ONTONAGON TOWNSHIP PARK
(906) 884-2930 (seasonal); (906) 884-2415

This simple park and campground, tucked away northeast of downtown Ontonagon, enjoys a long, sandy Lake Superior beach and beautiful views. Campsites under big pines are big enough to accommodate 35' rigs, but don't provide privacy between sites. Electricity and water serves each site, but there are no showers or flush toilets. There's a playground and a walkway to town. Sunset views from the walkway or beach are outstanding. This is a real find for spur-of-the-moment vacationers who haven't made reservations at the Porkies. Thus far, it only fills on holiday weekends. Not reservable.
