This campground was by far the best on our trek through the UP! So clean - from the bathrooms to the office to the camp sites!

This is our favorite campground. Quiet, large sites, friendly owners and staff, directly across from Lake Superior. The bathrooms/showers are nice and clean.

This campground was cute, accommodating, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom is like a campground spa- clean, smelled nice, and played welcoming, relaxing music. The store has a lot to offer. You can walk to the beach and the hiking trails are very nearby! We watched the sunset from the campground patio and the owner gave up the best seat in the space to make our experience the best possible for us out of towners! Would go back if ever in the area!

The campground was very well maintained. Bathrooms and showers clean. Nice shade trees. There is a big fire ring in front with seating. Perfect for conversation with other campers and watch the sunset.

The property is clean, and very well maintained. We liked the large campsites, and the proximity to Lake Superior. We would stay here again.

The sites were level and we had plenty of space - both in length and width. Lots of trees for a very woodsy camping feeling. The campground is very upfront with their policies - so be sure to read everything. It is a great location near the sandy shoreline on Lake Superior, and very close to the Porcupine Mountain State Park Wilderness area, so a great place for base camp.

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

Great experience at URBBC located near Porcupine Mnt and on Lake Superior. The facility was clean and orderly, well maintained and everyone was very nice. Our site was mowed, large enough to park the 28ft RV comfortably and near the bathhouse. We will return.
