We had an amazing 10 day visit. The campground is very well maintained. Shower house and bathroom were very nice. Watching the ships pass by was amazing. Would highly recommend taking the ferry to sugar Island for bike riding. If your lucky you will be at the ferry when a big ship is going by. They had a horn blowing completion which was really cool. Make sure to have a burger at Clyde's either before or after the ferry ride

Was not impressed with campground. It's a grassy parking lot with firepits. No shade and no trees. Right on top of each other. There was one plus. It had a nice laundry area with 3 washers and dryers. Not too expensive. Location was okay.

My family only stayed two nights but it was so nice. If you love to watch the freighters go by this is the campground to stay at. They get so close and they start to slow down right there to get into the locks. The sites are nice and so are the bathrooms. There isn’t a lot of trees there, so not a lot of shade. Not to far from downtown Sault Ste. Marie.

Overall this place wasn’t bad. Grounds were well kept and cared for. Facilities were clean and tidy. We only stayed for a night and got in late. The biggest negative, which for me and my family was pretty big, was the main road. From 11pm to about 3am it turned in to a drag strip. Multiple cars with extremely loud exhaust were racing up and down the road. Kept waking my kids, my wife, and myself. It sounded like they were about to crash through our campground. Even the ships going through the locks using their horn weren’t bad at all compared to the cars and trucks racing on the road. There is a camp host that is available after hours. Even though we arrived after hours we didn’t need them but it was nice to know they were there. We didn’t use the showers but they were always busy and all had steam coming out so I would guess they were nice. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

First time camping here. Very nice and clean grounds. Host was a bit unfriendly. We got reprimanded for not holding onto our dogs leashes while they were playing with each other. Never had that before. Also have a motorhome that we wanted to pull straight in so we could face our friends! That was a no go! Oh well, other than that it was nice.

This is an awesome place to camp nowadays it's the only place to camp back way back late '70s early '80s there used to be a place called nicolet campground down the road that was the ultimate for us but I love this place now the freighters are just the best and people are even better and the food what can I say outstanding

I would rate this campground a 4.5 out of 5 star review! And that .5 deduction has nothing to do with the campground. Lack of trees! But, I understand that due to the terrain it’s built on. Otherwise, EXCELLENT! We had spot #2 I believe this past LaborDay weekend. Amazing site at night. Get to watch the freighter go by, and see Canada right in “my back yard, home away from home.” Very clean grounds, amazing staff and guest, and tons and tons of things to do in the area! Will be going back in the future!

This is almost a 5 star county campground. Excellent bathhouse and laundry. The sites are mushy after a rain as they are a mixture of rock, grass, and dirt. IF they were paved, this is a 5 star rating for me. The premium sites next to the river are worth the few extra dollars in price. I woke up in the middle of the night and watched a 1000 footer slide by my bedroom window. TIP: Get a free maritime app that shows the ships location in real time so you know when the next one is coming.

Great location for viewing ships coming in to the locks. Close proximity to tour boats and old downtown. Utilities are good, easy connections but no sewage, dump station only. Wifi is awesome. Sites are large and somewhat paved and fairly level. Interior roads are wide and paved. Friendly and helpful staff makes this a keeper on our list.

Nice quiet campground. Water/electric sites with a dump station. Mostly level. Not much privacy, you’re all backed in a circle around a big grassy space in the middle where you can see every camper. No shade trees. Unless you’re right by the water, the setup makes it a little difficult to see the ships go by. I wish there were more benches by the water to sit and watch without feeling like you’re in someone’s camp site. Otherwise a good price and good location to the downtown area. Nice that they have a great clean laundry room (but the dryer doesn’t dry on the first go round.)
