Stayed two nights in mid September. Nice place to camp in the Fall. Very little trees except higher up in campground. Nice view of the lake. No county personnel on site when we were there. No wood for sale. Bring extra hose for water hookup. We needed 75 feet. They say they have pull thrus but not for a 37 ft RV. Sites are not very level either.

Visited during peak fall color season. Absolutely beautiful and a peaceful calm came over me as I walked the grounds. While RV camping is permitted and encouraged, I found myself visiting in my passenger vehicle. Lake Gogebic sets the scene for picturesque views anytime of year, while providing abundant recreational activities!

Clean campground, clean restrooms and everyone was very friendly. The sites are close together so don't expect too much privacy.
