It’s beautiful if you’re on the water I’m sure but if you have a big rig and want the hook ups you get about 2’x40’ sliver of grass. My picnic table is touching our neighbors sewer house so if that’s what you’re looking for then this is the right fit for you. UPDATE… It’s actually a beautiful campground with great sites. Just so happens that I got 1 of the few crap ones. Other then that it has been a great experience and made our site work.

Great little campground off the beaten path but right on the water! Sites are gravel and fairly level close to the water, there’s a separate area with full hook ups for big rigs too. I didn’t use the facilities during my stay (there are bathrooms and showers, as well as laundry. Wood and ice on site-no other store items so bring your groceries with you!) my only issue was low water pressure on my site-I worked around using my pump and fresh tank. Staff was friendly and always Available- riding around the park. My dogs and I enjoyed a week of bliss on the water while exploring Copper Harbor and the Keweenaw! Would absolutely return should I ever come back to the area!

We have brought our family and stayed for a week 3 different times over the past few years. The previous 2 stays were great, and we love the area. However a few weeks ago, Labor Day weekend 2025, the camp host "Sheryl" accidentally rammed her golf cart into our guest's parked car in broad daylight, causing severe ($3000) damage to his car. Then she hit another truck right afterwards. She was barely remorseful. Then she became angry that we called the police to assess the situation for repair. Since this incident, the owner has refused to offer this young man, a student at Michigan Tech, any assistance in his repairs. Even worse! The owner used a variety of cuss words to belittle this young man for even asking! Note to business owners, (which we are too) -- If your employee causes damage to your guests' personal property, a business owner should bend over backwards to make things right. At a bare minimum, Sunset Bay should cover his deductible for his body shop repairs. Insult to injury, this will count as an insurance claim and his rates will likely increase. Yes, No Fault insurance protects you. But honest Google Reviews can cost you dearly in the long run also. Best practice, use the Golden Rule to avoid the wrath of Karma.

The park is older but that added a nostalgic feel for our stay. We had a nice spot that’s was fairly close to the lake. The cabins and rest rooms look rustic but were nice inside. The short walk to Superior provides stunningly beautiful views on rocky cliffs. The beach is covered with rock and agate. Night hunting for yooperlites turned up a handful of small ones.

Stayed at the campground here, absolutely beautiful. Every night a gorgeous sunset clear over the water and every morning you can walk out across the beach to watch the sunrise. Expected hole in the ground kind of toilets but was pleasantly surprised to running water for both toilets and showers. Most importantly, hot water! Water is a little cold for swimming, such is lake superior, but you can't miss the view and watching all the tankers in the distance passing through.

What an amazing place! Our sight was in the lower section so we had a beautiful view of the lake. The idea of putting tents directly on the water and RVs in rows back it excellent. Our view was never obscured by some massive trailer. You really are just out in the woods with the most amazing night views of the stars. The bathrooms were small, single serve, and full of flies but not because they were gross, just the nature of nature. We used the bathrooms and showers because our site did not have sewer hook ups. They have some newer sites with sewer hook ups, but it doesn't look like you get a view from them. So we were happy in our spot. They have dump stations, so we just used the cart when necessary. They have some at the campground you can use if you don't have your own. My wife works from the trailer and amazingly the wifi here was among the best we have had yet. Probably because everyone else is taking in the scenery rather than streaming, working, or gaming. If you are planning a trip to the UP you are doing it because it is gorgeous. This place only adds to that.

My first year coming here was in 2016 I had just lost my son and needed to get away alone.. I drove knowing I wanting to stay by water seven hours later I ended up here at Sunset Bay. They not only accommodated me with no reservations but made my stay unequivocally the best experience I’ve ever had. With this being said I have continued to stay here every year at the same time since. It is by far the only place I feel closest to my son and feel a sense of peace within myself the photos how beautiful they are can’t even show the real beauty of this place. The waves, smells, and wonderful owners and employees only make it that much more of my place of peace

So, first the good This place is beautiful, family owned, nice beach and the owners are super friendly and helpful. The not so good. We were the first large unit (41ft 5th wheel) to stay in the new section. We were sort of the experiment to see if it was laid out properly. Turns out that they need to cut down a few more trees and spread more gravel so that larger rigs can navigate. That said, once completed it will be very nice.

My wife and I rode in during the week. We had a reservation for the small cabin. It was perfect for what we needed. The management was all over anything that we needed. Very friendly! All the campers were friendly, and helped point us to the best place for a view of the Sunset. Can't wait to make our next trip out.

Another amazing 2 weeks four years in a roll and planned next year all ready. Peaceful surroundings. The Sunset management doesn't rule with an iron fist bug tent are allowed, wet towel are allowed to dry outside just a nice comfortable family campground. Just love the lady in the golf cart that checks you in. Thanks again for another great year.
