About this campground

Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Ontonagon Michigan offers partial and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping spread out in multiple campgrounds throughout one of the few remaining large wilderness areas in the Midwest. Towering virgin timber, secluded lakes, and miles of wild rivers and streams make a visit to the Porkies a trip to remember. Black bears are common in the Porkies.

What campers say

Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park on Lake Superior offers sweeping overlooks (Lake of the Clouds is a frequent highlight), varied scenery from old-growth forest to waterfalls and rocky shoreline, and extensive hiking including challenging elevation gains and long backcountry routes. The visitor center and park staff are repeatedly praised for being friendly and helpful. Trails are generally well-maintained though some sections can be rocky or soggy. Backcountry campsites deliver remote lakeshore views but may be unsuitable for families and require reservations. Expect heavy black flies in season—bring strong repellent and long clothing.
