Bay Furnace Campground

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Bay Furnace Campground is located on the south shores of Lake Superior, near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. A favorite to many, the campground is centered among various waterfalls and other sightseeing attractions, including boat tours and visits to Grand Island. Fishing in Lake Superior is best by boat. There is no access to the lake at Bay Furnace, but there is a boat ramp approximately 10 miles west at AuTrain, and in Munising, less than 5 miles from the campground. Anglers can enjoy a variety of lake trout and salmon fishing. Visitors can reach the popular Grand Island via a 10-minute ferry ride or by private boat; this scenic island is a favorite for hiking, mountain biking and exploring. Various boat excursions are offered near the campground, a great way to explore the crystal clear blue-green waters of Lake Superior and view the stunning natural rock formations. The campground offers multiple single sites for tent and RV camping, with additional campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A day-use picnic area near the lake shore includes multiple tables, drinking water and accessible vault toilets. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of Lake Superior, with its spectacular sunrises, sunsets and occasional northern lights displays. Amid forests of deciduous trees, some sites overlook the lake while others are near Furnace Creek.
