On a beach near the Montreal River mouth, Saxon Harbor consists of a county park, marina, and the Harbor Lights Bar & Restaurant. Several waterfalls including the spectacular Superior Falls are nearby. The semi-modern campground (over 15 sites) is a grassy area surrounded by trees. It adjoins a picnic area with pavilion, swimming beach, and new playground. Campsites have electricity but no water. Flush toilets, no showers. There is a pump-out station. First-come, first-served. Charter fishing, fishing info, and overnight dockage is available through the restaurant/marina (715-892-2242). $9/night plus $2/night for 30 amp service, $4/night for 50 amp. First-come, first-served. Campsites fill on holidays and some summer weekends. Come by Thursday and you'll probably get a spot.

From U.S. 2 at Saxon, about 12 miles west of Hurley, go north about four miles on Hwy. 122, turn left on CR A. Also reachable from CR 505 and Little Girl's Point in Michigan. Open from Mem. Day into October. Handicap access: call.
