Union River's Big Bear Campground — Reviews

One of the finest campgrounds I've been to and I am a full-time moving RVer.

This is an amazing campground. Very friendly owners. Super clean shower/bathroom facilities. Beautiful location.

Very nice campground. Across the road from a beautiful sand beach. Sites are a good distance apart, level, and clean. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Highlight for me was the flock of hummingbirds at their three feeders. We will be back.

Great campground location for the Porkies. Nice gravel sites. Bathrooms clean if a bit outdated.

It’s an absolutely beautiful campground, so well kept. The only drawback was the site we chose. It was pretty short and narrow thus hard to get our truck on our driveway. Because of the shape (kind of piece of pie) we felt very close to our neighbors on either side.

Great facilities, great location, super friendly people who work there. They even have a heated bathroom with showers! It almost felt like glamping, but I was in my tent.

Very quiet, respectful campground!!! Owners were very friendly. We plan to come back and bring our kids next time. 10/10 recommend! We loved the pull through site. Fire rings are very nice! Each site has a decent amount of room, so you are not extremely close to the next site.

Beautiful campground! Clean and quiet, right on beautiful Lake Superior.

Clean, Quiet, and very beautiful. We loved camping here and will definitely be back.

This is a hidden gem! We found this campground on a whim and it exceeded our expectations. Greta view of the river/ lake from our campsite, very clean bathrooms/ showers, and the campground owners are so kind! They have a little general store in the office where you can buy a lot of little things if you’ve forgotten something or run out of something. A great spot to camp at if you are wanting to explore the Porkies. We will definitely be back!

The campsite was clean, spacious, and the bathroom was better than I have at home. What a nice stay.

It was a very clean friendly campground. Beautiful spot! The only problem was we were next to the bath house and the women’s door slammed shut every time someone went in or out. Very loud. Had to keep our air fan blowing to sleep.

This campground is amazing! It's not too big, but not too small, quiet and SUPER clean. I don't think there was a single spec of dust in the bathroom. The bathroom even had spa music! Tons of trees and very well maintained. It has a great park for kids with new equipment. They even had a litte store with tons of cute things like camping essentials, homemade gifts, shirts, firewood and more. The owners are fantastic and were so nice, helpful, and answered any questions we had on the area. The campground is also right across from a great beach on Superior with a ton of Yooperlights to be found! Additionally it is right next to the Porcupine Mountains if that is where you wish to explore. There isn't much for city life nearby but Ontonagon is about 15 min and has a few cafes to eat at and a laundromat. Most don't go to the UP for city life though :) We loved it and would recommend this campground to anyone!

Nice campground. Owners are very helpful. Bathrooms are clean and have "spa" music playing. Great location to enjoy the Porkies.

The campsite was incredible. A stones throw from Lake Superior as well as the entrance to the Porkies. The couple that own and maintain the campground obviously love what they do and take care of their campers. The facilities were well maintained, clean and conveniently located. I will definitely stay here again if we come up to this area again.

Beautiful campground on Lake Superior, the sunset was spectacular. Owners were very friendly and the bathrooms were the best I've ever seen with piped in spa music!

Excellent place , excellent service. Great beach

This is a fantastic campground in a absolutely beautiful location. Perfect Basecamp for exploring the Porcupine wilderness! Well run, clean and manicured.

This campsite is beautiful, despite all the other reviews they didn't get on me and my boyfriend for listening to music at our campfire after 10. This is a very chill campground. The owner was very sweet. Showers and bathrooms are clean. I'll come here again!

Bathrooms and showers were nice and clean. The music piped in over the speakers was a nice touch. Fairly quiet campground, and has nice access to the beach. We found more yooper lights here than Little Girls Point. Overall a great stay, and we would definitely return.
