Bay View (Hiawatha National Forest, MI)

Located just off the Whitefish Bay Scenic Byway in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Bay View Campground provides a rustic opportunity to camp along the shores of Lake Superior, and makes a good base amid the many recreational opportunities in the Sault Ste. Marie area. Miles of sandy beaches and beautiful sunsets stretch across Lake Superior, the greatest single body of fresh water in the world. Birding and sightseeing are popular pastimes, and visitors enjoy long walks along Superior's beaches, or exploring the Whitefish Bay National Scenic Byway all the way to the beautiful Tahquamenon Falls. The rustic campground offers multiple single-family campsites for tent and RV camping. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill, and vault toilets and hand-pumped drinking water are available at several locations within the campground. Most of the sites are heavily shaded. A campground host lives on site and can be available to answer questions. The campground is located in Lake Superior's famous Whitefish Bay, the site of numerous historically preserved shipwrecks and lighthouse stations. The area is also a natural corridor for migratory birds. Tahquamenon Falls, a series of beautifully brown-colored waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River, is just 30 miles away. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and Whitefish Point Lighthouse are 39 miles to the north and west, while the Point Iroquois Lighthouse lies about 8 miles east.
