Camping near Ontonagon

·

Set on the shores of Lake Superior on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Ontonagon has an abundance of camping adventures. Affectionately known as the Porkies, the landscape of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park ranges from idyllic Lake Superior beaches to rugged terrain perfect for hiking. Presque Isle River flows through the area, inviting anglers to reel in brook, rainbow, and brown trout. Family-friendly campgrounds here offer everything from rustic backcountry tent camping to RV campsites with 30-amp hookups, firepits, and picnic tables. For a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature, hike into safari canvas tents. Just south is Ottawa National Forest where campers can explore one million acres of sprawling wilderness. Along with gorgeous waterfalls along the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River, Bond Falls Flowage offers excellent fishing prospects—namely walleye, northern pike, and panfish. Go on a rugged, dispersed camping escape, or park travel trailers up to 60 feet long at on-site RV sites with convenient access to drinking water, hot showers, and toilet facilities.
