Brimley State Park Campground

About

Brimley State Park Campground occupies 100 acres along Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay, offering one of the Upper Peninsula's most accessible Great Lakes camping experiences. The modern campground features sites with electric hookups (20/30/50-amp service available), each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Open grassy sites are buffered from the shoreline by a vegetated windbreak, while the southern and eastern boundaries are heavily wooded. Facilities include flush toilets, hot-water showers, potable water, trash service, and a sanitation (dump) station located before the campground entrance. The park's sandy swimming beach on Whitefish Bay is a primary attraction, along with a boat launch for exploring the waters. The area is known for excellent fishing and stunning Lake Superior sunsets. Established in 1923 when the Village of Brimley gifted the initial acreage to the DNR, this remains one of the oldest state parks in the Upper Peninsula. Pets are welcome in the campground but are not permitted on the beach. A Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry.
