some random guy walked around screaming all night. Two sites down there were 2 people who slept in their car, which it looked like they were living in. They popped the trunk and let bass music pound until around 1 am. Ultimately, don't camp here if you plan...
