Baraga State Park

Framed by the picturesque expanse of Lake Superior's Keweenaw Bay, Baraga State Park Campground offers a harmonious blend of accessibility, scenic beauty, and recreational options. Its convenient location just off US-41 places it near the village of Baraga, making it a superb basecamp for exploring Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, while also providing campers with direct proximity to the shoreline and surrounding natural attractions.

The campground features a mix of tent and RV sites, many equipped with electric hookups and essential amenities like picnic tables and fire rings. Modern restroom facilities, hot showers, and a sanitary dump station enhance convenience for visitors. A short nature trail within the park provides an opportunity for a tranquil walk, while the park’s easy access to Lake Superior is perfect for kayaking, fishing, or simply soaking in the views. However, the highway bordering the park can bring some unavoidable traffic noise, which may impact those seeking total solitude.

Within a short drive, campers can discover a range of attractions, including the striking Bishop Baraga Shrine, numerous waterfalls, and scenic drives through the Upper Peninsula’s rugged landscapes. For those venturing off-site, the park also permits off-road vehicle (ORV) use, with connections to nearby ORV trails adding an adventurous dimension to any stay. Whether stopping for a night or planning a longer trip, this campground pairs practicality with the allure of the great outdoors.
