Hiawatha/Bay Furnace
Hiawatha Bay Furnace is a historic iron furnace located in Munising, Michigan. It was built in 1883 and operated until 1891.

Camped here many times in the 70s with good friends. One passed 5 years ago and we placed his ashes in the creek down by the old furnace. A beautiful spot to spend eternity.

We had a great stay at Bay Furnace! The beach is nice for collecting rocks and taking a walk. We grabbed a first come first serve site - I’m thankful they have them! It felt a bit competitive getting one….we sort of had to stalk people who were leaving. The campsites feel very private and secluded. The bathrooms were regularly cleaned and pretty good for what is basically an outhouse. However, it seemed that a lot of people might just pee right at their campsite as we could definitely smell urine at ours. All sites are non-electric which unfortunately means that a surprising number of people run loud generators. Overall we had a great time and recommend the site.

Campground is really nice. The manager and host are friendly and helpful. Dump station and potable water is available. Bathrooms are clean, and all sites are dirt and some grass and provide a lot of shade. Be aware the sites are not level so you'll need leveling blocks. Sites have a fire ring and picnic tables. Fire wood is available to purchase from the camp manager. There are several sites marked R and are reservable online.. If no tag on the R sites you can stay for one night.. All reservations should be done online, the others are FF.
