Camping at Hurricane River Campground near Munising

Public campground · Munising · 21 campsites

A forested campground near fishing. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The Lower Campground also serves as the trailhead for the Au Sable Light Station, a roughly 3-mile (5 km) round trip stroll that delivers close views of Lake Superior, Jacobsville sandstone outcrops, and visible shipwreck remains along the shore. Beyond the campground, Pictured Rocks offers about 100 miles (161 km) of trails to waterfalls, beaches, sand dunes, inland lakes and high cliff overlooks, plus opportunities for boating, paddling, fishing, swimming, wildlife viewing, climbing, and diving where conditions permit.

“Beautiful location and site. Our only problem was that someone was set up in the spot we reserved. And there was no campground host to go to. But this may have been due to the govt shutdown.”

Pam H 3 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Absolutely loved it! Gorgeous views and close to the trails. Loved how close it was to the lighthouse.”

How far ahead to book Hurricane River Campground

For July weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 55 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (8,586 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
