Union River's Big Bear Campground — Reviews

Clean, well maintained campground. Owners are very nice! We like that this campground is not a “party” campground. We travel with an 13yr old and 8yr old, so we appreciate the family like environment.

Small yet private, quiet, friendly staff, has wifi and all amenities. Can walk to Lake Superior no problem. Centrally located to many destinations in the area. Only thing was water pressure dropped in morning when possibly a lot of other guests were using water hook up waking up. Was very short interruption and would stay again/recommend to anyone.

Beautiful and well maintained campground! The grounds are well taken care of, the bathroom/shower building was so clean, and the sites are kept clean and mowed regularly. The store had anything we could've possibly needed and lots of merch for the campground and the Porkies. We were so happy to be able to go get little things we forgot when packing (like smores supplies) and it was all so fresh. They also had propane, bacon, eggs, and so much more. This campground has lots of rules and take them very seriously, this meant that our stay was so quiet and peaceful. We loved our stay and will be back!

Well run, well maintained, quiet oasis!

Nice location. Quiet,clean and very nice lady at check in.

Very well managed, maintained and clean. Spots are level, large and well spaced. I felt very comfortable using the showers and bathroom facilities. Fun fact: the pipe in soothing music in the bathrooms. I would definitely recommend

Nice spots, good bathrooms and great location

This is one of the best campgrounds I have stayed at. The bathrooms and shower s are clean there was no lie on the previous reviews on that one. Sure there are rules to follow. There not just for you they are for everyone to continue to enjoy this lovely campground for years to come. The staff owners are very nice and friendly. Lots of space between sites. Short walk to beach. Or to enjoy the Porcupine Mountains. If you don't want to start your own fire . Go down by the office join the crew there. Bring some cold beers and pass them around the campfire along with stories. Looking forward to going back a couple of times next year. Enjoy your stay like so many others have.

The restrooms were clean and well maintained, the sites were clean utilities were working properly.

Cleanly and quiet. Super close to the beach and park.

Location was great bathrooms were super clean and everybody was very friendly

Very clean and quiet campground. Beautiful location right across the road from Lake Superior. Campsites are well maintained, grassy and flat.

Beautifully maintained, very clean, and quiet family campground! The view and access to Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Very clean and comfortable. Super close to tons of hiking trails! Really nice store and community fire pit. Would definitely stay again the next time we’re in the area!

I am so happy I found this campground. It is quiet, very clean with shaded, roomy sites. There's a camp store with firewood and ice for sale. The couple who own the camp are available and very friendly. I also loved the location - right inside the Porcupine Mountains and Lake Superior access just across the street. We also noticed that many campers were return visitors. We loved being able to explore this part of Michigan, seeing Lake of the Clouds and a few hikes in the Mountains to beautiful scenic overlooks and waterfalls. This campground is a gem!

We had our check out date wrong. Very nice about it and let us stay in same spot. Very nicely kept campground. Only downside the dump station was full Monday morning after a busy weekend . Found a place down the road to take care of it. Would go agin. Great veiw.

The campground was well kept, the front office staff was very friendly to us out of towners, and biggest thing for my girlfriend, is the bathrooms were IMMACULATE. 5 star experience and we will be back!

This location was amazing - lake/beach access right across the street, and the facilities were impeccable. Great spot!

Rate for electric and water was a bit on the expensive side. 60/65 a night . Site was small , but other than that it was a good stay. Clean bathrooms , well taken care of campgrounds , and Lake Superior across the road with beach ⛱️ . Very nice .
