The campground was beautiful and immaculately maintained. The view of Lake Superior was amazing. And the location of the camp ground being right across the street for walks was absolutely perfect. The staff was super friendly. We could not have hoped for better!

We have been camping at Big Bear for 5 years. Super clean. Awesome bathroom and shower facilities. Everyone is very friendly. Within miles of the Porcupine Mountains and Lake of the Clouds. Highly recommended
