Because the turning radius and some parking site lengths are limited within this campground, we recommend single vehicles no more than 36 feet and vehicle/trailer combined length no more than 42 feet use this campground. The campground is open by reservation only, mid-May through mid-October. Leashed pets allowed.

Fire/Stove Policy

Metal campfire rings with grill grates are available at each campsite in the lakeshore's drive-in campgrounds. Keep your fire in the fire ring provided. If there is no fire ring, fires are prohibited. Collecting wood in the campground is prohibited. Buy firewood locally. Keep your fire small. Never leave a fire burning when you leave the site. Dowse it with water. Beach fires are prohibited. To prevent the potential spread of emerald ash borer, ash firewood is banned in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Ash firewood is a carrier for the emerald ash borer, a small exotic insect that has infested ash trees in many parts of the country.
