About Baraga State Park
Campground in Michigan.
Baraga State Park in Michigan's picturesque Upper Peninsula offers RV travelers a serene retreat along the shores of Keweenaw Bay. Located at 1300 US-41 South in Baraga, this state park provides an authentic Michigan camping experience where natural beauty and outdoor recreation take center stage. The park's waterfront setting creates a peaceful atmosphere that draws visitors seeking respite from busy highways and crowded tourist destinations.
The surrounding landscape showcases the rugged charm characteristic of Michigan's UP, with dense forests, rocky shorelines, and pristine water views that change dramatically with the seasons. Spring brings wildflowers and the return of migratory birds, summer offers comfortable temperatures perfect for water activities, fall transforms the trees into brilliant reds and golds, and winter creates a quiet, snow-covered wonderland for those seeking solitude. This seasonal variety means the park appeals to different travelers throughout the year, each season offering its own distinct character and charm.
Baraga's location makes it an excellent base for exploring the broader Keweenaw Peninsula region. The area is steeped in mining history, and visitors interested in learning about Michigan's copper and iron mining heritage will find fascinating historical sites and museums within reasonable driving distance. The nearby town of Baraga itself provides essential services and local dining options where travelers can experience authentic UP hospitality and cuisine.
Water enthusiasts will appreciate the park's access to Keweenaw Bay, where fishing, boating, and swimming are popular activities during warmer months. The surrounding forests invite hiking and nature walks for those who prefer land-based exploration. The park's tranquil setting makes it ideal for families, couples seeking a romantic getaway, retirees enjoying an extended RV journey, and anyone looking to disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with nature.
With a solid 4.4 out of 5 rating from 683 reviews, Baraga State Park has earned a reputation as a reliable, well-maintained destination that consistently meets visitor expectations. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a longer stay exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this park offers the combination of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and peaceful camping that makes for memorable RV adventures.

Very nice campground loved it just very small things we didn’t like about it. 1. Our site was very close to the road so lots of road noise but nothing we can do. 2. It rained for about 2 days not the bad part. Bad part was the flooding throughout the campground. Luckily our site didn’t get it that bad. Other sites VERY BAD. Again can’t do anything about it just prepare for this if it happens. Bath... Very nice campground loved it just very small things we didn’t like about it. 1.

Luckily our site didn’t get it that bad. Other sites VERY BAD. Again can’t do anything about it just prepare for this if it happens. Bathroom/ shower house was nice had some ADULT guests act like kids and can’t just not be animals that’s not on the campground they did their job and had it all cleaned up. Very quiet place not close to anything but that’s not the problem. Can walk to the little diner at the end of the walking path. Would I recommend this place YES!!!! Absolutely!!!! Will we be back? Oh yeah I would go back.

Nice camping ground with one flaw. It's right next to a road that always has traffic on it. We stayed in the middle of the campground in a tent and we heard trucks going by all night. We also stayed a night in the back of the park and could hardly hear the traffic. The restrooms and showers were clean. Beautiful view of the Bay. If it wasn't so smoky from the wildfires the sunrise would have been... Nice camping ground with one flaw. It's right next to a road that always has traffic on it.

Great location being an hour away from a lot of things to do in any direction.

We had a paved full hook up site which we greatly appreciated on the rainy days. There is road noise, but it becomes white noise and even lighter/less noticeable at night. Restrooms were well maintained and clean...best we've seen in many years!

Very nice State Park. I have it a 4 star and not a five only because of the road traffic. It did quiet down after 11p and didn't start up again until 7a. Although we were there during the week and not on the weekend. We were in a camper so it wasn't too loud but I would suggest if noise bothers you or you are in a tent I would get a site that back up into the woods. The staff checking us in was gr...

We were in a camper so it wasn't too loud but I would suggest if noise bothers you or you are in a tent I would get a site that back up into the woods. The staff checking us in was great and even said our site should not be too wet but if it is please go back and see them and they will get us a better site. The town of Baraga was super cute and ever business we went into the people were as sweet as could be. We went to Nite Owl Cafe food it was great food as well as the owner who personally waited on us was lovely. Close waterfalls in Baraga just ask the locals
