A place to park your RV. Good Tribal (Native American) Campground for adults and families looking to stay a couple nights just to sleep in their RV while you visit local attractions. Campground has nice, older, but overall maintained facilities. Very good value. Nothing for kids to do while there. About half sites are full hook up ($35/night) and the rest have water and electricity ($25). The campground doesn’t have any recreational activities for anyone. Wild Bluffs Golf Course is right next to campground. Barebones is best way to describe. There is a beach to swim at with a small playground for kids a half mile north of the camp. Casino is across the street. A Lake Superior bay can be seen across the street from the campground. Taquamenon Falls & St. Ignace is an hour away. Sault Ste. Marie is 30 minutes. Around 10 minutes to Iroquois Lighthouse and 55 minutes to Whitefish Point Lighthouse. The parks grass tends to be on the high side. Appears to be at least a couple weeks since last cut. Better suited for adults or short stays than kids. Restrooms and showers are clean and maintained but dimly lit. Has 2 dump stations as well but the water didn’t work to clean out your hoses. Roads in park are gravel but maintained. Fire pits on every lot. Sites are on the tight side but wide enough to park your RV. Great value for the money. I’d stay again if we were just looking to have a clean place to sleep while visiting local attractions.
The place is very unorganized. They hire people and throw them into a job they don't know a day later. They first told us to find a site we wanted, then they lost our paperwork and didn't know we had paid. The next day we went to the office to extend our stay by a day and they lost that as well so they couldn't understand why we hadn't checked out. They don't take care of the grounds at all. Not sure the last time they mowed or trimmed. They did keep up with the trash pickup. The plus is the sites are nice size and quiet.
We averaged $29 / night for W/E50/S/C/I for a very level, dirt, sunny pull through site. The campground was crowded when we arrived on a Saturday and the internet was poor. By Monday after most everybody left it was much, much better. The fantastic cable system offered over 100 channels though several of them were music channels. I rated this 5 stars because of the value!! This campground is within 30 minutes of Ste St. Marie. We toured the locks on the boat tour and it was fascinatng to learn about them and how vital they have been historically to our country. Whitefish Point is with the Greater Lakes Shipwreck Museum is an hour away which chronicles the history of upper great lakes ship wrecks. Also Tahquamenon Falls State Park is an hour away. The upper falls in the park are wonderful.
We love coming to Bay Mills Campground in Brimley, Michigan. The weather was awesome. We enjoyed the foods we cooked on the bonfire. The free wifi was not the best, it wasn't even user friendly, I found it to be a pain. It kicks you off for no reason, then you have to go through the long process of getting wifi connected again, fridays and saturdays it doesn't work.
Have stayed at Bay Mills campground for a few years. The amenities are great, wi fi, cable, electric, water. A lot of sites, all pull through. Was there in July restrooms, showers and laundry where closed because of covid. Going back for a night next week.
