Setting
Bay View Campground offers rustic camping in a heavily shaded forest along the sandy shores of Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay. Situated off the Whitefish Bay Scenic Byway in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the site attracts visitors for beach walking, birding, and exploring nearby destinations like Point Iroquois Lighthouse and Tahquamenon Falls. Single-family tent and RV sites each include a picnic table and campfire ring with a grill. Vault toilets and hand-pumped drinking water are located throughout the grounds, and a resident campground host is on site.
