The 94-site campground adjoining a Wakefield city park has some real plusses (hot showers, for one; a nearby boat launch, for another). It might serve as a good alternative to the rustic state park campground at the Presque Isle River mouth at Lake Superior, about 20 miles away via CR 519. The campground is next to a pleasant, sandy swimming beach on Sunday Lake, appreciated because it's reliably warm enough for swimming when Superior is too cold. A man from outside Houghton enjoys camping here because it's a quiet campground, "the kids are always going to catch something," and the water quality is good, "refreshing and not hot even on a warm day." Don't be put off by the harmless yellow color, caused by tannin from hemlock roots.
The campground caters to RVs, but it appears they are not level enough for big rigs. An Airstream caravan that camped here in 2004 was most unhappy. The main drive with 79 RV sites is on a peninsula, beneath shady maples. Sites have electricity and water. Many sites are taken by weekly ($60) and monthly ($200) campers. (Rates are from 2004.) But space for overnight campers ($12/night) is usually available on a first-come, first-served basis except on July 4 weekend and the biannual boat race. About 15 tent sites ($5) are in an open area along the entrance drive.

One of the area's truly tucked-away jewels is this simple park: a long stretch of sandy beach on Lake Superior and a grassy bluff with a spectacular view above it. The campground, playground, and pavilion are on the bluff. It's a rustic campground (no showers, potable water available only at a central tank) that's just been upgraded with electricity (no 50 amp). The 32 sites ($12/day for nonresidents in 2004) are used mostly by RVs. There are three non-electric sites. Campsites are in a grassy, partly shady area, with no screening between neighbors. Some directly overlook the lake. Thanks to recent upgrades, reservations are now advised. A caretaker stays on the site.
