About

Baraga State Park Campground is located on the scenic shores of Lake Superior's Keweenaw Bay in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. The modern campground features 95 sites divided into north and south loops, offering a mix of back-in, pull-through, and ADA-accessible sites. Most campsites are flat, generously sized, and shaded by mature oaks, maples, and pines. Electric hookups are available at all sites, with some offering 50-amp service and full hookups. A mini cabin that sleeps four is also available, equipped with a bunk bed, cot, mini refrigerator, microwave, and electric heat. The campground provides modern restrooms with showers, vault toilets, a sanitation station, and free WiFi during the camping season. An accessible playground with swings, climbing features, and rubberized surfacing is available for families. The park offers a quarter mile of Lake Superior rocky shoreline with three concrete walkways for lake access, perfect for kayaking, paddling, and enjoying spectacular sunsets. Baraga State Park is distinguished as one of the few Michigan state parks allowing ORV operation directly from the campground to nearby trail systems. The park connects to Twin Lakes State Park, Bewabic State Park, and Bond Falls Scenic Site via motorized routes, making it an ideal basecamp for exploring the Upper Peninsula. Nearby attractions include the Bishop Baraga Shrine, Sturgeon River Gorge, Mt. Arvon (Michigan's highest point), and Canyon Falls. The location provides convenient access to cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in winter months.
