BARAGA STATE PARK
(906) 353-6558; michigan.gov/baraga; reservations at (800) 44-PARKS or midnrreservations.com
Traffic on U.S. 41 whizzes right by the shady campground here, without a ridge or woods to buffer the noise. But campers do get to look out past the highway to Keweenaw Bay. A beach is across the road; a 3/4 mile nature trail along old beach ridges and past a beaver pond begins at the campground. 108 modern sites are here with 20 amp or 30 amp service ($16/ night), mini-cabin ($45), 10 semi-modern sites with no electricity ($14), and a 4-person colorful canvas tepee $30). Except for the July 4 weekend and the pow wow weekend (the last full July weekend), at least some campsites have been available any time. But it's a good idea to make reservations for July. Baraga State Park is convenient as an overnight stop going to or from the northern Keweenaw. And it's a good base camp for making day trips nearby and to the Porcupine Mountains, Calumet, Copper Harbor, and Van Riper State Park. Summer Explorer nature programs for families from June into late August, Tuesday through Saturday, mostly afternoon and evenings. Call for upcoming programs. Reservations: (800) 44-PARKS.
