Munising Tourist Park

LowerMichigan248

Munising Tourist Park Campground offers one of the most scenic camping experiences in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, with about 20% of the sites directly overlooking Lake Superior. The sunsets are spectacular, and the location is perfect for exploring Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore — just a few minutes away. The campground itself is clean and generally well-maintained. One of the two shower and restroom facilities were closed for remodeling so had to walk or drive to the other end of the park to use showers/restrooms. Sites vary quite a bit in size and privacy — the lakefront spots are unbeatable for the view but can be windy and more exposed, while the sites offer slightly better shelter but less scenery. Staff were all business. Upon check-in, the female was only interested in getting me checked in and helping the man that was next. No chit-chat here. Electrical hookups are available on lake side sites and saw hookups on other sites. Not sure they are available on all sites though. Also sewer at the individual sites or at least there was on ours. Not sure if there was Wi-Fi but cell service was fine. Since it's right along the highway, traffic noise has to be dealt with and can be quite loud until late at night when traffic dies down. Overall, Munising Tourist Park Campground is a great base for sightseeing, kayaking, or hiking in the area. It’s best suited for campers who value location and views over luxury amenities.

The campground is small but nice and quiet. We loved having a spot right on the water that was just a few feet from our campground! It is wasn't for the road traffic, I would give this site a 5* but being so close to the road, it was annoying at times. Beautiful campground and gorgeous lake!

The campground is perfectly situated—just minutes from town and surrounded by parks and recreational areas. Our site was near the highway, which we anticipated, so while the road noise was noticeable, it wasn’t a surprise and did settle down overnight. Beach access from the campground is quick and easy, and the stunning views more than make up for any traffic-related inconvenience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made our stay even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely return!

june 23-24, 2025 tent camped for one night here at Site S (a beach site). (women’s) restrooms were clean, but as an FYI there are quite large gaps in between the stall doors and mirrors right across from the stalls which makes it easy to see in / lack privacy.. staff at the camp store were nice. we wish parking was a bit better for the beach/rustic tent sites. there’s only a small concrete space and some dirt parking beside it, and it seemed like not quite enough for everyone staying at the rustic beach sites (and I think each site only had 1 car; this might be due to no lines and people parking poorly too though). the site itself was BEAUTIFUL besides a bit longer of a walk to the actual Site S than we thought (but we did see a wheelbarrow you could use). it also is quite far from the restrooms, just FYI. our neighbors were polite once we talked to them but we felt frustrated when we came back to our site and the picnic table was moved (meaning one site had 2 and we now had 0). this wasn’t the campground owners’ fault though of course. the fire pit was nice. the location of the campground is nice too, as it’s not a far drive away from gas stations, stores, coffee shops, and town if needed. overall: the rustic tent sites are in an amazing location—right on the beach only a few feet from the water. the camp store and bathrooms are a bit run down in my opinion, and the main area (away from the rustic sites) didn’t feel really welcoming, but it’s worth it for the views you get at the site!

This is a beautiful campground right on the shores of Lake Superior. The front office was friendly and helpful, the grounds are beautifully kept, and it's peaceful and quiet. And it's very affordable for a full-hookup site! The only thing that was a little weird is the location of the utilities. They are different at each site. We actually had to share a pedestal with another campsite, both of us needing 30 amp service. Luckily we did have an adapter (30->50), although the office said they could loan us one if we did not. Still - 10/10 recommend staying here. We loved our stay and the town of Munising! (We stayed in site 27, but would love to have gotten a site right on the lakefront.)
