We have travelled in our 36 foot MH extensively in the US. This will be our worst Park ever. Expensive and fraudulent. No cable, no internet, terrible rusty water and huge pot holes through out no WiFi.. The surrounding area of Michigan is beautiful. We would have been better off staying in a parking lot.

It’s not totally updated, it’s expensive and the water comes from a well but it’s full of beautiful mature trees and it’s in a great location. My sight was level, electric/sewer was good, we had a big fire pit, a solid picnic table and the camp wi-fi worked for streaming movies at night. The next time we are in the area, we will stay ...moreIt’s not totally updated, it’s expensive and the water comes from a well but it’s full of beautiful mature trees and it’s in a great location.

This is the most repulsive rv park we've ever been to. It is advertised as green grass, beach front property, well maintained. It has been a disaster! Nothing but dirt and gravel, dead birds and animals everywhere, the Ranger as he calls himself charges different amounts to different people. We paid over 200.00 for three nights.

Nothing but dirt and gravel, dead birds and animals everywhere, the Ranger as he calls himself charges different amounts to different people. We paid over 200.00 for three nights. Cable tv does not work ( we don't watch tv anyway) the private beachfront is an overlook on the highway with no beach access, unless you climb over the fence and go down a steep bluff. There are no amenities here whatsoever. We will never come back to this place ever. The owner is a fraud!

Try not to compare this RV experience on price as up here in the UP the camping season is only about 4 good months so pricing will be a little higher than what you are used. Also, don't expect much as far as amenities go as again this an experience to be up here and enjoy the simple majestic views the area has to offer.If are looking for a cookie cutter type RV place try getting into Country Village near Ishpeming.More likely they will be full so this is your next best option to being close to Marquette and all of its beauty.I will be posting this same review on other sites to help the owner who is seriously a one man show.Rates are around $50 a night and he will work with you for weekly and monthly stays. This is still one of our favorite parks after full time traveling for the past 7 years. It is connected to Mountain Bike / ORV trails from the back of the campground. Plenty of tree foliage throughout the park to have some shade and not so tight next to your neighbors. Across the street is a road pull off stock to view the lake. Steps leading down taking out by storms. You can still access at your own risk for a nice beach side to enjoy the water.The Good:Downtown Marquette. (11 miles away)Pictured Rocks Tours. (32 miles away)Full hookups 30/50 Amp service.Large even sites. (gravel / dirt) Lots of trees.Fun rec room and movie room. Lots of hand stone carvings.Brewery in the works. Laundry on site.Across the road is Lake Superior with a walk down beach, stair down have been removed due to storms.The Bad:Water is well, so be mindful of that. Pressure was low so fill your fresh fill when you can and pump from there.We didn't use their bathhouse or showers so no review.We worked fine from our RV using Verizon and a booster and this time we are finding that our AT&T is having better success on 3G for reliability. Park has Wifi, but spotty so I wouldn't rely on it.I know he could use a good work camper during the summer months, so if you get a chance and are interested it never hurts to ask. .

Gitche Gumee RV Park sits almost on Lake Superior but there is no way to easily access the beach because of steep cliffs. The lake is not viewable from most of the sights.

The lake is not viewable from most of the sights. We called ahead and informed the owner/operator we would arrive a day late due to a rig issued and we had no problem because we were charged for every day booked with no exception. Here is my summary of the plus and minus of Gitche Gumee RV Park.The good:1. Lots of surrounding woods. 2. Many sites are pull throughs and can accommodate big rigs.3. Every full-hookup site has two blackwater locations, one in the back of the site and one in the front. Very odd but could come in handy if you want to change the direction your RV faces. The bad:1 The internet is spotty at best and goes down every few minutes requiring a reboot.2. Cell service is 3-G. The best our T-Mobile or Google FI phones could do was two bars . 3. As expected calls are frequent dropped. 4. The portable/drinking water has major issues. I inadvertently left a jug of water with its cap on out overnight. In the morning I noticed it looked like urine (pale yellow). I could not drink it and did not fill my tank water with this "potable" water. I had read about this problem in another review but minimized the issue. My mistake.5. This is literally a one man show. The owner/operator has no help. 6. Not all but some of the sites are constructed so the RV's are right on top of one another. Even more problematic is the sites are laid out at angles which put your window in a direct line of sight with your neighbors window. The distance between these windows was no more than ten feet. 6. The site pads and roads are mostly dirt with limited stone. Not unusual in $30 to $35 dollar per night campgrounds but unusual for a $60 a night campground. 7. Overflowing trash. I only found one bin and it was beyond overflowing. The pile was at least three feet above the top of the bin. Some bags on the ground. Summary:For a campground to have very limited amenities, muddy roads and pads, bad water and charge $59/night (no refunds for any reason) for a full hookup feels like a ripoff. I have stayed in many campgrounds in the $30 to $40 range with much better facilities. I have also stayed in campgrounds in the $50-$60 per night range that were hands down far superior to Gitche Gumee RV Park and Campground. My advice, if your are stuck for a night go ahead and stay but if you want to spend a week taking in all that Lake Superior has to offers keep on moving down the road.

We stayed for 35 days so our monthly rate was pretty affordable compared to the nightly rate. During season and special events price could be closer to $50.00 a day with weekly and monthly discounts available.

During season and special events price could be closer to $50.00 a day with weekly and monthly discounts available. For us this ended up being one of our favorite parks as it suited us well with access to Mountain Bike, Dirt Bike and ORV trails from the back of the park. It was also very pet friendly with lots of room for our cats to safely roam close by with a good amount of privacy between sites.The Good:Close to downtown Marquette (11 miles away)Full hookups 30/50 Amp serviceLarge even sites. (gravel / dirt)Lots of treesFun rec room and movie room. Lots of hand stone carvings.Across the road is Lake Superior with a walk down beach.Laundry on site.The Bad:Water is well, so be mindful of that.Pressure was low so we filled up our 100 gallon fresh tank and pumped from there.We didn't use their bathhouse or showers so no review.We worked fine from our RV using Verizon and a booster with download speeds of 10+Mbps and 3+ Mbps up consistently. Park has Wifi, however we did not test.We even liked the park so much that we helped the owner out for free with his old flash site and did a simple responsive site to get him up to date.I know he could use a good work camper during the summer months, so if you get a chance and are interested it never hurts to ask. Feel free to name drop us as well as he did take a liking to us.
